You can't enjoy reading a good discussion on here without the usual bedwetters & complainers moaning like a bunch of on rag ****s.

The irony is that it's their whinging, moaning, bedwetting & weak personalities that are the real reason threads get derailed & not the people discussing various topics, whatever they may be.

Do you pissy pant ****s honestly believe that a 3 month transfer thread will not digress from topic? If you took out all the posts from the offended few the thread would be half the size & twice as good.

****s.

I see you're using some loose stats there, but that's okay, I know the depth of your experience in these things.

In not sure about jelavic, which pl club would take him on his performances this season and his Bullard knees. I'll make a bold statement "I think he's finished at the top table"

Funnily enough we're buying player(s) from a club Brentford, that runs the team on analysis and statistics, sources players based on statistical analysis. It is why Warburton didn't have his contract renewed, as he didn't fully buy into it and it is why Dijkhuizen was brought in this season, because he had used a similar system in Holland.

Gray was brought into Brentford based on his statistical perfhttp://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/feb/22/brentford-mathematical-modelling-denmarkormances at Luton. The same for Odubajo at Leyton Orient.

Brentford don't seem to have done a bad job, given the size of the club and the division they are currently in.

Bloody hell, you say it how you want, but Gray, et al, weren't just bought on the basis of statistics; I don't if this is what you are referring to as your source of information, but read it and note this:

But using mathematical modelling as well as traditional scouting has helped the club acquire players they believe are undervalued, including Kris Olsson from Arsenal, Marco Ureña from Kuban Krasnodar and Jim Larsen from Club Brugge.

Edit (device playing up): I like what they are doing, but they retain their human intuative judgment skills, which is exactly what I have been saying - they are also careful not to divulge detail of how they use the statistical modelling.

Mathematics or 'Metrics' are used to measure performance. These are the same measurements Sqawka use to measure player performance. Funnily enough they are surprisingly accurate.

This is not the first time this system has been adopted 'Moneyball' is a film based on a true story about Billy Beane and his Baseball Team the Oakland A's. Sabermetric modelling and for scouting and analysing players, so they could compete with teams that had far more financial muscle. They set an all American record by winning 20 consecutive games with a team built solely on statistics.
 
Not sure if mentioned, but Brizzle are offering 6m up front for Gray, and it's been accepted. Have absolutely no idea why we aren't matching that after our pursuits.

If all your repetitively offensive, universally antagonistic, poorly phrased, inferiority-complex denying posts were removed (go back and scan the ENTIRE thread for your own "contribution" to it), this and a few other threads would be 1/4 of the size and ten times as good.
Incidentally, how do you pay little Quilly and the other confused followers in your little clique? In asterisks?

£9M seems like a lot of money for Gray, but I can understand why he's worth that to Bristol City. Similar gamble to us paying £10M for Hernandez.

Not at all similar, since Hernandez had done nothing in England.

Gray is a known quantity, not a gamble.
