I saw Ronnie Moore score, long time no see from you pal, your writings are rarer than one of his goals. Masky Of Llandaff
Thing is, even if the pic has been taken, there's still no guarantee it will 100% go through. I'm sure I have memories of Dan James on that Leeds documentary having done everything at Leeds end, paperwork signed, photo with shirt all done, and then the Jacks started playing silly beggars, delayed too long and missed the end of the window, collapsing the whole move. Ok, this is different as we're not at deadline day but dangers still lurk whilst things are left unfinished. Hopefully it is just a minor paperwork delay and whoever's tray it's in at Man City's end gets to it sharpish.... No more bloody coffee breaks until it's done please!!!
Just saw some clips of him playing. Not sure where or the league standard. Very comfortable on the ball, moves well, picks out good passes and has a bit of bite in the tackle. Masky shut up!!! Given time to settle in, should be a big asset.
Pretty typical that. 4 year contract, so amortising the fee over that is peanuts for FFP. Hoping he will have a decent value after 2 years as well. Reading the article he's had a Bluebirds shirt on before.
Good old Gavin Rae - always liked him - a very committed player for us. Once a Bluebird always a Bluebird eh??
It might be just me, but does anybody really understand this?.................... https://eflanalysis.com/analysis/pl...hip-2024-25-data-stats-analysis-scout-report/
I can't believe someone has put all that together. I wonder how many other players they've done it for. It's far too analytical for me I'm afraid.
I think they do it for all of them. I read we've got new s/w to help. It's part of Tan's enthusing. We spent ages talking about the academy, the work done to complete the building, the players coming through and the software brought in which will continue to ensure we are in the best position to develop and scout for players.
Now that kind of analysis is a bit of me!! TBF the fact that the data is from his time in the Belgian league may skew things slightly (rightly or wrongly I associate that league as being less physical) but on pure stats he could be a decent acquisition....
The only thing I take from that mish mash is that he doesn’t get back to defend much! He’s going to have to work on that.
