Whoever plays up front, with his back to goal or coming off the halfway line from out wide will be blessed imo.

With players like Diarra, Enzo, etc, and their range of passing, there'll be all kinds of service to them.

Providing we can keep things tight at the back we'll have enough breaks when Isidor, Mayenda, Talbi, Mundle, Asingra, etc, will benefit.

I think Isidor will be better suited to the PL and the opposition will know it's a big risk leaving him 'one on one' if they're attacking.

For me it's a case of Diarra winning the ball, off to Enzo and fired up the line or through the channels.

I'm not expecting too much intricate passing and triangles at first ...

... and PLEASE no risky passing around the back from the keeper.

We need to get the crowd buzzing, not chewing their fingernails.

I’m really happy that we’ve brought in a couple of wingers too, it means ELF will likely stay in the middle where he really shines. He’s drifts in and out of the game when shunted out wide (which is understandable).

ELF is such a good player, he reminds me of Steed Malbranque. Little, but difficult to get off the ball and very technical.

We not taking into account the clubs he's played for either and how awful their defences have been too? I don't know just feels like people are quick to judge with him, I was doing it myself. I don't think he is worth 20m+ like but there's nothing to say that's gonna be the case, i'm sure his release clause is only 20m

That data doesn't really care about the standard of the team, it's purely numbers based upon shot quality. He was in the minus at Arsenal as well.

Tbh, I’d hope not, he’s there to an improve a keeper he’s not a scout nor has he necessarily worked with the level of keeper the club want to move forward

Surely your coaches job is to notice your players strengths and weaknesses and what they need to work on. would be highly surprised if they did not ask the gk coach what he thought a potential gk signing strengths and weaknesses are

This doesn’t matter

it’s all based on the standard of shot you face and concede

I reckon it will be a collaboration. He’ll get to input and may well suggest but won’t get the decision (obviously)

Of course. To suggest he's only there to coach what he's given,without having any opinion on whether he thinks he's any good, is curious to say the least.

Assuming people are using the right data metrics (and I’ve no reason to think they’re not), it stands to reason we won’t be signing Ramsdale if we want to credibly say we are a data based recruitment club.

that said, I don’t think we’re anywhere near as data based as we “sold” we would be originally.

Yes I agree that’s not what I meant though

I’d be surprised if he says go sign this keeper but he absolutely should be asked / involved in the signing of a goalkeeper based on advice

Tbf it does look like Ramsdale wouldn't make a whole lot of sense but I think the club clearly see something in him if we are talking about him, who's to say we will actually move for him just yet

I'm sure Patto is like -1.4 and people want him to stay?

It's performance increase per pound spent that we should be looking at. The question for SAFC is whether a keeper improves us sufficiently for the money we'd have to spend to get them here. We don't have much choice other than to trust the club, but its super price dependant for Ramsdale. TBH given the high stakes that there are for spending big on a goalkeeper, its a tightrope whichever way we go. Much harder to reverse out of a keeper mistake than almost any other position.

If we sign him it means the club have overlooked the data for whatever reason. There’s no way they won’t have come up with this same metrics themselves.

If it’s as clear cut as these metrics mean he’s not very good then we won’t sign him.
