Super Super Quality Transfer Speculation & Shit

[Cripps_orig]

It really is

Football is a simple game made complicated by endless stats about worthless shite

So many people on here over-think things going on about tactics and strategies and god knows what else.

Put the ball in the back of the net, simples

And Modric doesnt do that or isnt directly involved in any of that enough times for him to be rated as highly as he is

[Özim]

He assists the assister and that counts double!

i don't think any of that is complicated - it just highlights that he is a deep lying midfielder that really makes his domestic or international side tick. i know for sure that spurs lose a hell of a lot when he is not playing.

i don't think he is worth the reported transfer fees but then again who really is.

He isnt deep lying when he plays for Spurs. Hes played as their creative midfielder with Parker holding and Lennon and Bale flopping on the wings. Doesnt do much to justify his hype

[Cripps_orig]

Lol, so you never actually played football then? A well organised team of eight could beat the shit out of eleven disorganised. If you've ever player against even a semi pro you know how much more there is to it than just kicking the ball around.

I think you have misunderstood me

those stats might say something different about his position

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Just to recap...
Podolski confirmed 11million
Likely signings...Giroud 12million and M'Vila 17million

And we are trying to sell (or give away)
Arshavin
Bendtner
Vela
Denilson
Fabianski
Park
Chamakh
Squillacci

Anyone else?

Waiting on Van Persie, Walcott and Song to re-sign as they enter their final year right?
Not much has changed over the past 2 weeks has it? When did the window open again?

The signings I would like to make...would include...
Modric
Lewandowski
and Vertonghen

cant see much problem in selling bendtner because he's actually decent. maybe if wenger played him in the right position half the time we'd actually get something out of him like denmark have. he'll easily find a club.

some idiot in brazil will make a bid for denilson so i think he'll fuck off.

someone stupid enough in france will think chamakh is still technically good enough to contribute so i think we can find a club for him.

arshavin will easily find a new club.

vela's on fire in spain so no problems there either.

someone with the brain cells of a hamster will make some sort of move for squillaci, most probable destination is france.

i think we'll be able to get rid but wages might provide a sticky. lets pray for the best

i can never quite tell when you are being serious.

anyway, i used to wander what the fuss was about modric. now stats in isolation can be misleading sometimes but this fairly comprehensive set gives a good idea of what luka is all about:

out of curiosity, what does 'chances created' technically mean and how do they calculate it? it seems quite ambiguous and wishy washy. not sure what counts as a 'chance'.

[Cripps_orig]

Pretty much

Modric is a poor mans Hleb. Hleb did nothing Modric isnt doing right now. He rarely scored or assisted for us but im sure his stats would have been impressive in that list TT posted.

no idea - i'm sure you can find it somewhere through opta
