What a guy! Garnacho took time out of his training with Argentina today to take a picture with his biggest fan! Special moment for that guy with a beard.

so much for the unintentional comedy that is Hugo Lloris

 

[TownieDeac]

Struggling to figure out these Havertz Arsenal links, and I like the player a lot.

Yeah, not sure how he makes sense for them and even where he would play.

 

[deacvision7]

i just dont rate Havertz.

at all

ETA: he's a shit Danny Welbeck. and not Man United Welbeck or even Arsenal Welbeck. But a shit Brighton version of Danny Welbeck

 

[deacvision7]

look! holy shit.
I was more dead on that I even thought!

 

[deacvision7]

great!

walk. away.

 

[deacvision7]

no no NO NO NO NO NO NO
Please God no
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO



love that player. don't need him and Bruno G tearing up PL midfields for an entire season. Ugh

He's been rough recently but damn, it was nice having him between the sticks over the past decade.

yeah i should have clarified with Current hugo Lloris

 

[deacvision7]

aka the only Hugo Lloris that Windy has known

nah...i watched some internationally previously and the occasional PL match over the years. I knew him when he was legit

 

[deacvision7]

reports coming out that EtH is "okay" with pulling out of any deal for Harry Kane as Levy isn't willing to play ball and sell his captain, instead thinking he can get him to agree to a contract extension, I guess

honestly, that's ok with me. Kane is good but this isn't United in 2012 when signing a 30 year old proven striker is all the club needed to win the League.

 

[Gooner]

I don’t really know what to make of the Havertz links either, but it sounds like this one is Arteta-centric and he has been spot in with guys he likes the last few windows (White, Ødegaard, Zinchenko/Jesus, even Trossard), so I’m willing to let it play out rather than immediately scoff. But it is weird.

 

[deacvision7]

bruh
Ben White is a mediocre player. I like the other guys tho...even if Gabby Jesus misses more chances than you'd like from your top #9.

ETA for reference:

 

[WindyCityDeac]

how much of these color graphs you post are influence by what a manager is asking a player to do? any or is it just raw data with zero context?

 

[TownieDeac]

It’s all raw data but the context is always against the same position players from the top 5 European leagues, so there’s at least that. System takes away a lot from interpreting the data but it at least tells you about raw tools.

I think Ben White was an overpay but he’s good imo.
