The stats aren't similar though, at least not the passing ones.

 

The difference between 84% and 78% when realistically every central midfield player going will have pass completion between 70-90% is pretty significant as is 0.8 v 0.5 key passes per game.

 

(As a caveat I've said above that it's very hard to compare a player in a side with players comfortable on the ball with the shambles our lot were for the first 6 months of last season).

We play a totally differently style, Kante had crap passing stats here, at Chelsea they are great.

 

Wish people would stop acting like I'm suggesting he's no good, I'm happy as I think he will have a similar all round contribution like DD.

Hey I've got some info, the club photographer was called to the training ground an hour or so back. Might be planning a pleasant evening showing a slideshow of his holiday, but he has been summoned.

We do play a totally different style, which is why it's a bit silly to read anything at all into those stats, whether it be that they're similar players or not.

In all fairness to Rudkin since he's been director of football we brought in Huth who, arguably, was a massive reason we pulled off the great escape. Then we signed Kante who was instrumental to us winning the league and sold him for a £27 million profit. We just about got every player we wanted last summer, not his problem they mostly flopped, and we signed N'didi who could go on to become a very very good player. Add Maguire to that previous statement too.

I doubt he'll have much to do with finding players, just gets the ones he's told to sign.

He gets some unfair criticism on here, as a fan for many years now our transfers business has never been the best. In an age of instant info fans believe everything they read and when a player signs for someone else they blame Rudkin because he's not come here just because there was a tedious link printed in the Loughborough echo! 

We're rich, but we're not that rich. We can't go and splash £30million on a player when he's worth half of that. We have to get the best deals for the club.

Having looked at hundreds of players around different leagues I can tell you it isn't silly if you interpret them correctly.

 

They still show patterns and can give an indication of strengths and weaknesses.

 

Don't want to take anything from them, then don't. But I'll happily predict that he has a similar all round style to DD.

 

Plenty missing to know what his energy, pace, shooting etc are like. So it's no indicator of success. But it's a positive start if we are looking for someone to take that forward thinking cm role.

Yeah it seems he's got to take pictures of Rudkin closing a deal.

 

Then the club are starting a thread on here to silence 40% of the members.
