As long as you take that back about him being more cautious in attack (although maybe the pass completion takes into account that Chilwell was adventurous as ****, but far too shit to pull it off?!?!, nothing more adventurous than passing back to Schmeichel, or a nice adventurous 2m pass to someone in no space)  I'm really going to miss my favourite little scapegoat Chilwell (am I allowed to say that now he's gone?)  I nominate Maddison for next year due to the cov connection, (and the rumours 😱and the see through rucksack) Fear not, JLingz is up to the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black lines are Gosens. xA is the likelyhood he will give an assist when he's on the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 1 September 2020 Share Posted 1 September 2020 Positives: It's a signing Part of an exciting Atalanta team successful domestically and in Europe Versatile - can play both sides, full-back/wing-back Seems reasonably highly rated Only 24 so room for improvement/resale value Already played with a few of our lads Negatives: Seems a hefty fee for a current backup/rotation option in the last year of his contract (apparently, anyway - Sky say he's got a year left but transfermarkt have it down as expiring in June 2022 so who knows) Slight concern that he seemingly couldn't displace either Gosens or Hateboer (who I accept are both very good) Initial feeling is that we probably could have done better but could have done far worse too. Now go and get a winger and a centre back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costock_Fox Posted 1 September 2020 Share Posted 1 September 2020 48 minutes ago, Eden De Bruyne said: This one is for everybody that rather pays double for Gosens than getting Castagne. If you leave the aerial duels out, Castagne is clearly the better player statistically. And how important are aerial duels for a wing back anyway?  I’m sorry but statistically you are missing goals and assists which are more important and Gosens looks much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It are the most relevant statistics for full backs. And xA is how good somebody is in assists, Castagne is better.

Ah I see, normally the player stats shown on here are over a season.  Wouldn't it have been a fairer representation, to give them the same amount of minutes from the same position from the last season before saying one is statistically better than the other, as a players form also massively varies from 1 season to season another. There are too many variables over a players Club career, especially if the player is a known to be a utility player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d happily be proven wrong, however I’m just not feeling it.  I’d rather we’d gone for Telles or Gosens.  I’ve seen a few comments about us overpaying now.  Buy cheap, buy twice.  We've just bought the player who was a back up at Atalanta. The "just sign anyone" brigade will be happy though. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
