FoxFossil Posted 10 July 2023 Posted 10 July 2023 Eye sight not what it was. So we're signing Maldini and Pirlo? 1
Ric Flair Posted 10 July 2023 Posted 10 July 2023 He'd be OK at this level, but wouldn't be the required quality if we go back up. So if this isn't a loan or only a few million then once again it would appear a diabolical transfer. 1
Popular Post Finnegan Posted 10 July 2023 Popular Post Posted 10 July 2023 Left winger, was a bit fringe for Montpellier racking up 14.6 lots of 90 minutes in League and Cup last year compared to Barnes 36.3. That said, he compares like so: He managed 0.27 goals and 0.14 assists for a combined productivity of 0.41 every 90 minutes. In the same period, Barnes scored 0.36 goals but 0.08 assists for a combined 0.44 per 90. Barnes slightly outperformed his xG last year scoring 0.14 goals per 90 minutes more than "expected." By comparison, Mavidi scored 0.02 per 90 less than expected, making Barnes a more reliable finisher. Mavidi is slightly more inclined to shoot, taking 2.53 shots a game to Barnes 2.48 and he's also predisposed to shoot from slightly further out, averaging a shot from 16.8 yards to Barnes 15.9. They have identical expected assists at 0.07 per 90 but Mavidi typically plays more key passes (0.91) per game than Barnes (0.63.) Finally with dribbling, Mavidi had a much higher % of succesful take ons (43.2%) compared to Barnes (29.7%) but Barnes typically carries for further progress in terms of distance despite Mavidi carrying the ball further overall which suggests a lot of dribbling sideways and backwards. And all of this was a massive waste of time because the source is garbage and we're probably not even scouting him. But it's Monday morning and I'm procrastinating already. 12 6
moore_94 Posted 10 July 2023 Posted 10 July 2023 (edited) His stats for the past few seasons, league only Seems like just a pretty average at best winger in the French league, you would hope he would be able to put up better numbers in the Championship 2022/23 - Montpellier finished 12th 26 appearances, 14 starts 1,289 minutes played, 14.3 90s 4 goals and 2 assists Goal contribution every 215 minutes 2021/22 - Montpellier finished 13th 30 appearances, 27 starts 2,315 minutes played, 25.7 90s 8 goals and 3 assists Goal contribution every 210 minutes 2020/21 - Montpellier finished 8th 35 appearances, 23 starts 2,037 minutes played, 22.6 90s 9 goals and 0 assists Goal contribution every 226 minutes Edited 10 July 2023 by moore_94 1

LeamingtonFox93 Posted 10 July 2023 Posted 10 July 2023 Ligue 1/2 wingers always give me Mahrez vibes... until they end up like Paul Gallagher
Finnegan Posted 10 July 2023 Posted 10 July 2023 2 minutes ago, AKCJ said: Does he class as homegrown? Easily. On the books at Arsenal and loaned out to other English clubs for like seven years.

Finnegan Posted 10 July 2023 Posted 10 July 2023 Just now, Happy Fox said: He's born in England, unless Derby is in France Yeah but homegrown status is about playing for English clubs. If he hadn't done three years at an English club before 21 he wouldn't count.

AjcW Posted 10 July 2023 Posted 10 July 2023 Used to be a striker and still should be from what i've seen. Might be that our scouts think the same? Had to deal with his Dad passing away just as he broke through at Juve which I imagine scuppered his development there. Loan would be nice!

I highly doubt we're signing a guy with his stats to play up front while we've got Vardy, Daka and Iheanacho on the books and Piroe apparently being watched. It'll definitely be as a winger if its true which it probably isn't anyway, it's an absolute trash tier source. 1
