We underestimate the adjustment/time that will be needed (see also: Jamie Vardy), which makes it mad to pin our hopes on this guy. Hoping we get someone a little more proven - probably on loan - otherwise we may have to Moneyball our way to scoring enough goals via all the wingers/attacking mids we have accumulated already. 1

I want half of his last year not his first year.

RowlattsFox Posted 10 August Posted 10 August I'm picturing Osmajic but hopefully without the red cards and racism.

Hoping we get someone a little more proven - probably on loan - otherwise we may have to Moneyball our way to scoring enough goals via all the wingers/attacking mids we have accumulated already. Paul DePodesta I think it was who calculated the amount of runs needed by the A's to qualify for the playoffs each year. If he could build a squad with Billy Beane that should on average generate those runs over a season he was happy. The playoffs were too unpredictable for him to reliably analyse (at least at the time). How many goals do we need to make the top 2? Can we acquire enough players to generate the required XG? Interesting way of looking at it though the way Beane and DePosta did it in MoneyBall would be slaughtered on here as they were happy to sign vets for their final decent season, players deemed unfashionable or unusual players with specific USPs. Basically think Pearson picking up Gray Taylor-Fletcher and Phillips on short term deals. They also weren't afraid to sign, see value climb and then immediately offload before having to hand out a contract at market value.
