jammie82uk Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 Just read this from the link rob tweeted found it a very interesting read Not that we will ever know but would love to know who the short list was
Bert Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 This is great insight, also nice of them to give al of our ideas away!
Lesta Legend Posted 19 August 2014 Posted 19 August 2014 This is great insight, also nice of them to give al of our ideas away!Doubt we're giving much away though, statistical analysis in sport is widely used and within the articles he describes what essentially happened in the film money ball - in the states they call it sabrenomics. Encouraging our management team is setup in this way..
Dan Posted 19 August 2014 Posted 19 August 2014 Very good read. Is it true Leckie was one of them? Sounds pretty feasible actually as he fits the bill. Wouldn't be shocked if we were to go for him again if that's anything to go by. They do something very right though. Mahrez at the price we got him for is absolutely fantastic business. I seriously do wonder what sort of side he'll be playing for in five years.

demon_dog Posted 19 August 2014 Posted 19 August 2014 And I thought all scouts did was rub two sticks together and play with their toggles!

Haydos Posted 19 August 2014 Posted 19 August 2014 Are players contract dates widely available to clubs?
Babylon Posted 19 August 2014 Posted 19 August 2014 Just read this from the link rob tweeted found it a very interesting read Not that we will ever know but would love to know who the short list was You could see all the players in the list on the scouting report held by Steve Walsh in the behind the scenes video last year.

Mark_w Posted 19 August 2014 Posted 19 August 2014 Don't know if this was posted on here at the time, but quickly googled him and found this. http://www.optasportspro.com/about/optapro-blog/posts/2013/blog-rob-mackenzie,-head-of-technical-scouting-at-leicester-city.aspx

OzFox Posted 20 August 2014 Posted 20 August 2014 Matthew Leckie was one of the wingers. Leckie's good, but from what I've seen he's not in the same class as Mahrez
