You laugh, but the same jokes were being made about xG five years ago, and now look how mainstream that is 😜

Was saying in the boozer on Sunday that need a midfielder with an OBV of at least 2.1 Scouts must have overheard me

Just to make the case for Hackney, because I still think he'd be a fantastic development signing if we have space for one alongside a proper defensive 6 - here's some more high-level stats on him: The things that obviously stand out are a) the...

I mean, bless Tim, but this is apples and oranges. Bottom 1% for progressive passes is not someone you're playing for the same reason as Hackney.

Be very pleased with Hackney partially because I think there's no way we get him and not also a proper steely defensive mid. Thought it was just going to be the latter; both would be amazing.

Agreed, but to be fair, the same goes for an injury to the main striker on pretty much every other non-elite team in the league. I don't think we're in a position to have genuine start-ready quality in depth at striker. Would be nice though I agree!

All good points, I just think Moyes wants options and at the moment I think it feels thin to him to change games in that position. I mean an injury to Barry would leave us in a very bad place.

For what though? To take away development minutes from our already-good-enough (for our purposes this season - we aren't challenging for trophies) young striker? Sorry if this comes across argumentative, I promise it's just the difficulty of...

Very impressed with him at the weekend.

We bought a very good young one at the start of the window at a price that other teams are now looking at enviously in retrospect.

How dare you ruin my day. Thought he'd be absolutely perfect for us.

Boyhood blue aswell which is always nice

Why is everyone talking about attacking midfielders and number 10s when the positions we need are DM, RB and perhaps another wide player. I just can’t see us bidding for Paqueta or Gallagher or Bowen when we have Ndiaye Grealish Dibling Alcaraz...

Was it an actual link as in we're interested btw? What did he say?

This is a good link. That's the kind of 6 we need I think.
