This guy is so hard to evaluate because he's played basically in a different position every match. I went and pulled out all the games he played at DM and CM in the 23/24 season to figure out what he does when he plays there (he basically didn't...

Random thought but would be fascinated to know what those inside the club think of Tim. Quietly seems like maybe they rate him more than the fanbase do? We basically never got linked all summer to a high-workrate tackling machine to long-term...

Don't blame the kid for not wanting to suddenly move countries at about 20 mins notice. Wouldn't mind going back in for him at a later date though.

Gave me an absolute heart attack this

In fairness, if they are actually looking into Fort (or anything else), I imagine all hands are on deck for that

It's the position he played in the first part of his career - does not mean it's his natural position. His career took off when he moved further forward for Leicester after Maddison got sold. He's much better further forward.

Id question everything I knew about the world if Moyes played 19 year old spicy attacking fullbacks on both flanks. Be hilarious though.

Somewhat insanely they're actually sauced up this window. Broke the Rohl news first too.

O'Brien and Aznou are a potentially ood pairing imo if Aznou gets up to scratch. O'Brien drop back a bit to make something of a 3 while we're in possession while Aznou pushes right up. Allows to make the most of both players strengths.

It's a bleak prospect but it is one of the biggest issues with PSR. Academy talents are worth so much more as sales than they are as players because they're pure profit. There's been a huge increase in academy players being sold rather than kept...

Brooke Norton-Cuffy sounds like a PG Wodehouse character.

It's...bad. But this feels like a signing where they're not really using event data much perhaps because of positional weirdness. So trying not to read too much into it!

Sunderland getting Leipzig's RB on loan with an option? I'd have taken that!

Same. I kind of hate it but I'm also kind of so curious I want to see how it turns out.

Which, weirdly, the one thing giving me hope about the signing. His numbers are a total mess but he's been played all over the pitch and probably not even in the positions we want to play him in. Maybe our scouts are absolutely convinced that...
