That absolutely isn't why Bellingham has left, nor do I think there's much merit in the rest of the post.

yeah pretty much think can accept deals like this just for me really need a quality cm to come in with questions over gana long term. Then garner who needs to up his game and i would say longstaff is on a similar level while we need a cm to...

I don't necessarily disagree, in fact that was kind of my point. If we end up going for Longstaff and paying decent money for him i'll be a bit disappointed because he doesn't really push us forward and i'd feel like there are similar players we...

We'll sign him in 8 days time, 12 days after it became common knowledge across the entire footballing world that he was signing, and people will spend the whole summer saying 'we didn't hear anything at all about Tete, these yanks have stopped...

I can understand people being a bit disappointed with someone like Longstaff - he's not actually good, and he's not likely to get better etc - but I don't really understand some people's insistence that he's absolutely rubbish. He's a decent PL...

It’s also not really ‘risky’ because it’s not a choice we’re making, it’s just the position we’re in.

Don't forget the more games you miss, the better you are than the current starters.

The more games you miss, the less chance you have to get goals and assists. More news as we get it.

Famously the only person to score in an Anfield derby and be married to Madonna.

For me, availability for games is a much more relevant thing to look at and as I said, Tete missed almost double the amount of league games. Having said that, patterns are also important, and if Branthwaite misses 10 games this year then you're...

Fair enough. That’s dead weird because he’s played once for England and Tete has played 14 times for the Netherlands so I don’t really get that one. I won’t be using Transfermarkt for my stats ever again. Branthwaite still did miss the entirety...

The England flag in the link YOU posted is to denote missed England games. Note the lack of Dutch flag in the same link for Tete. Maybe just quit while you're absolutely miles behind for once Mike.

I only counted league games for obvious reasons. Saying that Branthwaite missed more games because he's an international and could potentially have played for England isn't really a fair comparison (or relevant to us) is it?

Fair enough. I was using old school counting methods where 14 was more than 8, but now that you've opened my eyes to the new 'just make it up' method I can see that you're absolutely right.

Anything taken in isolation is a crap data point to be honest, but I'm not going to go and watch 30 90 minutes games to give an in depth analysis of him for the forum sorry.
