I think we just listen to agents pushing their players rather than actually doing any scouting.

Is he even still alive?
I'm sorry that's an oxymoron
Are you referring to Alex Crook? the Durham wanna londoner who supports United?
I'm alright.
How about, "ignorant but with informed prejudice" ?
His XA90 (which is a far more reliable metric than “chance creation”) is 0.12 - which measures quantity and quality of chances pretty much confirms what many of us are seeing with our eyes. He isn’t creating much of quality on a regular basis. Possibly why he doesn’t always start games and hasn’t got a while.
We’ve got a bunch of players, many of whom most of us bitch about not being good enough, who are all creating more/better quality than he is. Ndombele, Reguilon, Son, Moura, Bergwijn, Kane and LoCelso all have better XA90’s.
Last thing we need is another Moura or Bergwijn bouncing around like a turtle in a windsock.
I have now put all of you on unignore. Clean slate, don't abuse my trust.
(I usually don't quote myself, sorry about that)
Locelso and Bergwin have barely played. Wouldnt count them yet. But Son, Ndombele and Lucas are all similar to Traore in that respect. Only Kane is significantly better at creating .
I did that once. Lasted about a fortnight.
My source was wikipedia. Not saying they're right but, well, that's the fee they quoted.
Yeah. I asked Google. Both figures have been mentioned, as it turns out. Interestingly, The Athletic said that Chelsea's buy-back clause doesn't kick in until 2023. But we needn't let that concern us. Last thing we want is to sign any top-class HG players.
I see Rafa Benítez or Sean Dyche in our future.
Don´t know, but his image rights are!
Haha that’s hilarious…. Sorry guys … you mind if we try another one if your RBs. … this one’s a bit shit
You knew that didn’t ya
So is that buy-back clause automatically transferred to his new clubs if he was sold?Yeah. I asked Google. Both figures have been mentioned, as it turns out. Interestingly, The Athletic said that Chelsea's buy-back clause doesn't kick in until 2023. But we needn't let that concern us. Last thing we want is to sign any top-class HG players.
Good question. I don't know.
And The Athletic can reveal that the terms of the transfer mean Southampton won’t have to start paying the £5 million fee until next summer. It is also understood that Chelsea’s agreed buyback clause does not kick in until 2023. That buyback clause is set at £50 million, although he would actually cost Chelsea around £38 million as they are in line to receive a share of the profit from the player’s next move.
Have Chelsea become Southampton's ideal feeder club?
Tino Livramento, Dynel Simeu and Armando Broja have all arrived on the south coast, so is this the start of a beautiful relationship?
