John P Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Saw a tweet by Ted Knutson (guy who worked as 'head of player analytics' at Brentford) where he showed a chart explaining how Riviere was consistently seen as a good talent from the age of 20, and his stats suggested he would become a good player, but it just didn't work out. It's obvious that he's been a massive failure here, but it seems he was rated by certain people who know their stuff when he was younger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 From the Chron. Surely not: Meanwhile, Riviere has been linked with a move to Osmanlispor with a £5million fee mooted for his services. We would be lucky to even get 5p for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 If any of you fuckers have jinxed this or put off the buyers (don't listen to them, Rivs is a top top player, check his goals Vs Palace!), I swear to god... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprising, supposedly our transfer targets were being selected using a subscription to analytics software, with Carr rubber stamping the conclusions.

steve_69 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Obviously it's a massive part of the game but if he could sort out his finishing and composure he'd be a decent striker. His movement has never been in question and he's got reasonable pace but in front of goal his arse falls out. Hopefully he can resurrect his career somewhere else, ideally somewhere where he gets more time on the ball. It was a gamble that didn't pay off on our part. Win some, lose some.

Yeah agree, he just needs a lower standard of football and to be under less pressure to perform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I wonder who invented that analytics program that could forecast a potential superstar striker without taking finishing into account? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 From the Chron. Surely not: Meanwhile, Riviere has been linked with a move to Osmanlispor with a £5million fee mooted for his services. 5mil for Rivière would be the best deal since we swindled Crystal Palace into paying us for Pardew.
