Guest reefatoon Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 He’s one of the last things left involved in and around the club that needs to fuck off. Detest seeing his shite tweets being dragged up. The bloke is a monumental cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) 4 hours ago, Yorkie said: Raphinha vs Diaby (last season) / Diaby was deadly last season; 13 goals and 12 assists beats Raphinha's 11 and 3 comfortably / Diaby scored those 13 from far fewer shots than Raphinha (53/85). This could be to do with the latter's efforts mostly coming from outside the box, unlike the former. / Diaby is a far more accurate passer, completing 74.6% compared to Raphinha's 63.8%. / Where Diaby's chance creation typically comes from in-game passes, Raphinha likes to create from dribbles. He also takes far more set pieces. / Raphinha is easily more comfortable with defensive actions; tackles are 54-19 and blocks are 59-12. He also has a lot more touches in that opposition penalty area (48-6). / Raphinha is competent in the air (40.3% of duels won), but it's not really Diaby's game (26.3%). Summary: Diaby is an out-and-out attacker with the returns to match, whereas Raphinha is a more traditional winger but who likes a dig from range. Raphinha had 6.94 expected assists so his teammates converted chances he created really poorly which isn't a surprise as Bamford was out almost all season. Diaby had 0.59 non-penalty xG+xA per 90 minutes, Raphinha 0.43 (0.60 last year when Leeds were doing better). Leverkusen scored a whopping 80 goals though compared to Leeds' 42. I know almost nothing about Diaby but feel like Raphinha would carry less risk and had a bit of a down year as Leeds were struggling. Edit. TCD made the same comments on the next page.

Guest reefatoon Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 If there were such budget limitations, I’m sure we wouldn’t have went and splurged most of it on 3 defensive signings. We strengthened there in January and offensively is where we need to strengthen now. There is bound to be money available for attacking options. Not believing for a second that we don’t have much more to spend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 It would be strange if we are struggling with our budget that we spent the money on pope instead of making sure we got a RW in first. RW has always been the priority position for me and if we go into a new season with Almiron/Fraser/Murphy starting then we will have had a poor window.

The Prophet Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I don't believe there is a budget limitation, most of the football finance experts seems to think we could drop £150 million to £200 million and it wouldn't touch the sides. It would make absolutely no sense to brief journos and agents that though. It's just funny how adamant Edwards is that its true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 There’s no way we’re struggling for cash. We’ll spend big but we might have to be creative in the financial breakdown of the deal. Be amazed if we don’t spend fairly big on a striker and RW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't listen to any of the reporters as they're usually a lot more wrong than right. I just can't see no investment in at least two areas (I think 3 CF, RW, CM) with a centre forward who has missed 50% of games and a team, that even under Howe struggled to get over 40% possession and not prolific in goals scored.

STM Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 It's about getting good deals as much as anything. I don't think they particularly care how much they spend in total, as long as each deal is worth it. So far, only Wood has been over priced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know about his injury record, but tbf the season before last he managed 28 starts. Point I was making is he is our starting striker IF he is available and you wont convince a player like DCL to come here without the guarantee of starting games which he wont get while Wilson is our no. 9.
