I’ll be honest, I’ve never really actually noticed Schar’s aerial weakness… not enough for it to be an obvious problem in our team anyway.

I think it was previously more noticeable.  He’s more aggressive these days in the air. And the way we defend and how other teams attack has changed. But I would still want his defensive partner to be better than him at it.

Embarrassing for you to admit publicly that you don't know ball

A lack of updates can only be a good thing.

 

It either means that there isn't much in this and we're working on other stuff, or Parish and his agent are serious about our interst and aren't briefing the media every day to flush out other suitors.

I don't give a fuck about the amount we spend on any player, as long as we get what we need to improve the team, that's all that counts.

 

Really, really hope we can get this one done asap.

I suspect that if we have a(nother) disappointing season, some combination of Isak, Bruno, and Gordon are off. We won't be able to keep them. Any of them leaving would settle any PSR issues we might have, but at the cost of a huge step backwards for the team.

 

So we might as well strenghten regardless of cost to make us a team capable of keeping Isak, Bruno, and Gordon. If this means likely PSR issues, Champions League and one fewer star player due to a PSR-driven sale would be preferable to no Champions League and star players agitating to leave due to no Champions League.

Basically. @KaKa debuted the phrase on here in 2011, according to the search function. But more popular since 2020.

Stats nonces use it to pretend they've watched someone play.

It’s the antithesis to stats noncery, surely? As an example, a player who’s got a lot of greens on his fbref but looks like a donkey when you actually watch him play “doesn’t pass the eye test”.

 

But yeah @Troll it’s just shorthand for what the player looks like when he’s playing. Fairly harmless.
