Me too. You'd think a multi millionaire could afford a wedding planner who can spell.

Stop using stats…. Adama fans don’t believe in stats, they only believe that fuzzy feeling that he gives them and the getting their ass off their seat is the only metric for a good premier league playerYour earlier post in my opinion is a misrepresentation of the stats. It bothered me enough that I felt the need to check myself and disclose them on a broader scale.
Adama has actually played a total of 7196 minutes for Wolves in the league.
The all important factor in this comparison though is the minutes/goals ratio and or minutes/assists ratio
Premier League Only:
Traore: 123 apps for 7196 mins
7196/8 Goals————7196/13 Assists
899.5mins/Goal———553.5mins/Assist
Podence: 59 Apps for 3447 mins
3447/6 Goals————3447/6 Assists
574.5mins/Goal———574.5mins/Assist
And why not go a step further and factor in all other wolves appearances.
Traore: 154 Apps, 9121 mins, 11 goals and 18 assists
829.1 mins/goal——506.7 mins/assist
Podence: 68 Apps, 3964 mins,10 goals and 8 assists
396.4 mins/goal——495.5 mins/assist
So the stats do show that overall in actual fact, Podence has scored goals for Wolves at near on double the rate of Traore and assists are virtually level. So I’d argue he does have a much much better end product.
For Nunes and Guedes? All day long.Folk on here would genuinely sell RAN and Podence? the delusion is next level
Would rather sell both of them than Neves any day of the week of it raises the funds for the rebuild.Folk on here would genuinely sell RAN and Podence? the delusion is next level
It could be argued that traore, although not as productive, creates space for other players as he is constantly double/ triple marked and therefore pulling away defenders. We as a team are not very good at exploiting that though and it would never show up in the underlying stats.Premier League
21/22
Podence 0.30 g+a per 90
Traore 0.07 g+a per 90
20/21
Podence 0.27 g+a per 90
Traore 0.14 g+a per 90
19/20
Podence 0.31 g+a per 90
Traore 0.45 g+a per 90
It's obvious. Last season pod was more than 3 times better, season before 2 times better and the season before that - in Traores best ever season - podence had 2/3 what traore did.
If we can get 19/20 traore back great but I don't think we will.

But we scored more goals last season when adama was in the squad but sat on the bench.It could be argued that traore, although not as productive, creates space for other players as he is constantly double/ triple marked and therefore pulling away defenders.

We've got a lot on the line and clearly Jeff has thrown in the towel if that's the standard were signing.Bob the kitman on a 6 year deal, hes using ariel nowadays not aldis own detergent.

The problem with using the double/triple marking of him as a fact is that it’s a bit of a misnomer.It could be argued that traore, although not as productive, creates space for other players as he is constantly double/ triple marked and therefore pulling away defenders.

Bang onThe problem with using the double/triple marking of him as a fact is that it’s a bit of a misnomer.
No team actual double or triple marks him because they don’t have to. What they do is get the 2/3 men to him asap after he gets the ball. They can do this because he predominantly takes the ball to his feet when he’s static, due to his lack of movement.
In theory, this could still produce ‘space’ for others - but that would require Adama to be able to pick/find the pass, which we know is his weakness. His interplay isn’t of the standard that exploits that particular aspect, his default is to try and beat those 2/3 men an **** a cross in (mainly a bit of scattergun fashion).
Nuno (and his coaching team) failed to get him to do any different, and so seemingly has Lage (and his coaching team). Maybe it is a coaching issue, maybe it’s Adama not being able to do anything other than what he does.
His stats are his stats, and do highlight his weaknesses and ineffectiveness - what his stats will never show is the bum out the seats excitement that one of his runs produces.
I'm sure Bob will have that towel nice and fluffy with the new detergent, he won't recognise it.We've got a lot on the line and clearly Jeff has thrown in the towel if that's the standard were signing.
Good point, I was just trying to highlight stats don’t tell the whole story, he’s one of the best dribblers in the league on stats but also not very productive with it.The problem with using the double/triple marking of him as a fact is that it’s a bit of a misnomer.

Can see it now. Poor old Jeff about to be put through the wringer again.We've got a lot on the line and clearly Jeff has thrown in the towel if that's the standard were signing.
Is there a You Tube montage?I've heard Bob is very well respected behind the scenes. Brought a more modern stats based approach to garment cleaning and made some impressive marginal gains on grass stain removal.
Another example of Fosun sports washingCan see it now. Poor old Jeff about to be put through the wringer again.
I can’t see that on his twitter? The only times he’s mentioned Nunes was at the start of May in relation to Man City interest?I don’t know how to post tweets or Facebook stuff but Romano saying we are struggling to agree personal terms with Nunes.
If you want the best, you have to pay, otherwise shop in a cheaper place.
Couldn’t care less as long as they are not airing their dirty laundry in public.Another example of Fosun sports washing
Someone somewhere had mentioned personal terms were already agreedI don’t know how to post tweets or Facebook stuff but Romano saying we are struggling to agree personal terms with Nunes.

I think the difference is that Citroens never turn into Rolls, no matter how well you maintain them. The sell to buy model is based on finding a player who is better than he is currently rated, or one who you can develop into better. The car analogy doesn't work.I have never really understood the “sell to buy idea”……Unless, you have a very shrewd recruiting team/business team.
Yes, I can see how it can improve squad depth and perhaps the overall average ability but ultimately you can only start with 11 and barring unforeseen problems, they will play the bulk of the game.
What I am saying is, that if you sell your Rolls Royce and spend the money on 2 Citroens, then the only advantage you have gained is that you have 2 cars (of lesser quality) instead of 1, isn’t it? A year later, sell the Citroens and buy 4 Robin Reliants (some would say that is an upgrade lol) and you now have 4 cars instead of 1 but look how the quality has dropped.
This is why, as I stated at the beginning, unless you are extremely shrewd, this policy leads to a greater depth perhaps but the quality is slowly being watered down.
If you sell your prize assets, you still have to replace them with better, for the same cash, to make it work and I can’t think of many instances in the past, where a top player has been sold and an even better one brought in with the money (though there could be a lot I have forgotten admittedly, over the years).
Ah, but after missing out on Moore, we lack that aerial prowess…We've got a lot on the line and clearly Jeff has thrown in the towel if that's the standard were signing.
It's a good analogy, but instead of buying the actual car, it's more like buying a job lot of parts . You hope in time that you can assemble a better car than the one you sold. There are no guarantees. For every box of Rolls Royce parts there are more boxes of cunningly disguised skodasI have never really understood the “sell to buy idea”……Unless, you have a very shrewd recruiting team/business team.

Didnt William Shakespeare say that; i am sure i have seen that quoted on the interweb!Someone somewhere had mentioned personal terms were already agreed
Moral of the story... don't believe everything on the Internet.
It’s definitely on Facebook around 30 mins ago.I can’t see that on his twitter? The only times he’s mentioned Nunes was at the start of May in relation to Man City interest?
Wolves offering a bag of scratchings again.
I guess the trick is to replace your worn in but still pristine Roller, with a couple of Citroen Relays who your mechanics can upgrade to camper vans and sell for huge profits.I have never really understood the “sell to buy idea”……Unless, you have a very shrewd recruiting team/business team.
