Globe Trotter Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Interesting, reinforces the point that chucking huge amounts of money at it won’t necessarily bring you success. Perhaps not signing the likes of Gayle and Gray were a blessing in disguise and using that money to sign younger more unproven talent with potential as well as bringing through more youth players is serving us well. Also clear the players we sign are of a very similar character, no big egos anymore which I think has shown in the excellent team spirit we currently have. Regret lumping money on Stoke to win the league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh1t_ref_again Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Teams with higher transfer fees also comes a much higher wage bill, but the top four are subsidised by the PL, interesting we are the 2nd highest non parachute payment team behind Forest who have spent nearly double us. I suspect we would also be near the top in revenue from player transfers out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I was impressed by Norwich, they signed a lot of free players and some £1 - £1.5 million players and have done brilliantly by it. It's a model we are trying to emulate I guess, in our own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing is it won’t take into account a loan players value. So, Tammy who has scored a bucket full for Villa and helped them get to their league position isn’t included.

Lrrr Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Thing is in the premier league version of this everyone on social media is praising Warnock for doing such a great job with a team that cost £13m compared to everyone else, but he has players like Bobby who cost £10m alone on the bench. This excludes expensive players who aren't part of the most regular 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how we are approaching our task but really don’t see how bringing proven quality, like Gayle , is going to be a bad thing. The widely reported effect on existing players finding more quality in their dressing room is positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Meh. I think we are over achieving based on budget, club size, lack of parachutes etc but not sure that chart is the one that can give a definitive. As already noted, it doesn’t consider loans (and loan fees). It doesn’t consider costly players who aren’t in the first 11. It doesn’t consider that someone could have cost a lot 5 years ago. Most importantly, it doesn’t consider wages - in the case of Bosmans it’s no fee but a bigger wage so the cost ends up being (broadly) similar (or a touch less) over the course of a contract. On that subject, it also doesn’t consider/know how long a fee is paid over. Basically, it’s a nice chart but is so flawed it’s not worth the paper it’s written on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. - No parachutes - Not Big wage payers - Not big fee payers - Not many big fees not in starting XI (I don’t class £1m as big at this level before the Taylor Moore argument starts) - No real Bosmans - 3 loans - however only one of those I expect to be on a significant wedge I think on those factors we’d be expected to be 15th-18th ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 We are over achieving, but this isn’t a particularly effective barometer for establishing it. You could have spent £200m on duds who are sitting on the bench, while playing a first 11 made up of frees, and this chart would show you to be over achieving.

Agree with what you’re saying if someone like Gayle was brought in to complement what we’re doing, but not at the expense of the what we’re doing if that makes sense.

With 'stats' for virtually everything in football nowadays.... A stat and table I'd like to see created would be a stadium supporter noise recorded/decibel level league... Would create a bit of competition between fans and would surely play a part in creating a bit more atmosphere in grounds while reducing some of the 'library' stadiums.... and would be good for football in general (Theres nowhere better to be than Ashton Gate when The Gate is rocking!) Maybe a league standard based on noise recorded from a specific area of each stadium, (the centre spot would be good, or maybe from noise recorders situated in each goal mouth with both levels amalgamated to produce a stadium average?) I'd prefer a centre spot noise detection system personally as that would provide fair and perfect result for all stadiums. It'd be fun and a fan noise stadium rating league would provide endless inter club bragging/banter rights... "We are top of the league, say we are top of the league!'' ? (could include a 'pro rata' per fan rating taking account of crowd numbers to even things up between 'big' and smaller clubs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinapig Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 It's difficult to come up with a satisfactory metric, though I would favour one that takes into the costs of the whole first team squad, including wages and agents fees. Of course another, soft, measure would be to compare to fans' expectations. As I recall, the majority on here would have been happy with a mid table finish. The question is whether to get a meaningful result you should exclude the minority who predict relegation every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean injuries may have ruined him...or at least diminished him. Really not done a lot at Sheffield United- admittedly not a lot of game time but McGoldrick and Sharp pretty hard to shift. Madine perhaps brought something fundamentally different hence his decent impact there. He should definitely be worthy of consideration though.
