I don't think he even likes himself.

It is a bit strange. Especially with these new posters that come out of nowhere and are so deeply offended when I go a bit extreme with my analysis.
There's also a misconception that I'm negative about every transfer in when most of the time I'm happy.

There was a podcast recently with Gervais and Bill burr and Bill was saying that he had friendship groups in Boston that just gave each other nasty sh1t all day everyday... Gervais wasn't getting it either. I have some friends like that, deep down we love each other but all we do pretty much every time we see each other is abuse each other and not in a friendly way !!

You're friends with Cashin then, are you? Or 'GASHin', as you would probably (hilariously) call him?

This desxribes most of my bloke-only WhatsApp groups.
Seriously though if cashin can't handle that then he should probably just find himself a nice 30k a year office job. I'm sorry but hurty words comes with the territory of being a footballer. I won't be deleting any posts for snowflakes.
In that half season with us he probably earned enough to retire on. Despite playing very very badly for 20 minutes. In addition he has a 5 and a half year contract , even if he's on a modest 30k a week epl salary that contract is worth 5.7 MILLION POUNDS.

Ah the old he earns lots of money so it’s alright to be abusive argument.

Always chuckle to myself when someone uses the term snowflakes in a non ironic way. Usually says a lot.

I’ll give you Locadia, but FFS!! Cashin’s only played two games, give the guy a break.

The thing about the algorithm and the moneyball principles is that it identifies aspects that aren’t visually obvious - if they were then it’d be pointless. Also, it identifies how such less obvious or less spectacular skills can synergise with other strengths in the team.
Although Cashin did nothing in his 20-30 minutes playing time to suggest he’s worth the money, it’s a vanishingly low sample time and the value of the transfer needs to be reassessed after he’s had a few games alongside something akin to our first-choice back 4.
For those that haven’t read it and are a bit geeky with stats etc., the moneyball book is an excellent read. The film is good entertainment but it doesn’t do the science behind it justice.
would any bloke care about being called gashin or something similar. Bit melty to think they would

It's just a tad churlish and unnecessary is all

I did laugh at Gashin, I'm afraid. While Dwayne is quite often wrong he is quite funny.

Some may take it as a compliment, 'Drowning in Gashin', for example.

sooo .... Kostoulas ... getting announced this week you think?
Hope so. It is a gamble but You can’t doubt the intentions of the club - recruiting top young talent from around the world.
If Pedro goes, we will survive.
What a time to be alive for an Albion fan.
