Pretty much my thoughts. Gila would have been my 1st choice instead of Boscagli. But a free transfer or a €50m signing, I can definitely see the clubs point of view. Boscagli pinging 50 yard balls for Minteh to chase does sound exciting.

Over on the JP Van Hecke thread I posted about a report I got Gemini to do on the 4 CBs we appear to be looking at this summer, Olivier Boscagli Pietro Comuzzo Diego Coppola Mario Gila The Ai report it generated was pretty impressive. It trawlled 27 websites and create a piece of research the...

That's a shame. There are probably 100 players in the Premier League who can smack a ball that hard. It's special goal, but fairly common. How many could score a goal like Mitoma's?

The audio report is taking forever to compile, but this guy would be my pick of the bunch, mainly because he's pacey. Here is the section of the report on Mario Gila. He demonstrates high composure on the ball and shows a strong inclination to carry the ball out from the back, actively...

So these are the players we've been linked with (or signed in Boscagli's case.) I got Gemini to run a full report on the four of them. I'll give the hot takes first. Boscagli and Gila are ball playing CB's very much in the Lewis Dunk mold. Comuzzo and Coppola are warriors much like JPVH. Our...

He looks like he's got pace and has obviously bulked up a bit this season, now starting to look like a bit of a unit and obviously knows how to finish. He'll do well on the wing for us, but may also have the presence to play as a no.9.

Me too, but he played a blinder away to PSG.

Yeah, the first report I got said Wieffer made a good initial start, so I went back and ask it to check its answers by using match ratings from sofascore.com as a reference. But that too could be subjective. It's safe to say though that Wieffer has definitely got better as the season progressed.

I've used AI to run a report to find empirical evidence if more players struggle than don't when adapting to Brightons midfield role. As expected Wieffer has struggled but is in good company in doing so. Brighton Midfielders Initial Performance Report (2010–2025) Overview Analyzed match ratings...

I doubt he's a permanent right back, he's too good a centre midfielder. I guess he's being used at right back, firstly because he's shown he can play there and we were a bit short in that position, but mainly to gain some confidence in a part of the field where his mistakes are less pivotal...

I can see defences pushing right up into the opposition half, and slow defenders at this level becoming a thing of the past. The advantage given to attackers will be massive, so much so that it will probably lead to new and original formations.

That's a silly statement. Last season in the Premier league he played the same number of games as João Pedro and scored 11 non penalty goals and made 8 assists. Joao Pedro scored 5 non penalty goals and made 3 assists. This season he's played half the amount of minutes of João Pedro, and has...

He's slowly building in confidence, and believing that he's good enough to play at this level. Here's a reminder of what a confident Matts Wieffer looks like and what we paid the big money for.

Never say never. European football, PSR and João Pedros inability to play number 9 will all have some impact on ours, and other clubs need, appeal and ability to sign a player who has already put his career ahead of playing for a big club once already.

Just had some brought back as a gift, very underwhelming. Pistachio paste wrapped in chocolate that tasted like it came off of an own brand choc ice. Never trust chocolate bars from hot countries, there's a reason central and south Americans prefer to drink it and northern Europe is the...
