Yep, we were after Tomlin at some point, I seem to remember, and he has been pretty useful to Boro as well. The trouble is other clubs use the same software system so identifying these players is not the problem, making the deal is.
Our problem wasn’t targeting the right player using statistics, it was not being able to complete the deal.
I think the a DOF successes and failures have to be judged on a case by case basis. Some work and some don’t because it is all about personalities at the end of the day. It has worked...
