[Football] Welbz is injured.

[Uh_huh_him]

Brilliant post. It does make you wonder if there’s been some kind of moneyball decision or edict from above. I guess they would never discuss this but would be fascinating to know.

Strikers are clearly a very difficult position to recruit for. Anyone who’s any good will be wanted by many clubs who will bid huge money. So our best options are veterans, young unproven talent and players from lesser leagues.

That said I like the model of players like Nunez, Gonzalez. Young exciting forwards forging a reputation. Give them the platform of the PL and if goes well we can sell for enormous profit. The main obstacle appears to be getting them to join.

Unfortunately Tony's ex-colleague seems to have the moneyball algorithm for strikers.
Sold 2 in 2 seasons and still ended up with the championship golden boot winner.

My apologies, I didn't realise there were two posters taking the same stance!

But you can say the same about all positions and areas on the pitch from goal keeper, defence and midfield to the forward line.

Yeah you can, but imo up front more so than any other position (maybe followed by CB, due to having a good consistent pairing and GK).

Can we please never ever call him 'Welbz' again? It's BEYOND embarassing. Cheers

Just for you!
