    They must have a weird formula for calculating their records. ;ok

    72/17 = 4.23
    183/50 = 3.66
    48/16 = 3

    Which ever way you look at it......

    On 'appearances'.

    But as Aslef pointed out, Rondon's goal stats look less impressive if you compare by pitch time.

    And from that same site:

    Shooting Accuracy.

    Rondon 28%
    Carroll 33%
    Sakho 35%


    Carroll also outscores the others in 'passes per match'.

    The quality of AC is never in question....
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    AC ability to get on the pitch on a regular basis is though!

    So Payet asks to leave us, his value drops

    Arnautovic asks to leave Stoke and his value goes up

    Difference is Stoke don't want or need him to go whereas we had to get rid quick or risk total disharmony. Payet went on strike but Arnie didn't.

    Shane Long has taught Rondon all he knows about lack of skill in actually putting the ball in the net.

    Id be happy with Arnautovic + Gray to go with Antonio Lanzini Ayew + Carroll when he feels up to playing. If Sakho's heads on and he wants to play for us I'd also be happy to give him another chance (when his body also decides it has some playing time in it) Also, I'd be fine with Feghouli staying as I think getting rid of him is premature (again unless he wants out)

    Last season there were 7 games where conceding 1 less goal would have meant a draw (+7 points) and 7 where it would have meant a win (+21 pts)

    We were around 15 goals worse off than our previous average.

    2 more points would have moved us from 11th to 8th.

    17 more would have taken us to 7th.

    I think it is fair to say that last year we suffered more from not having a solid defence than missing fit strikers

    The same results would have been achieved by scoring one more goal.

    How many games did we have where our strikers did not score?

    Ah the old Kevin Keegan philosophy ;wink.

    You left out what I think is the most telling stat:
    Last season we scored 47 and we were 11th in goals scored (= table position) but 6th worst in goals against (64)

    The year before we were 5th with goals scored (65 - finished 7th) and 10th in GA (51)

    14-15 We were 13th in GF (44 - finished 12th) 14th in GA (47)
    We let in far more goals than we had in previous seasons.

    Paper talk this morning is that the Hart deal is nearly done, with Citeh paying half his wages, and a permanent option at the end of the year, possibly for £10m.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    That'll be nice.
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    £10 million is a great price.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    IF that were the deal, AND he signed at the end of the season, then I'd definitely say that was a result.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Those terms, and if he commits to staying, would go a long way to assuage my worries.

    Even if we don't keep Hart, whoever we have lost out of Randy and Adrian would not be difficult to replace next summer.

    They're pretty average goalkeepers IMO.

    ;hmm

    DG has this morning re-tweeted an article that says Bilic believes signings are 'pretty close'.

    A subtle hint as to what today may bring...?

    I would 'assume' that the contract being discussed would cover this seasons wages, next seasons wages should we retain him, the loan fee and the final transfer fee.
    Hart has 2 years left on his contract so the purchase price would reflect the 1 year remaining. I also believe that City won't be punitive with Hart reflecting the service he has given them and the fact they are getting rid of him.
    Once he signs (?) he would be ours to decide upon his immediate future and also I don't see £100k being an issue.

    Get it done.

    Striker please
  • Ace of ClubsAce of Clubs
    If we sign Hart on loan for a year and he proves he's worth the wages he wants then sign him, if he does not, then don't sign him. To me it's that simple but then many people think I'm simple anyway.
  • mikemike
    Never mind about hart we need STRIKERS.
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    Improve the biggest problem first, which is defence and defensive organisation.

    Then look for strikers.

    Owners doing an excellent job so far.

    Or do both simultaneously....
