    I’m not saying that. I’m saying that it’s an indication of where we are, that the sum of whatever we got for Crankshaw, still didn’t bolster our budget, or was used on setting up a scouting network that should have been funded independently years ago.

    Where did you read this all I've heard is that we definitely will be able to spend the Crankshaw money

    Which either we’ve done by paying the scouts or Robinsons/Lavarys wages.
    Hope you’re right and I’m wrong!

    We signed the great Robinson/Lavery connection long before we sold Crankshaw who we sold after the window shut

    Don't think that money went on scouts either think both Sparks and Adams have said separately we can spend that money and any other money the club brings in

    When you were at school, football boots doubled as cricket boots and were dubbined leather. ☺☺☺

    How about the wind and rain (xWR) in the players faces? How do our statistics compare on that?

    Clueless.

    there’s two different things going on here.

    if you are questioning the use of xG in football jog on. That’s not even up for debate. Its ubiquitous these days.

    if you are debating why city are shit and not performing as well as our numbers suggest we should (and they reinforce observations that anyone with a functioning pair of eyes can see….we dominate most games but lack a cutting edge) that’s a completely different matter.

    i’m wasting my time replying either way.

    We improved the squad last January. Cook, Canavan, Rowe, Crankshaw, Vernam.

    we can improve the squad again.
