    Deciding the best squad based on transfermarkt values

    Just look at this shite:



    So unbelievably average. There's about 3 genuinely class players in the whole squad.

    It's generally a pretty good way of judging squad strength at a glance tbh, won't find many leagues where it misleads you. Plenty has been written on it.

    I don't follow it particularly closely but that looks a very good Serie A side to me.

    Tbh I don't know how good Juventus were last season because I didn't watch as much of them as you, but your argument seems to be that a player scoring lots of goals in a shit team means they will score even more goals in, and improve, a good team. I don't know if that is the correct proposition, or whether it's true.

    Interestingly though it looks like Celtic look to be signing Giorgios Giakoumakis who was top scorer in the Eredivisie last season at VVV-Venlo who got relegated, so that will be another data point for our study.

    Just looked up this Emmerson Royal lad because of the name.

    "He got his nickname "Royal", as his uncle said he resembled the mascot of the Royal-branded gelatin dessert in Brazil."

    Badass.

    -James- always seems to talk sense about football. I remember him donning Yev during one his 'episodes' in the Euros.

    i.e. the man speaks facts.

    You speak like a 13 year old with a GOAL subscription so I'd be careful with this line of argument.

    You appear to have discovered reddit and thought you could wade over here as someone who has uncovered the Rosetta Stone of football discourse, like we're all plebs because we don't have Fabrizio Romano phone alerts. It's very easy to antagonise.

    It's possible for me to read Reddit without getting all my opinions from there, although I understand it's an easy, lazy jab to throw instead of posting any kind of actual argument. Yes I will sometimes post what fans of X club think of a player who plays for them rather than lying like Waff and pretending I watch 30 games a season of Atalanta.

    You actually do just directly post other people's opinions or findings of research papers and have zero to say yourself, interesting or otherwise.

    In terms of who watches more football, I don't know, it's not a competition, but it's a strange comment from someone who posts about five times as much on football transfers than they do on actual football, suggesting you're far more into the soap opera of it.

    RL, some Asian chap has joined arsenal. The fact I've announced this and you haven't has made me worry for your welfare.

    James probably watches the most football on this board by a fairly comfortable margin, so some odd comments from RL on this page.

    Ronaldo's dropped from God tier during his time at Juventus but he's still an improvement on all of United's current options. Query exactly how much of an improvement but I'm just buzzing to have him back in the Prem.

    If we can't have Messi then Ronaldo will do.

    Spikey donning himself up the rectum like pegger his is.

    Note that the RL quote states "trying". My post states he "has joined". Completely different. Poles apart.
