The Unreliable LFC Transfer Rumours Discussion Thread (Part 3)

Bayern Space was the source. This plettiburg was the ITK.

I thought Nunez had a huge xG before we got him. The previous season he had a low xG.

  1. He was low on confidence
  2. Slot didn’t have a use for him.

First two rows his 2 seasons with Benfica. Nothing particularly extraordinary.

His per 90 was more interesting:


Ignore the incomplete rows.

The previous season for Benfica had low xG, then had a breakout with over-performing xG, then we purchased. Thats how I remember it. I’m assuming the green from the chart above is his last season with Benfica.

Yes. The variance is fascinating. It looks like -.20, +.34, -.13, -.24, -.06 in per 90s.

On a lighter note, lol..United lost to Asean All Stars - team assembled yesterday i guess :wink: :wink:
And this is before the game :wink:

Is Ekiteke better than Nunez? Better the devil you know? He feels for £40m than 80!

I thought about putting up the @redalways signal when I saw that :rofl:

It’s even more funny, because we all know that Klopp can’t overrule the data team anyway. We know this because Klopp wanted to sign Brandt and instead they got him Salah against his wishes :+1:

You wanted me, but if you notice, you actually got @Limiescouse instead.

IMO yes he is.

For the non-smokers it might be a slightly jarring sight to see top class athletes lighting up a celebratory stogie.

Just musing out loud, but have we got to the point where smoking a cigar is less frowned on, for a top athlete, than overindulging on a big fat cheeseburger? :thinking:

On a personal note I love to see them letting their hair down a bit and enjoying the moment after a long season of hard work.

I would imagine they will all have summer workout schedules to stay on top of, and when pre-season starts they will be ready to go. But they can’t be robots, and they need to find a way to let off steam.

I assume it’s okay if a Man U player does it? :thinking:

Luke Shaw smokes 40 a day and hits Greggs on the way in, and out, from training.

It hasn’t done him any harm!
