Maybe @El Presidente can answer (he's probably too busy these days frolicking around on Football Weekly), but do clubs have to pay capital gains tax, or VAT on player sales? For example Cucurella may have been €45m profit on paper, but do we lose a % of that to tax?
He says he plays in midfield and then compares his stats to other left backs. He's in the 99th PERCENTILE for chances created. Yeah no shit, because he's being compared to full backs and there's about 19 of them in the league.
Iran, Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, Russia and possibly China and India piling in. Contra Israel, USA and a coalition of 'Western' nations. The doomsday clock is being updated in a few days, I imagine it'll be closer to midnight than at any time before. It just takes one wrong move by a stupid...
To be fair, Kane was awful when he was 18. Even at 22 he didn't seem like he would play at a high level, then suddenly something clicked. But yes, to say Ferguson is anywhere near Kane's current level is absurd.
Your intuition is a bit off I think. If 10% of our squad have footballing dad's, compared to the national average of 0.001% (or whatever) of people that have footballing dad's, it shows having a footballing dad really does increase your chances of making it professionally by quite a large amount.
