[Albion] £6 million Bid for Aden Flint Rejected

[Weststander]

We're 8/5 to be relegated - ie, we'll probably be in the PL next year. Bristol are 3-1 to get promoted - ie, they probably won't be.

Or post #156 - Flint waits until May, before deciding. If we stay up, perhaps he'll still join us.

The email to Bristol City seems to end the matter.

I wonder if we're after other CB's?

When playing for Bristol City at The Amex last season, Flint was outstanding and easily the man of the match according to Sky TV (my own MOM too). He may not be as young as Goldson, but I would say he is definately 1 or 2 steps up..

I doubt that to be honest

Very similar situation to Dale Stephens last season, Bristol would be mad to accept anything less than about 15-20m for him at this stage.

Is that how it’s actually done ? Barber fires off an email saying sorry, no thanks. Blimey.

Is Lee Johnson inaccurate in how it really went?

No idea. Just interesting that it’s being done via email.

Exactly. We're now only days away from the deadline so nobody we buy from has much chance of sorting a replacement and we're only going to get players surplus to requirements elsewhere (Ulloa, Mitrovic) unless we can offer players in return (Hemed, Norwood, Goldson on loan) or get a loan in ourselves.

It would be about 500 words more than just "no thanks".

All good WS but is Mawson really better than Dunk - ??

The England manager rates Mawson and Tarkowski more highly than Dunk.

Are they better and we’re irrationally biased towards Dunk through blue tinted specs?

Not a chance, Dunk is much better than Mawson maybe also better than Tarkowski

The stats on clearances, interceptions, blocks etc suggest it's not bias. Tarkowski, Mawson, Dunk & Lascelles should all have been in the frame, but Dunk and Tarkowski should have got the shout.

I would place Dunk behind Mawson but ahead of Tarkowski.in the ability guide.

Yes, but you also placed Hart ahead of Adrian in terms of ability when Hart is statistically the worst keeper in the Premier League by a country mile.

All down to opinions and I noliced that Hart was back in favour for the last game with Adrian dropped.so Moyes has had a rethink.

And how did that work out?

Hang on... are you actually Gareth Southgate?! That would explain A LOT of things

Statistics are not all down to opinions - they are statistics. The return of Hart for West Ham didn't exactly go well either, did it. Presumably you also noticed his absolute howler for the third goal he conceded?

 

[BensGrandad]

I havent watched any of the goals but it could be that he conceded 3 due to the poor defence, I dont know. Do the statistics show whose responsibility the goals were?
