Another interesting piece from Football Whispers (clue: don't click if you don't like Football Whispers)

"Andone is a similar stats darling [to Gross].

His 0.49 Expected Goals per 90 minutes puts him 5th in La Liga for 2017/18 and his 0.45xG90 for 2016/17 had him 8th. Seeing this Deportivo de La Coruña player in amongst players from Real Madrid and Barcelona, it’s a wonder it’s Brighton who’s signed him."

Funny that they mention Alireza Jahanbakhsh as the type of player we would likely take a look at.

Looking at Gross stats it appears CH has (surprisingly for some) made Gross a less defensive and more attacking player.

We'd have had a Derbyesque season if PG was with the rest of the team defending.

That's fascinating. I think TB is exactly the sort that looks closely at stats and predicted performance etc. Sign up Cervi on that basis

Not only how do you pronounce that.....but how the hell do you fit that on the back of a shirt?

Mind you making up songs to sing would more than compensate.....

"Give us an A ....."

We'd have to start the song no later than the 81st minute. It would be getting ever more quiet as people start the song, but have a train to catch and can't stay for it all.

Franco Cervi - an Argentinian winger who plays for Benfica, who by some cruel twist of fate, is dwarfed by even Maty Ryan at 5'4"

He's shorter than me!

Sing him up, Barber!

(Never heard of him. Any good? Does he justify a place in the title of this thread given we haven't actually signed him?)

That must make him an Argentinian winger/back up goalie.

What's not to love?


This is now the third BS/clickbaity link between him and the club over the past week.
Something in it or the same 'story' being recycled?

These aren't the players you're looking for.

Blimey, he's got a lower centre of gravity than both Gianfranco Zola and Maradona.
