Confirmed Transfer Caleb Okoli

[City Fan]

And If you really want to be a pedant, he's played 84 games in the PL, not two. For reference, I'll include Faes' stats as a comparison:

JV: 63% tackle win ratio / WF: 61%
JV: 5.2 clearances per game / WF 4.1
JV: 4.6 recoveries per game / WF 5.2
JV: 2.8 accurate long balls per game / 2.6
JV: 46.3 passes per game / WF 56.6
JV: 3.3 ariel duals won per game / WF 1.9
JV: 4 goals scored / WF 2
JV: 1 error leading to a goal / WF 2
JV: 0 own goals / WF 2

His stats stack up.

Like I say, these types of stats are actually difficult to read anything into really without contextualisation but if you are going to continuously pursue this one-upmanship that you so desperately seem to need then at least try to make sense and attempt to converse with reason instead of being so bent out of shape, upset and cross by any negative reference to Mr Cooper for some strange and indecipherable reason.

He has played just 12 premier league games in the past 4 years. There’s a reason for that.

Why do you keep giving us meaningless stats, if as you rightly say, they’re a load of bollocks anyway?

I think the answer here is that neither are the answer.

 

[Micky]

Mads
Okoli, Vesty, Faes
Ricardo, Winks, Skipp, Justin
Fatawu, Vardy, Mavididi

But then you're leaving out Buonanatte, which doesn't feel right.

Which would be absolutely insane.

Maybe SC can take a leaf from Claudio’s footprint when he brought in Simpson and Fuchs for De Laet, and Schlupp.

That doesn't change the numbers.

He wasn't in the PL for one of those.

He's been injured this season as he was in his last season at Saints.

I said that stats needed contextualising before they have meaning; if you bother to do that, you'll see his stats do indeed, stack up very well against other PL CBs.

Good contribution as always though.

You know, a leaf out a footprint. You thick or summat?

Don't they just. A little reverse thrust usually throws them out though.

I don't know why this sounds euphemistically dirty; like prison lingo.

It just does.

Homer, is this in your phrase book?

Total shitwank

Yep.

He's looked ****ing awful for most of the time he has played.

I've given him.the benefit of the doubt up until now because he's made some decent challenges but he's just completely ****ing clueless about positioning. Faes has spent most of this season covering for him and so when Faes goes to shit like he did tonight, we are pretty much left with no CBs at all.
