Well, well, well

AC Milan is my top pick but with the window still open for a few days, many of these equations could yet be rebalanced

Just seen that #CrystalPalace will be signing Strand Larsen and Guessand, this certainly means that JPM has found his next club

[Clovis J @c10vis]

The Jean-Philippe #Mateta conundrum: one of the top strikers in the PL has no obvious transfer destinations in a scarce striker market. At peak age, he'll want a big pay day and with the WC looming, minutes are essential. Grading next move options and why he should look in Italy:

@nonewthing @arsenalbarclays The next sentence in the reads "For total xT added, only those two and Erling Haaland are above him."

Possession value models (of which xT is one) have proven to be usefu; with that said, the methodology Opta have applied to measure off-ball runs is suspect.

As @PatrickBVS says, you'll know a striker isn't good if they sign for West Ham.

Of course given all this, I'm sure he'll score today...

[Clovis J @c10vis]

#WestHam are estimated at 81% chance of relegation according to futures markets and their move is to shell out £25m on peak-age Taty Castellanos. Admittedly an improvement on Fullkrug but doesn't do the important things (take good shots) and will be deadweight in the championship

[Clovis J @c10vis]

Not to mention, none of the £45m already spent improves their god awful defense.
