Vini inexplicably tops list of ex-Prem players in demand

As per thread title.

Can only assume the "journalist" who wrote this has experienced a visit from the Prince's goons, who are paying menacing visits to those in the media to persuade them to write favorable pieces on Souza to up the price we get for him.

Also on the list are Hamer, Arblaster and Berge (who is described as a "towering presence", which is accurate, so long as he isn't jumping)

Relegated players who will be targets for Premier League clubs this summer

Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United are returning to the Championship, but some of their players deserve to stay up

‘And Whilst his distribution needs refining…’
Oh yeah, just a couple of tweaks and he’s the next Xavi Alonso our Vini.

To think someone might give us a 7 figure free for a lump of footballing poison would be the exact kind of good news the fans need.

'Battler'

 

[brownblade]

The "journalist" works for WhoScored which is a football app with some stats built in. We've known Souza has some good stats, which is our best hope of selling him.

I predicted making a profit on him somewhere on this forum, for this reason.

This has got Vern written all over it

 

[sheff_blade90]

the fact that Souza is in the same conversation as hamer. is very insulting towards hamer

& also that man has clearly never watched souza because what he's written & what ive watched dont match

'Battler'

They spelt “bottler” wrong

 

[raul]

I want more articles like this about our Vini.

'Battler'

They clearly never watched a battler… Souza will never fit that description

 

[raul]

I want more articles like this about our Vini.

They spelt shit, lazy, nesh, delusional get wrong

 

[Keen Blade]

Ssh ! Now is the time to keep quiet.

The article is brilliant news ...

Third most tackles in the PL - let's have £15m for him

 

[Varkanoid]

this is the advantage with the increase in stats usage in football and some will be driven by stats and convinced by them.

It doesn’t make them qualified when it comes to the eye test.

Hopefully plenty of these stat guys are all over Vini and we get our money back or even a profit.

 

[Proper Blade]

It seems a lot of fans in the modern era base their opinion of a player entirely on stats. I see it a lot on Twitter - idiot FIFA players throwing out someone's average rating on FotMob as undeniable proof that he's amazing/the worst player in the world (because it has to be one or the other).

Ridiculous that they publish that kind of stuff in The Guardian. I would strongly suspect the writer has never watched any of those players in the flesh.

I once played in a charity match and was surprised to see former pig Andy McCulloch on the other team.
I challenged him 300 times in that game and lost all 300

 

[Harry's Game]

“Did all he could to help Sheffield United beat the drop”

In the same way the Luftwaffe did all they could to help the modernisation of Sheffield City Centre,

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Ideal replacement for Lundcunt at Rangers,his pointing is on a par with him.

 

[Blackheath Blade]

Souza's so fuckin lazy, he'd point at a pen and get someone to sign any contract for him.

 

[Old Programme seller]

The more we get for him the better imo ‘god he’s good’

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

 

[Bell4]

Utd being bought by yanks is more believable

 

[Revolution]

Three years ago these idiots had Ampadu on the equivalent list, which reinforces the view that as well as crunching numbers they should also watch a game occasionally.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Surely this is good news? Neutrals away from SUFC rating Souza high?!

BTW the article is spot on.. 10m he's yours anyone.

 

[Pintor75]

Souza is very underrated, he's the future of the Brazilian team, whoever buys him will get one he'll of a player, any bid top side of £20m will be a bargain in a few years, if I were a premiership manager I'd want to sign him

Any of these stats are useful, you've just got to be intelligent enough to put them into context. Using a raw count of tackles stat without looking at the context of Vini playing in a team where if they have 30% possession it's a good day would be beyond ridiculous. That said, at the same time, you've got to look forward and ask what a player can do for you in the future. Could well be that there are teams that look at the attributes that Souza has and think that they would be much better suited to their team in 24/25 onwards than what they were for us in 23/24. It's a pretty common mistake to make, you only need to look at the number of people here who will look at one of our players, give a universal "he's shit and will always be shit, for whoever, wherever and whenever" rather than "he was shit for us this season, but does he have value for us in the Championship?"

 

[The Fox]

I feel like I might be in a minority here but I don't get the negativity around vinnie. This seasons been a car crash defensively and playing in his position and amongst it would have been bewildering for most.
It possibly sucked the energy out of him by the end but I'd like him here next season . We've lacked physicality for years and whilst he's not been outstanding by any measure he's got enough and possibly more than who we'd replace him with . If he gets moved on good luck to the lad

just perhaps theyve had lomger to write about our departing players as we were relegated a while ago


one thread accusing the prince of robbing us now one saying hes getting as much money as possible with menaces

 

[blade too long]

all of this speculation claptrap stems from agents
for obvious reasons

theres not one player that hasnt had an offer tendered according to "reliable" sources
