Juanmi's senior Spanish debut vs Holland... [video=youtube;UcB5l5jY-eM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcB5l5jY-eM

That could be tricky, its hard to find an 18 goal Premier League striker for a fraction of £10m-15m.

Turkish, I think you should give up before you dig yourself a deeper hole. Shot conversion rate = % of a players shots that are goals A scuffed shot that rolls along the floor into the keepers arms doesn't count as a goal (btw I made no mention if it was on or off target). A shot that hits the crossbar and doesn't go in, in terms of shot conversion has the same value yet is significantly more difficult to do.

The discussion is about shot conversion rate! Not if a shot is on or off target.

In what way was he right? Was he the very first to link Saints with both players?

I find it unlikely they wouldn't already be aware of it, given his minimun release fee has been in the press for a long time now.

I said it was "flawed", it values each shot equally. A scuffed shot that rolls into the keeper's arms is valued the same as a superb shot from 30 yards that strikes the crossbar.

It appears to bother you, that it bothers me. *endless loop*

Sky Sports News use of statistics in their report about Juanmi was odd (as it is generally). - Why use only 2015 figures and not from the entire season? They picked an arbitrary point in the season. - Why do they think "shot conversion rate" has any real meaning? It is flawed. - Why include only Pelle and Long, when both are used in very different roles? Juanmi certainly won't be used in the Pelle role.

It was their teammates that were terrible.

Schneiderlin, K.Davis and Lallana were all part of a team relegated to League One.

If they are basing the "staying onside" on the clips from that video then it isn't a problem because the linesman gets it wrong.

Or... the odds reflect the money placed by random members of the public guessing where he is going based on numerous conflicting press reports and the bookmakers are setting odds so they can make the most money. I doubt anyone in the press or bookmakers currently know where Austin is going to end up.

The Elia replacement in the squad?

This article claims he is now in England for a medical... http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2015/06/15/primera/1434363742_670073.html

You've only been on these forums since April 2015 and have already had me on ignore? Go me! Anyone with half a brain cell will see the more likely version of events is that your post is based on a previously published national newspaper story... and not rumours from a "friend of a player's wife" who the club happen to be keeping informed of transfer policy. Why are you even trying to maintain this nonsense? Perhaps you should put me on ignore, I wouldn't bother responding to your nonsense. Are you someone's alias?

This "friend of a player's wife" is being kept informed of Liverpool's transfer strategy and Southampton's transfer strategy? hmmm that sounds likely... Can you understand why someone might think the more likely version of events is that you are basing it on a remarkably similar newspaper story that was published 8 hours before your post?

Okay, you got it from someone else... who had read it in the Mirror. What you posted is not new information, it is merely a summary of a story that appeared on the Mirror website 8 hours earlier. Why are you pretending to be itk?

He read it in the Mirror... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-make-renewed-bid-southampton-5882425

He hasn't in the press.

Imagine the uproar on this site if Jordan Henderson said similar about Clyne joining Liverpool.

- Retained list is all the players who are still under contract beyond 30th June 2015. - Released list is players who had a contract expiring in the summer (30th June 2015) and haven't been offered a new one. Gaston Ramirez contract expires on 30th June 2016, so he was never going to be on the released list.
