Convict Colony

Interesting thanks.

He rep's the players like Zlatan, Paul Pogba & Balotelli, probably via-ing with Jorge Mendes for most prominent agent in the world.

Yeah I think it is about the management belief in the player in his formation than anything else judging by the Feyanoord forum. When he played for Ron he played a lot and scored a few goals but having checked their forum it seems Clasie was talking about Feyanoord not trying to win the league this year and the belief has changed so maybe they are set up not to lose rather than to win games. Hopefully our new Feyanoord fans can fill us in ?

Another scouting report, this one from 2013 and is quite a long - http://espn.go.com/blog/thescoutsnotebook/post/_/id/280 Didn't know his agent is Mino Raiola

I like the look of Vilhena, I really think he will be the sub for Davis if we get him, some of the through balls he plays are excellent.

Lets be real jack is too much like Vic without the beast mode aspect, he's a solid player who has been good to great (in certain games) but he won't influence a game like morgan and vic can, he's the perfect sub for us which is something I think Harry is now performing. Add in the youngsters and the potential in other players we could be looking at then the fair thing would be to get some money for him an let him have the opportunity to prove us wrong at another team by playing regular football. I think he would be excellent for similar type clubs like Palace, Swansea or Villa.

As soon as I saw that on the news I thought about someone posting it in here, who's next Mystic meg ?

Interesting stuff thanks

Didn't watch the game but heard Costa was the sort of player who you love if he plays for you and the rest put him in their fantasy teams. Have to say I like him he can dish it out but also understands the fouls back are part of his own personal battle, no fake diving consistently like Suarez, he's more of a swarthy gunfighter

Clasie to replace Morgan and Vilhena to grow into the Davis role and Reed for Cork.

hahahahaha this all day

I would like to point out I've never played FIFA in my life, it was just the first result of a comparison search on google which I thought would play well to the audience. I think everyone is getting distracted from what I was trying to initiate which was a discussion based on a tool for comparison of our midfielders. Think based on FIFA and Squwaka I would let Jack go and recruit Clasie, 40k a week for Clasie would make him happy and upgrades on cork whilst also being able to step in for Morgan.

Some days 9 (arsenal away) other days 4 (villa away). I just don't like he doesn't come out much from his line as a starting position a la Loris/De Gea etc, I would take him getting lobbed once a season to have him further out.

basically says Morgan is the best at possession, Vic at attacking and Clasie at Defence

Ok used squwaka as another option given its easy comparison style.

Yeah 100% agree, stats just form a benchmark hence i just grabbed the 1st comparison tool I found. I think we will buy Clasie is Morgan goes as was widely reported during the summer. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/southampton-plan-jordy-clasie-transfer-3903311

Jordie Clasie was in tears at the end of the game and the Feyanoord fans think that he is definitely off this year for sure.

Doh thanks, I remember Man City were releasing their playing data so they could get fans to utilise sabermetrics all they had to do was register online, anyone know how that went ?

Hahahaha given the love for Football Manager I reached out for something that can be used as a basis for comparison for our midfield v potential targets. I wasn't saying recruit so and so due to their football ratings I was using 1 tool to review the same group of players to compare. Happy to use another basis if anyone has their own blackbox handy

Didn't want to hijack the jack cork thread with this so just thought i'd start one to start one that compares our current midfielders with ones we are linked with as a comparison for those that are interested. As a basis for comparison I made Matic as the "current" most well regarded DM in the premier league who has 8 beast ratings (green) and is currently is rated 82 on Fifa 15 http://www.futhead.com/15/players/1044/nemanja-matic/ Current: Morgan is rated as 81, he has 6 beast ratings (green) his strengths are stamina, passing, tackling and interceptions - http://www.futhead.com/15/players/11832/morgan-schneiderlin/ Vic is rated 75, he has 6 beast ratings (green) his strengths are stamina, aggression, stamina and shot power - http://www.futhead.com/15/players/16593/victor-wanyama/ Cork is rated 75, he has 0 beast ratings (green) his strengths are stamina, short passing, tackling and interceptions - http://://www.futhead.com/15/players/9864/jack-cork/ Harry is rated 62 but has potential 77, he has 1 beast rating (green) his strengths are balance, agility and short passing - http://://www.futhead.com/15/career-mode/players/9695/harrison-reed/ Potential: Clasie is rated 76 but has potential 81, he has 5 beast ratings (green), his strengths are balance, stamina, ball control - http://://www.futhead.com/15/career-mode/players/7772/jordy-clasie/ Vilhena is rated 73, he has 1 beast rating (green), his strengths are ball control, reactions - http://www.futhead.com/15/players/198/tonny-vilhena/

This game is getting tasty, clasie looking immense, ajax players doing some world class play acting, some classic Klinsman dives from goalie and midfielders. Toby A presented to the crowd with Daley Blind so the fans said thank you at half time.

Hey even Cork ended up scoring eventually, miracles do happen

We have more money than all of those teams according to Deloitte as we all know cash is king for footballers, CL is the excuse they make when leaving clubs for teams in or chasing CL qualification.

I don't actually worry about losing any of our players anymore and I don't think we should in the future. If you look at Ajax, Porto and recently Feyanoord they lose a lot of their team every summer to various leagues and use that wealth to continuously improve. If we get 15mil for Clyne I'd take it.

hahahaha I did chuckle when I saw his name. 0-0 in the game so far near half time, always remember living in Amsterdam and going to the Ajax area plenty of times. Feyanoord on top so far and Mark Wotte doing the co-commentary
