simo Posted 31 July, 2015 Share Posted 31 July, 2015 The variation in the number of games Saints could play this season is huge. It could be in the early 40's or close to 70. A 20 goal striker who played 40 games has a lot better record than one played in 60+ games. A "20 goal striker" sounds good, but you need context on it which is why generally it is only used as a term for league games. Plus you then have the variation in standard of opponent, which is less if you only look at league games. A twenty goal striker is a 20 goal striker no matter where the goals come imo!

hypochondriac Posted 31 July, 2015 Share Posted 31 July, 2015 I was referring to all Competitions. Back 5-10 years I would have agreed it meant the league, nowadays not so much - its very rare to get a 15/20 per season striker in the PL, as you pointed out. There we go then. MLG is behind the times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow so that's every poster except one who agrees with the new definition. Just the one poster lagging behind with his outdated and incorrect assumptions.

VectisSaint Posted 31 July, 2015 Share Posted 31 July, 2015 Last season only 4 players scored 15 or more Premier League goals... Aguero Kane Austin Sanchez 15+ Premier League strikers are rare. Wrong, Costa makes 5. Scored 20 in the PL and 1 in the Cup. The two previous seasons there were 10, many years there have been at least 7 or 8, 2004/5 only Henry and Andy Johnson.

The general point still stands that the number is low, its hard to see Wickham getting to such levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince Posted 31 July, 2015 Share Posted 31 July, 2015 Indeed, which is why Mane, IMO is a ridiculously good each way (1/4 odds in top 4) bet for Premier League top scorer at 100-1. He could get 15 goals f'sure. That bet was just too tempting for me - if you do it £10 e/w with Paddy Power, you currently get a free £2 bet each time he scores as well.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 3 August, 2015 Share Posted 3 August, 2015 PALACE SIGN WICKHAM Crystal Palace have completed the signing of Connor Wickham from Sunderland on a five-year deal. I think Wickham could be a half-decent signing for them if he can stay fit. I would imagine he is the Glenn Murray (31) replacement, but he'll do well to replicate his effectiveness and strike rate.

Bargain fee but presumably there are some hefty wages invovled. As for Traore, it would be a bit of a strange signing for Liverpool given they presumably only have space for three or, at a push, four of the following in the team at any one time: Sturridge Benteke Coutinho Firmino Lallana Balloteli (lolz) Borini (lolz) Markovic (assuming they don't want to convert him to a permanent wing-back. lolz) Ibe (assuming he is viewed as an offensive player rather than Clyne's understudy) I can see Traore being the kind of player Koeman would like in the squad. He's similar to Elia in the sense that he's a touchline-hugging winger, would fit a 4-3-3 happily and he's fast (although he plays on the right, normally, not the left).
