Phil Jones is leaving Man Utd at the end of the season. He's not played in about 5 years. Just saying.

But we're still looking to sign Yerdas Selzavon, though? Right?

FBref. I believe it's comparing him to other central midfielders in his league, but I could be wrong. Edit: He's compared to players in his position from "Men's Next 8 Competitions (American Major League Soccer, Brazilian Série A, Dutch Eredivisie, English Championship, Mexican Liga MX, Portuguese Primeira Liga, Copa Libertadores, UEFA Europa Conference League)". https://fbref.com/en/about/scouting-reports-explained One way it might be skewed is he's compared to sitting midfielders, which he is but he seems to get forward a lot, too. FBref separate defensive midfielders from attacking midfielders/wingers.

I think he has quite a good injury record, as he doesn't miss many games.

He scores and assists a lot for those in his position (in that league) - these stats cover the last 365 days, so will go into the previous season. He doesn't attempt many passes, but when he does, they tend to be longer and riskier. He's quite good at carrying the ball. Not good at blocking nor interceptions. Strange central midfielder...

Cifuentes' stats:

I think he's more of a sitting player, so I'm being harsh. He looks to be a #8. (I've just seen that he plays with Tillman's older brother.)

One goal and 3 assists in 14 games. Good stuff.

Shall I translate it into Russian for you?

I'm still convinced that a large part of our injury problems stemmed from GvB. I believe we'll see an upturn next season with MB's methods.

Source saying Yilmaz is wanted by MB.

The italics suggest @ranger_syntax was being sarcastic.

Our memories are often inaccurate, too. You always need those players, anyway. @Sutton_blows_goats always talks about Maurice Ross and Bob Malcolm. Average players at best, but integral squad players.

Sakala is similar now but there are those calling for him to be punted.

Powell? Edit: Did you mean Dowell?

If this anti-DoF nonsense is present in the boardroom, we are f*cked; we'll be forever stuck in the past.

As I have said previously, I think that's a big mistake.

Just read that Jordi Cruyff is leaving his role as Sporting Director at Barca. We should make a move.

Moyes, Big Sam?

I'm not getting my hopes up. I've been burned too many times before...

What he means is, 'I don't like the DoF, so I'm going to make up anything I can to criticise him and question the whole DoF structure even if every elite side in world football uses one.'

I thought he had Jota in his back pocket...
