Deano’s wishlist - the Jan transfer speculation/guaranteed nonsense thread

[Mister E]

In 79 games for AA Gent, Kalinic got 88 goals and kept his nets clean 29 times.

So, he kept 29 clean sheets - meaning that he conceded 88 goals in 50 games: 1.76 avg per game. Desn't sound great, but then I've no idea what the defence was like.

Seven yellow cards, wow, what would they be for?

Well, it’s better than that isn’t it? Wrong statistically to wipe the clean sheets from the average. It’s like rating a striker only on the games in which he scored.

Or the ones he didn't.

True - and the 29 cleans from 79 ain't a bad ratio.
I was just trying to get some scale to the guys recent record.

Granted I'm not a great mathematician but should this not be 88 goals in 79 games, so more like 1.11 average per game?

[Matt Collins]

You're right

You can't work out an average goals conceded by stripping out all the games in which he got clean sheets!!

Yep. In the games Abraham hasn't scored, he's averaging no goals every 90 minutes. Send him back!

Get a defence in please Dean and maybe work on our fitness.

yes re the fitness perhaps pop down to Asda and get some power bars

[Toronto Villa]

The concern isn’t just about getting in talent but it was very noticeable today that as soon as they scored our heads dropped. We need proper leadership in the team to calm things down and get players focused again. Chester clearly isn’t it.

[IFWaters]

Kalinic, Cahill and Rico Henry would be good business.

And keeping Tammy.

[Toronto Villa]

We can make the playoffs but in reality I want us taking steps in the transfer window to make sure at minimum next season we dominate this division.

Left sided centre half and at least one full back desperately needed if we're going to finish in the Play Offs.

[Steve67]

Several out of contract in the summer.  Hutton, Whelan and Jedinak from the usual squad, as well as Bunn, Elphick and Richards.  I think we need to rebuild, starting this winter and bed players in.  Both full backs, centre half, central midfield all needs addressing.  Too much to do this season but shouldn't give up on the play off's just yet.
