One can examine statistics and interpret them in different ways drawing different conclusions. There is a tendency for people to "interpret them" in ways that reinforce their existing bias. Perhaps you could explain the methodology you used to reach your " 1 in 5" conclusion, so we can understand its validity better.

Reliable source on twitter says we are looking at a wide player, good age and re-sale value that also has international experience. Apparently nothing imminent on MF or striker front yet. We have a few wide players now, unless Pat is thinking about Wilf through the middle on a more permanent basis perhaps Carl isn’t always reliable at the moment I’d take what he says with a pinch of salt

It is clear that Doombear was using minutes played to give the 1 in 3 figure whereas you have now made it clear that you were using appearances to give the 1 in 5 figure. This is why I made the point that sharing methodology is important. Personally I prefer using minutes played, so that we can get a figure of "goals per 90 minutes" as opposed to appearances, where one appearance could be as short as 1 or 2 minutes.

I am mindful that the debate under discussion is "Transfers", accordingly veering into a discussion about stats and "Methodology" regarding player statistics is perhaps taking the train off the tracks.

Viera makes it clear the squad is not big enough, yet Benteke is let go, and this is no surprise as a move for him has been talked of for weeks. So could it be Palace have a player in the bag, but are just not talking about it. .? Who was the mystery young Chelsea player that was overheard saying that he was joining Palace on the following day - which was a week ago

The elephant in the room with Palace is that we still need a decent sticker. Mateta and Edouard are ok but just that. …

Worth a revisit a few weeks on ( without making it a debate as to whether Dazza is in the know or not). We’ve signed Doucoure, Johnstone and Richards. On the whole the individuals named were ‘in play’ having subsequently moved on from their clubs at the time. Originally posted by dazza
Evening everyone, I am going to post updates on here as soon as I get them & when my work allows, I am not asking you to believe everything I put but will post for those that are interested: As off tonight I have been told the following: Cheick Doucoure - Done Deal 5yr deal - €20m We are very interested in the following: Lewis o’Brien - £12m We will not get all of these obviously as some are 1st & 2nd choices but I would expect 3 of these on top of the 2 confirmed. It’s great to see that we have a clear plan & strategy Luka & Benteke likely to move on. Kouyate could also go wants a 2yr deal we have currently only offered a 1yr deal.
