It’s not, I think they could definitely adopt better models, seems like the PL clubs despite the bellyaching are fine with it though

One half of www.cannonstats.com, your blog for all things Arsenal and numbers. I won’t rest until people understand the transfer market.

11.08.2025 12:32 — 👍 19 🔁 1 💬 6 📌 0£20m for an old keeper and he’s not even part of your plans? 😱
11.08.2025 12:22 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Three things I think are all true:
1) Multi-club ownership is a bad thing and should go away forever
2) UEFA's rules addressing point 1 are toothless and easy to sidestep, making them pretty stupid/pointless
3) Palace's situation is fully on Textor, he blew this
For sure, I’ve just had people tell me chels winning that is a big deal because those clubs would kill to win it, obviously not true
10.08.2025 21:28 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0It’s funny bc people fully argue that things like Europa and FA Cup are major trophies because they’d be major for a club like Palace or Frankfurt etc. Let’s see when Arsenal win 😂
10.08.2025 20:47 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Yeah, but we already know the inverse of this - he’s kept around for another month and then people complain about that. Realistically the interest wasn’t enough to justify holding out, since he has fitness issues. It’ll end up like a €5m loss
10.08.2025 20:46 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Nobody came in to purchase him, though. It’s not a button you can press when you’re ready
10.08.2025 18:05 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I’m cool either way, but then we can’t count super cups in any league
10.08.2025 18:05 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0Football fandom is cool because thousands or more people out there will base their decision on whether to call the shield a “trophy” depending on who won the game today

10.08.2025 14:58 — 👍 24 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0lukewarm take - the two clubs we've been jostling with are gonna score a ton of pretty goals with all the new attacking talent coming in (Reijnders, Cherki, Wirtz, Frimpong, Kerkez) but they're also gonna give up some really stupid goals
05.06.2025 20:55 — 👍 40 🔁 1 💬 3 📌 1There are absolutely people - mostly online - who misuse data. But those people are fans, not data scientists who represent the concept
Truly reputable people are just as annoyed at those charlatans as anyone else. They acknowledge the shortcomings of numbers and are trying to improve them
I’m so beyond tired of this straw man argument tbh
10.08.2025 13:23 — 👍 7 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 1Largest fee in club history is €4m, if this is the permanent move it’s not going to be much to get you excited

Not an upgrade

09.08.2025 15:33 — 👍 7 🔁 0 💬 4 📌 0Listening to the @cannonstats.com podcast this week is a good cure for the pre-season panic wandering around nowadays. Good to find a place whose critical thinking I identify with, daring to go against the common narrative if needed. Well done @adam.cannonstats.com @scott.cannonstats.com 👊🏼
