Really serious question, is there a better song that this?
>asking a burmese bamboo weaving online shopping mart for advice lad
Jaxon Barnes
Ugh. I always sucked at this. Getting the number is not a lay, its more of a rejection in a polite way.
If you build a connection with her, she will be texting you not the other way around.
William Ward
thats not what moneyball is you plonker
Jacob Gonzalez

William Young
wtf are you talking about?
Blake Baker
Do North Americans understand irony or are you just memeing?
David Williams
Always liked Ulloa. This goal was awesome - caused a seismic reaction if I recall correctly.
Luis Martin
fuck off, bandwagoner
James Martin
I wasn't going for how much they'd cost this window, I was going by last transfers
Gavin Torres
that team is terrible
Evan Mitchell
he's better than slimani who is dogshit
Angel Gomez
GK: Mignolet RB: Abel Xavier CB: Sakho CB: Rigobert Song LB: Fabio Aurelio CDM: Lucas Levia CDM: Alberto Aquilani RM: Ryan Babel LM: El Hadji Diuf ST: Robbie Keane ST: Andriy Voronin
How many points more than second team in the league would they have?
And how far would they get in Fifa Club World Cup?
Blake Morris
moneyball isnt about finding good players for cheap, its about analyzing market inefficiencies to get good players that other people dont value.
like buying a short CB with intelligence and passing ability when everyone wants a tall cunt that can win headers and just boots the ball out
or a slow winger with good passing ability when everyone else wants a pacebabby
Elijah Bell
>bandwagoner
Were you at Highfield Road in 1983 user? Lovely sunny day and there was a pitch invasion by the BS. Do you remember that kid being thrown thro a plate glass window in Cov town centre b4 the game?
No?
Then where were you user...?
David Martinez
>like buying a short CB with intelligence and passing ability when everyone wants a tall cunt that can win headers and just boots the ball out
so what you're saying is that john stones is a classic moneyball signing??????
Anthony Miller
>listens to Kasabian once
Ryan Smith
How's life on the spectrum?
Juan Phillips
no because now that everyone wants a ball playing CB, they become overpriced and overrated, and now you can get a tall CB thats really really good at headers for example for nothing because no other teams want him and if he ends up becoming very good you can build the defence around them? Get it?
Jordan Thompson
"So when are we getting married?" There you go Inb4 people pretending it doesn't work
Lincoln Morris
pretty good
Nathan Jones
>being an old man on Sup Forums lol
Easton Harris
>Thinking everyone here is like me ....
Samuel Price
So, you can get a really good player cheap?
Joshua Parker
Feel bad for Ulloa. He just wants to play.
Lincoln Wright
>bragging about being old
Hunter Murphy
Reminder if you're older than ~25 and on Sup Forums you should fucking kill yourself. You're pathetic
Lucas Long
yes but simply getting good players cheap isnt the purpose of moneyball, everyone can buy cheap players and hope one of them turns out good, thats what chelsea is doing with the 8 gorillian loans, the purpose of moneyball is finding market inefficiencies that you can exploit.
Jaxon Cox
young Savage why you trappin so hard?
Samuel Russell
Imagine how sad you have to be to bring up an incident from 1983 to prove you aren't a bandwagoner.
Most current footballers weren't even born then.
Kayden Scott
reminder if you're spending your youth on Sup Forums you should fucking kill yourself. you're pathetic.
Liam Gonzalez
we're all going to die someday so who cares
Matthew Ortiz
Reminder if you're on Sup Forums you should fucking kill yourself. You're pathetic
Aaron Cook
>the purpose of moneyball is finding market inefficiencies that you can exploit. To get good players cheap. What Billy Beane did was look at what really wins baseball games, and created new stats based on those things. Then he found players who did well in his stats to build a team. His entore motivation was literally"The Oakland A's are poor, I need to get good players cheap."
Beane's players were good, just undervalued or poorly scouted. Yes, market inefficiency, but still good and most importantly cheap. Or he would have failed instead of becoming a legend.
The entire Oakland A's motivation was finding good and cheap.
Benjamin Ross
Exactly. What kind of loser teenage kid is posting here instead of playing football and fucking 16yo cuties? Maybe it is just a meme that there are so many shitheads wasting their best, easiest, free-est years throwing shit back and forth on this board.
Maybe we are all old guys. I know I am.
Connor Butler
good players arent cheap though, thats the whole point, one of beanes most moneyball esque signings was hatteberg who was old and couldnt play his original position any nobody wanted.
moneyball in the premier league for example could be paying premium prices for an older established player now that everyone wants to spunk on young talent with promise in the hopes they can be messi ronaldo level
>Wolves have signed winger Helder Costa on a permanent deal until 2021 for a club record fee of £13m.
>championship teams signing players for £13m Ridiculous.
Jack Hughes
You should see how much Newcastle spent in the summer
Gabriel Morales
Still made a profit thanks to Spuds.
Adrian Butler
>inb4 his acl explodes
Nicholas Gutierrez
And the scousers
Colton Turner
It's not just Newcastle to blame.
>Costa becomes the fifth player to move to an English Football League club this season for a fee of more than £10m, following Dwight Gayle and Matt Ritchie's moves to Newcastle, Ross McCormack's transfer to Aston Villa, and Villa's signing of Bristol City striker Jonathan Kodjia.
>unironically signing ross "GATE-GATE" mccormack >villol
Gavin Brown
CHELSEA MIGHT BE ABOUT TO PICK UP MOUSSA DEMBÉLÉ FROM CELTIC FOR OVER 30MILLION LMAO
Christian James
That's their record transfer, and I think they have a bit of money from selling Afobe to Bournemouth. One of the blokes in my Sunday league team is a wolves supporter and told me this so I dunno if true.
Charles Thompson
He raped Liverpool, though, by far the best player on the pitch. They will make a good profit when they sell him on.
Jayden Nguyen
There's just no logic behind that, I don't understand. They could just recall Remy.
Caleb Sanchez
They're going to get fucking relegated as well, that's madness.
>I think they have a bit of money from selling Afobe to Bournemouth Afobe was £10m so that's all gone.
Easton Thompson
*steals from you*
>Mouyes will be in 6th all season
Charles Rogers
THIS! someone will die as virgin and someone will just die
Sebastian Kelly
Statto.com is down, but I am sure that United has been 6th since at least Noember 3rd.
Brody Sanchez
truer words have never been spoken my friend
Asher Bell
Tbf I come here for the EXPOSED and official laugh at x threads because they are funny.
Parker Parker
Dunno why their aren't more championship players in people's moneyball. Readings Jake cooper literally never loses an aerial duel and he's like 6ft 5. In terms of being an opposite to the meme "BPDefender" he's a great example.
In the prem players like Aaron Lennon always scores when he plays. Not the fastest anymore but has the knack still. Carroll is another example of a type of player undervalued now. Why no more target men?
Christian Adams
>Dunno why their aren't more championship players in people's moneyball. because Sup Forums is full of bandwagon retards who never watch games
Aiden Bailey
Because everyone wants a 5 tool up the middle stud ie Fernando Torres circa liverpoo.
Jayden Edwards
>Chelsea will win the league and there's nothing >we can do about it
Aaron Green
last day of trans lads
Luke Foster
>Aaron Lennon always scores when he plays
umm no sweetie. 40 goals in 464 appearances in his career
Ayden Parker
You can always find trans in your heart, lad
Ian Reyes
still time for City to spend 30 million somethings on a mediocre CB surely
Hudson Powell
>not a single spurs transfer
weird feel
Ian Jenkins
If van Dijk was healthy they could have spent 50 for a class defender. Shame.
Lincoln Ramirez
>You now remember Mangala
Jaxon Moore
my guess is Nordin Amrabat
Hunter Jenkins
meanwhile spurs signed alderweireld for about 10m. madness
