quite a few big hitters out of contract.

If Swansea fail to go up then cant see Aiwo (?) staying so unsettled squads new faces.

Hopefully our squad is settled and bedded in last season. 1 of 4 signed so hopefully we may have an advantage plus were a good team.

An absolutely hopeless player. So glad Stoke got him and we got Cameron.

I'd take Cook as cover for the back assuming Masterson will go out on loan when fit.

Mowett also on that list and we have been linked in the past but we are heavily linked with Twine from Swindon.

I'm sure we'll tie up that deal for Twine.

He only signed a one-year deal last summer, and there's been no news of him renewing, so as it stands he'll be out of contract. Not sure if the club has an extra year's option but wouldn't be surprised if we do.

My guess is we're waiting to see what happens with Johansen and other targets before deciding on either exercising our option or offering him a new deal.

I'm sure our data focus recruitment man, Andy Belk, would be appalled at the suggestion of signing Cousins. Can you imagine his stats?

Not to the same current seniority but Belk has been involved in recruitment analysis at the club since 2015, a year before Cousins was signed.

Generally speaking I tend to think these days the dialogue around analytics is kind of at an impasse. Most of the interest factor in speaking to data guys about what they do is all in what they won't tell you, either for reasons of professional confidentiality if they're in a job or to keep the mystique going so they can get one. The nature of the success stories are pretty familiar these days.

But in Belk's case, as someone who's come through what would appear to be various eras of recruitment strategy, it would be fascinating to hear for instance whether he thought the 16/17 signings were errors in hindsight, what did we learn from them, or was it simply situational mismanagement that squandered their talent? Why for instance is Ngbakoto playing in Greece now when his record when signed was comparable to Mbuemo or Benrahma?

Got him for the Patreon, but after the summer transfer window, so I will add this question to the list.

Ooh nice.

A similar/wider question I could rephrase is what is/are the biggest blindspots in analytics currently, beyond personal "you never know about a player's home life" type stuff. It's been interesting watching the minor goldrush in the community collectively figuring out how to value keepers in recent years for instance (improving the saleability of The Product but also a tacit admission that it was lacking in that aspect before too).

One more: does analytics make football more or less accessible? Does he like the way analytics is presented in the media, etc? Thinking of the culture war between Those Icky New Young Brentford Fans (and perhaps the increased media attention Warbs took a swipe at on the pod) vs anti-analytics Jim Whites using it as proxy in their fear and loathing of wider disenfranchisement in the game at large.

Third:

Liverpool's director of research Ian Graham says here “I don’t like video. It biases you” and apparently relies solely on his custom formulae for analysis. Is he an absolute madlad?

@rsonist 'Why for instance is Ngbakoto playing in Greece now when his record when signed was comparable to Mbuemo or Benrahma?'

'Context is king. This means understanding the key circumstances and facts that actually contribute to an end effect. The example Ankersen uses is that of choosing between an Apple and Microsoft employee. Whilst the Apple employee may have performed better in total sales, it may take more competence for the Microsoft employee to bring in an average amount of sales. Therefore, we must take into account the context in order to guide our decision making. It also has wider effects on being able to judge whether your actions lead to success or not.'

I recall Cousins playing for Charlton against us at HQ.......he looked a very good player on the day and was best midfielder on the pitch.

Then we signed him in pre-season and I was a happy man

Sadly, and who knows why, he never reached those heights he did on the QPR v Charlton match. Never worked out for him here.

No, he's done his time, I don't want him here again.
