Data for new signings!

Jesus wept, we are screwed if this is the route we are going down.

It's a tool but working from it as a primary is frightening!

Elaborate then Dapsy ffs.

New players being looked at in January will be signed purely from data.

As I said, using data is important in football as a part of the process but as a primary it's dangerous.

This is not true.

The data team is absolutely getting a revamp, that much is true, and the brains we now have working at the club should be league leading.

But the process relying 100% on data is not accurate, in fact there are a host of scouts being employed to form the human element of the process.

But data will be a large part of the filtering down of worldwide talent, it allows the scope to become wider.

Data analytics for recruitment of players has been tremendously successful for a number of clubs in recent years. Brighton and Brentford ate the most obvious British ones. Others are Napoli and Union Berlin.

I know very little about it and it would be reasonable to assume that the quality of the analysts is paramount.

Would love to have known what the data statistics were on Angel Rangel and Leon Britton .

If there'd been more widespread use of stats Rangel would have been snapped up by someone earlier. Martinez only noticed him having gone to watch a different player. Needle in a haystack for traditional boots on the ground and word of mouth scouting.

"Signed purely from data" means there are no other factors involved.
Whereas using data as a primary decision making tool implies that secondary measures are also considered. You're getting yourself tied up with this.
