"The whole "Use data to negotiate a new deal" concept has been around a while but it's still nowhere near ubiquitous. It started with smart players and agents and is expanding to a few more. The utility + return on investment is three-fold. 1) It usually helps players' find areas to argue their value. Like would you pay .5% of your deal size to find a way to earn 5% more to potential employers 2) It helps players know where they stand both in the elite crowd and the average crowd. If you are not as good as you think you are you may need to take a "good" deal vs going out on the market and"

"This literally happened because a bunch of nerds KEPT TALKING ABOUT it on the internet and then showed their work over and over again until everyone just agreed that "Yeah actually shots from closer are better and shots with feet are better and hey the whole game needs to change to generate more of those."

"Liverpool like Leny Yoro. Sure why not Hes an 18-year old centre back picking up large playing time at Lille in Ligue [--]. If you are a teenager getting major playing time in a decent league you end up on the scouting list for basically any competent team in the world these days. Then you get teams like Barcelona who seem to produce a world class academy kid every year right now but then they dont manage their minutes well enough and those kids get hobbled with persistent injury issues. Anyway Yoro is an exciting talent and has caught the eye of a number of teams. But as we noted on the pod"

"For Arsenal fans re: Gyokeres. The S*n had a VERY interesting little line in it saying he was prepared to wait until the end of the summer window to get a loan to another European club if his move to Arsenal doesnt materialise. A Portugeuse source also said the deal was in danger of collapse because Arsenal hadnt contacted Sporting in three whole days. Which is not a big deal in the grand scheme but it does feel like negotiating through the press and a fairly aggressive walk back on what was reported previously. Curiouser and curiouser. this deal is definitely NOT done"
