Most clubs are strapped for cash so getting rid of players first is a priority for many teams, then free transfers in could be the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bielik did not seem to bring that big improvement. Plus, the moneyball approach would suggest that improving more weak areas in a team has a greater effect than buying 1 star player. See Michael Lewis for the evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
