Eoghan1884 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Tyrese Francois, a 23 year old Australian out of contract at Fulham this summer on loan at Vejle Boldklub in Denmark where we know we’re looking. Fulham have kept him around for the last few years giving him the odd game here and there. His defensive stats are incredible and is the 98th percentile for defensive actions. His defensive stats in comparison to Ebou Adams per 90 to show how good his stats actually are. He’s left footed so the two of them could actually play together pretty should we get them. Lots of positives about him as he knows the English game, works hard, is on a free and is at a good age with up side.

What is this thread turning into? 2 things, he's quite short at 5ft 8 and he's currently team mates with Raul Albentosa.

Francois has been playing for a team that narrowly avoided relegation so you’d expect him to be exposed to more defensive duties. I also often question such stats. On the basis of those figures what on earth has Ebou been doing all game, why is he such a fans favourite and why would we all love it if we could sign him? I must be missing something.

I thought we’d established that Albentosa is a football genius and the reason he didn’t make an impact at Derby is all down to Keogh. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't include miles covered, I guess. Ebou would be right up there in that. Hard to put into stats the overall affect on the rest of the team as well.

Agreed, but ideally we always need to have a left and a right footed player in the pitch, who are capable of taking decent free kicks and corners.

I do agree it’s hard to properly compare him with Ebou, just thought the stat comparison would show people the true meaning of Francois numbers rather than looking at some random numbers p90.

I use an app called Fotmob and used the player comparison option, they use opta stats which is also used by many big outlets and betting sites.

Didn’t we learn the lesson with Hourihane - the legs and the heart have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eoghan1884 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Conor Coady linked with Stoke, would be absolutely perfect to replace Bradley in the centre of a back three. Bags of experience, great range of passing and certainly can still play at the level at only 31. Also lives locally which we have seen can get deals done ie Hourihane, Mcgoldrick etc. if the wages can be sorted I don’t see why we wouldn’t do it. I get people want to sign younger players and I do agree but I think you need a been there done it type player dictating and barking orders from the centre of a defence. Would imagine it’d be a loan as he’s contracted till 2026. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we bring a CB in we'd have to drop Nyambe (or Ward and Wilson) or Nelson and it blocks opportunity for Rooney unless he gets a loan Edited May 13 by trappatoni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
