Recently got my hands on a translation of Thiago Motta's thesis for his UEFA pro license and one thing that immediately stuck out to me was his emphasis on "technical trust" - a team's ability to trust in one another to receive passes in difficult positions and continue the play
Can’t wait to flog Bentacur for Danois so we can play a Ferrandes-Ferrandes pivot
Arthur Avom, Kevin Danois, Pape Demba Diop, and Lamine Camara are all Premier League ready midfielders.
- A. Avom: super progressive passer and high on-ball responsibility, limited physically by size (aerials, ability to cover grass oop), but free this summer or 10m in January
- K. Danois: complete midfielder, 8/10 for both his threat/progression from carries and passes, physically up to the standard of the league
- P. Diop: more of a b2b midfielder last year but a no. 6 this season (I think the latter suits him more), once again a solid progressor but strong ground coverage defensively so far this season
- L. Camara: bit undersized but otherwise the most complete in and out of possession, strongest numbers across a multi-season sample
Camara is like a 9/10, Danois and Diop are 8/10s (depends on if you need someone to run ↕️ or ↔️), Avom is a 7/10. I think the 'cost to acquire' each is commensurate with immediate on-pitch value, except Avom, due to his contract situation.
Varying degrees of where they should land in the league, but all should be there sooner rather than later.

What a steal - wonder if they will actually keep him
🚨💣 BREAKING: Real Madrid have decided to activate their buy-back clause for Jacobo Ramon in 2027.
DECISION 100% DONE.
It will cost LESS than €9M.
After that, a decision will be made on his future: either he stays at Real Madrid, or a transfer to the Premier League will be negotiated, as many English clubs want him. @MatteMoretto

1/ Spurs’ technical director Johan Lange says scouting is now so good everywhere that finding undervalued players “for a tenth of the price – that race is over.”
I’m a quantitative investor. In my world, that’s how you describe giving up. 🧵
We’re never gonna break out of this cycle are we
Roberto De Zerbi: Pedro Porro back. Robertson is fit. Udogie out.
Maddison big doubt. Missed three days training.
Kulusevski working mainly indoors.
Savio & Bergvall remain out. #THFC

It worked
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
It did not work.
