BRUCE LEE Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Id be very disapointed if he was the only striker we signed. Defo need another preferably pacy striker to run the channels. Antonio? Lavery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueandwhitematt Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Not good enough though pal for our fans. ;) He might have scored goals in the Champions League, and Ligue 1, and even have a Ligue 1 winners medal, but has he done it on a cold Tuesday night away at Charlton?

Sefton owl Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 If we sign this player I will be very happy. Sheffield Wednesday just don't sign players of this calibre and so it might be a good sign of things to come. Forget about the age, 34 is still a decent age. Look at the likes of Kevin Phillips. Yeah, however KP had a relatively decent injury record. Can the same be said for Brandao? Anyone have an idea? According to Wikipedia he didn't play at all in 2013 or this year......

Im not having a pop at us signing him as i havent seen him play he must have something about him to have played for some good clubs. Just find it stange at 34 but hopefully he will compliment another younger striker we bring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiki is never a reliable source for stats or anything else: http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=35789&season_id=143 5 in 26 last season 11 in 27 season before.

JOHNHARKES Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Antonio? Lavery?Antonio has never been a striker imo. Lavery yes in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueandwhitematt Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Not yet.... All he'd need to do is remake himself as a 24 year old, and our lot might be happy then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without bothering to do any proper regression analysis on this, based on previous stats he will score: 4 goals in 23 appearances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Without bothering to do any analysis or research whatsoever, this season he will score 35 goals in 39 appearances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneTheOwl Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Without doing any research it astounds me to see how many Wednesday fans want to write off a player just because of his age. Yet many wanted to embrace Andy Johnson with his whopping 32 goals in 8 years at 33 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Past Member Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Without bothering to do any analysis or research whatsoever, this season he will score 35 goals in 39 appearances any proper regression analysis, looking at the last 2 season a 4 in 23 return would be a decent projection. 35 in 39, based on what?

dmw Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Without bothering to do any proper regression analysis on this, based on previous stats he will score: 4 goals in 23 appearances Go back, do the regression analysis. Why not go the whole hog and conduct some Principal Component Analysis to ensure you have the right set of explanatory variables and not fallen foul of multicollinearity. Then check goodness of fit and compute the confidence interval. Finally, we'll know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corneliusreeve Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I wonder if there are many clubs that would turn the likes of Ryan Giggs down for a years worth of work - not saying that we should go after him but just to endorse your point Prince of Wales Pub = Three Feathers....?? You'll get accused of comparing Giggs to this new guy you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
