Trent Alexander-Arnold

[vlahka]

Where has this made up stat come from?

gasp how dare you! I'm almost too shocked to even give you the information you seek. I got it from this site, whos figures are all 100% correct and I will not hear otherwise.

Wouldnt surprise me if most of his other stats were better too.

Our Nat is doing pretty good for himself while in a worse team. No surprise really after he single handedly got us into the champions league and every judas here turned their back on him!

Just casually pointing out Nat has a better heading stat than VVD. Casually.

Full backs are obviously not known for there aerial ability looking at that list

Thats true, but at the same time... 20% means he is winning 1 in 5. Bradley is getting similar numbers to VVD.

Looking back

2023/4 57.1
2022/3 60.6
2021/2 53.6
2020/1 25.8
2019/20 33.3
2018/19 28.1
2017/18 22.7

He was actually posting some decent numbers the past 3 seasons (for a fullback).

lol... What a guy!!!

I think 70+ is minimum. Bit concerning how bad Quansah is. Having him alongside Trent is a glaring weakness. He is still young but itsa really awful stat.... still its better than 20%. My dead granny could probably win n aerial against trent

83.3% - Van Dijk
◉ 76.1% - Maguire
◉ 74.6% - Onana
◉ 74.4% - Gomez
◉ 73.7% - Matip
◉ 73.5% - Kilman
◉ 71.6% - Ajer
◉ 71.4% - Konaté
◉ 71.1% - Quansah
◉ 71% - Rodri
◉ 71% - Pinnock
◉ 70.9% - Burn
◉ 70.9% - Silva
◉ 70% - Tarkowski

This was April Last year. uansah has the ability its just whether last year was a one off. Full backs are obviously not known for there aerial ability looking at that list

You're not a random unknown. More like a known unknown.

[Paul12]

He has been one of the most highly touted young CBs in Europe for a couple years now so not exactly some random unknown that folk have not heard of.

50m is a lot for a 19 year old

Anyone (apart from Jaco) seen much of him?

Aerials won is 70% according to FBREF <edit> thats number won, not a %age... sorry

Yeah that is worrying. Our defender for 24-5:

Konate 75.9
Gravenberch 72
Bradley 71.4
VVD 71.2
Gomez 69.2
Tsimikas 50
Quansah 41.7
Endo 33.3
Robertson 26.7
Trent 20 (lol )

Yeah... Trent putting the effort in there. Cant out jump Endo.

Anything under 70 and I would check out straight away, tbh. In our league not being able to defend high balls is going to be horrible (although I got savaged for saying that last time).

[Mark79]

He looks very good statistically.

Only concern is his low pass completion is only 83%. Could be playing more risky balls, but that is pretty poor for a centreback. He is only 19 though. £50m might still be a big risk.

Bournemouth do ask their defenders play long balls into the opposition fullbacks space.

A bigger concern would be his aerial wins which is only 59%.

[Charly]

Dean Huijsen?

He's going to cost a lot more than £50m

It'll be more akin the VVD fee.

EDIT - Quick Google shows he apparently has a £50m release clause. I'll get back in my box.

Every big club in Europe are seemingly linked with him...well except Juventus

Crackers that Juventus left that fella leave to Bournemouth

And they paid more for Lloyd Kelly
