Yes and it is a very significant part of Pool's recent success. Their new management group, Fenway Group, implemented a data science model they had developed in the Major League which allows them to scientifically determine the risks and rewards of going for such unproven talents, thus significantly reducing the ratio of flops. The result is quite obvious - they have built an immensely strong team without outspending other teams.
All we have is Woodward, a trashy scouting department and angry fans
Cant we’ll get behind this?

For the record, every football team in the Premier League is working with data science/machine learning models, and they have been for approx the last decade. Liverpool are not any further on in this than any other team. I have worked in this field for the past decade or so.
Well then you should know that "machine learning" is not just some magic you sprinkle on top of a team. What are they using it for? Liverpool has well documented history of using it for scouting. Tell me a single signing that United has made based on any data model? Not to mention that all data models are not equally effective
He must be good because he has one of the most underwhelming youtube highlight reels I`ve ever seen.
Im sure they are but if you work “in Data” you’ll also be acutely aware that you can have all the Data in the world at your fingertips but it’s how it’s interpreted and applied that is the key
As an aside, most of United’s signings in the last 6/7yrs don’t seem very Data-driven to me. Most had either been previously coached by our manager at the time or were already established International footballers
Cantwell is good but he is more of a prospect while with maddison or grealish you are sure of what you are getting
I'd rather sign canwell than cantwell personally
Watch some of his footage.. have to say, what's the problem with his goal celebration? Looks really punchable.
I'm all for signing for someone like Cantwell - but not giving chances to players like Gomes & Levitt seems off - these players seems like the types we might be buying from other clubs if they were performing.
If Todd helps us to 2 PL titles and an FA Cup, I’d be made upAnother Cantwell in a United shirt
Glad someone got the reference!
I wonder if Todd is related to Noel Cantwell?
My dear sir, that was the team my late dad introduced me to.
When Best joined that was it and never looked back
Not that I’ve seen anything. Would have thought it would have been reported somewhere
Unless it’s some kind of distant relative I don’t think so. That being said it’s not a very common surname
I think we are establishing that if we sign him, he 100% needs to change his surame. Has to be in the contract, not negotiableAnother Cantwell in a United shirt
He was taunted as a cheap alternative for AWB only for Norwich to then slap a 40m price tag to him
If we buy Maddison, Leicester are going to buy Cantwell
And another player given the price Maddison will go for
he does a dance so will be scapegoated badly
if he had a moody disposition and was french he could do whatever he wanted

Yeah, like the way no one ever mentions Martial’s body language.
The Dereham Deco, looks a decent player. Comes across as a bit of a numpty though, those goal celebrations are tragic.

One of my oul fellas post babes favourites.
This kid is another left sided player isnt he?
Thought he played well against us.
Very tenacious and quick thinking player.
Got a good save out of DDG and had a couple of more efforts at goal ,so he's not lacking confidence there.
Can see him playing for Leicester this time next year,possibly as a Maddison replacement if we continue our interest.

he was the only Norwich player to stand out at OT on Saturday. head never dropped and kept going all the time. need to see more of him to know whether I'd want him at United but he looks way better bet than defender Max Aarons who all the fuss was about at start of season
I don't get the Max Aaron's hype either, Jamal Lewis looks much better over on the other side
Buendia and Cantwell were the only ones trying to do something. I'll try a double bid.
Let us know how you get on.
Personally thought Buendia was the more likely threat, quick feet and his agility was a positive for Norwich throughout.
He definitely is (Lewis).
Looks like a knock-off Antoine Griezmann action figure.
Looks like Amy Adams.
I was impressed with Buendia. Busy and good quality on the ball. Seems to have a good eye for a pass too.
