Tricky to keep things quiet with crack journalists everywhere.
That is also something that could be true.The Modric story was between us and him. This one involves another club. Who's to say that the leak isn't at their end?
Shocked it is as high as 20% honestly. Add in he has no grasp of the offside law, and he turns over possession A LOT!48.4th percentile. Just below average.
Eom 35 per cent, 90.6th percentile.
Cack journalists...Tricky to keep things quiet with crack journalists everywhere.
I am honestly trying to think of a time when I got frustrated with Ronald in terms of being caught offside a lot and I am struggling to do so. For all his flaws (and he does have some) straying offside and positional failings are not among themShocked it is as high as 20% honestly. Add in he has no grasp of the offside law, and he turns over possession A LOT!
Obviously other important qualities though.
Not calling you out as wrong, just its failing to come to mind. For example when Bianchini came on to replace him against Millwall he was the only Swans player to get caught offside, Ronald played 86 minutes of that game wasn't offside once.I am a refugee from the old Guest book - and Wyn and I had a friendly debate on this. Bottom line there were definitive stats about our Ron’s ability to stay onside- without going back to look, he is terrible statistically.
Ronald's ability to stay onside isn't his biggest failing to be honest, his ability to beat his man and put a decent cross in is though.Not calling you out as wrong, just its failing to come to mind.

Against Oxford the Swans were caught offside 4 times - Ronald in the 26th minute, Viptonik in the 29th minute, Ronald in the 52nd minute and Eom in the 85th minute.
In my opinion a forward player getting caught offside two times or less per game is acceptable. For comparison just look at Obafemi when he was here and would get caught offside 4, 5 or even more times per game.
A big part of this is down to instinct and confidence, sometimes he looks unplayable and other times unable to play. Same with the quality of his crossing, sometimes he puts in an absolute peach and other times the less said about the cross the better.Ronald's ability to stay onside isn't his biggest failing to be honest, his ability to beat his man and put a decent cross in is though.
He's got 9 goals and assists, it's ok I suppose when a manager states that only take on a player if you're 100% sure.. not even Bob Bradley was this nuts.. but letting Key and Tymon maraud into the penalty area leaving the grand canyon at the back just sums it upRonald's ability to stay onside isn't his biggest failing to be honest, his ability to beat his man and put a decent cross in is though.
Hopefully it's not a bad injury and the medical will be a formality otherwise we could have another Otto type situation all over again.
You can understand why the club are not keen on these leaks with potential new signings. There does unfortunately seem to be more leaks in recent months regards potential signings.....club needs to keep it indoors better like they did the Modric story.
Well we know about Wales already and he hasn't signed so it's got into the media before he has signed or about to. I can't recall who broke that but my memory is telling me that it was a British reporter although I could me mistaken.Has it? Did you know about the Killie lad then?
What can the club do if a Swedish news outlet gets hold of it at the guys club side?
Sportexpressen. That is not a swans leak.
Fabrizio Romano…Well we know about Wales already and he hasn't signed so it's got into the media before he has signed or about to. I can't recall who broke that but my memory is telling me that it was a British reporter although I could me mistaken.
Not all leaks are going to be through the club granted.
They need to get Modric to send some heavies around thenFabrizio Romano…
If Romano says its happening, its happening.Fabrizio Romano…
