Not sure if I read it on here or somewhere else, but was wondering if theirs any truth to it as a friend of mine recently bought this up.
Did arsenal or more particularly silent stan, bring in a statistician/accountant last summer. Or whatever they are called, the people for baseball I believe who base values of players on a range of stats.?
Remember something along these lines, where the maximum value for each target was calculated and hence non of the offers made were increased e.g. Bender.
Can anyone clarify or develope this concept?

well not sure about that, but we did invest in an opta style stats business, and I would be unsurprised if we hadn't used them to not only value and work out efficiency of our own players, but also of potential targets
