We can't really judge them until 2/3 seasons have passed under the current structure. I think even the usual suspects know that they just live for the banter.

Its fantasy to expect every transfer to pay off but so far we can mark Tierney, Saliba, Pepe, Ceballos and Martinelli as good signings on paper.

Luiz (although I think he's been unlucky at times), Mari, Willian and Cedric are the ones that people aren't impressed with but they could all be decent options next season.

I don't really have a problem with any of the recent signings bar Mari, I don't really see the logic in that one at all, especially if Gabriel is coming in.

Upemacano might as well play DM wtf:lol:

For tackle/dribbled past % is a lower number better? Find it surprising that Thiago Silva is so high and Ake is so low. Maguire being dribbled past less than VVD also seems strange.

I am a little bit scared of this signing but it’s only based on watching him play twice vs Ajax.

He was involved in almost all Ajax goals and in a lot of chances. Granted this is usually the case for a centreback. What stood out for me with Gabriel is how he was always looking at the bal, and not what was happening around him. He always tried to stay in the shape of the defense and keep an eye on the ball. But he never looked at the attackers around him, he was completely unaware of players around him. I don’t know if it’s because he’s used to counter attacking football and not overloads like Ajax do a lot but it worries me. I will try and find long highlights of the games to show you what I mean.

Hm no it seems it's the percentile ranking, so the higher the better. I mean personally I think it's a bit tricky to judge CB's just by stats so I wouldn't base an entire opinion of Gabriel based on this, but it's useful to show he ranks similarly to other top CB's.

A lot of it is about the intangibles, y'know, what's his motivation like, what are his ambitions, would he fit into the squad, could he be a leader, can he speak English and communicate with his teammates, can he withstand pressure and recover from mistakes.

But seems like he has all the raw materials you want in a top CB.
