A quick Google suggests non-penalty expected goals. |  | |  |

It's a load of ballbags made up by people more interested in stats than football. |  | |  |

As far as potential signings are concerned stats backed up by an eye test over a period of time is the way to go. Stats are the backbone and skeleton, the eye test is the flesh. |  | |  |

Non-Playing expected goals. The number of times fans are convinced he would have scored when out of the team due to injury or form, when the incumbent in the player's position isn't performing that well himself. |  |

What. |  |

| Interesting thread on our new signing on 19:25 - Jul 8 with 3036 views | Guthrum | If that analysis is anywhere near correct, he sounds ideal for the kind of defensive (covering, pressing) counterattacking football we may be playing a lot of in the coming season. |  |

Or we've paid a premium to get a very good prospect to come to Ipswich. All depends how good he turns out to be. If Emersonn gets us the goals and assists to stay in the Prem, £20m is a bargain. |  |

Yup. Lesson 1 of transfers. Never pay more than the Transfermkt valuation because no player is ever worth more than their valuation of them. |  |

I think I would if someone paid my current employer £20M for my services (as well as giving me a contract commensurate with that valuation of me)! |  |

Jeez give the guy a chance! It’s certainly a ‘full’ fee, but if they weren’t willing to let him go for less than that he must have something about him! |  | |  |

I am sure tetchris was completely positive about the fees we paid for Delap and Hutchinson and isn't being at all selective just to be edgy. |  |

I hope he isn’t our main striker. He isn’t going to be anywhere near it this season, see Egeli last season. |  | |  |

I'm pretty sure that Emersonn is not intended to be our only striker signing this summer. Indeed, we might sometimes see more than one on the pitch at the same time under O'Neil. I'm also not sure that one can draw a direct parallel with Walle Egeli. Emersonn has had three seasons playing at a high level, to the former's one (and, arguably, the Danish league is not of such a high standard as those of Italy, Turkey and France). Plus there were tactical elements to SWE's issues - being played wide on the right in a system which sent almost everything down the other side. Difficult to shine when you're mostly being ignored. |  |
