Interest must be real even TSN is on it.
If 4 mill net is accurate (and dimarzio is the gold standard), then he'd be down 1 mill net, assuming his contract is the same every year here.
Could very well even out if his salary dips the last couple of years here as mlse have done in past.
Anyways let's just get him out I'll pay for his flight lmao.
So, new formation, perhaps...
-----------Owuso-----------
--Insigne - Osorio - Cassius--
------Ibarra---- Coello--------
Petretta----Makila-----Rosted-----JMR
------------Johnson------------
Bench: Gutierrez, Servania, Franklin, O’Neill, Kerr, Thompson, Romero
(dispose Sapong, Vasquez, Bradley)
I have a sent a note asking about Besiktas. We shall see, I guess. Might not tell me.
To put to bed notions otherwise, I will note that Owusu was discovered by their new analytics specialist, Kausti.
Kausti first name, Kausti last name? I don't know. Quick search didn't help. Hernandez told him what they were looking for, Kausti breaks down the numbers, their Euro scout Colin goes and checks him out.
I am told this rebuild is the the first time they've used all three levels related to selecting a player properly, rather that it just coming from the AGM or head of scouting.
One year ago everyone was so excited with the arrival of Insigne and Berna, and look how that turned out. The last successful DP signing was Poz and that was back in 2019. As long as Manning is around why is there any reason to believe that a turn around is possible?
KAUST is the acronym of a big Saudi university. A quick google search reveals they are doing a soccer analytics AI thing. Suspect this is what TFC may be using.

It's a crowdsourced tech, and for those who know anything about that, this is a widely debated corner of AI, where there is a lot of skepticism (how “good” is the data in these data sets?)

"There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing. You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and daring." - Johan Cruyff
