Re: Kion Etete- Spurs striker
Not sure how accurate this is but I got strong Alan Lee vibes watching the clips of him last season. Looks a positive signing if it comes off.

If only that had been in place to capture the (offside) goal when we played Chelsea in the Premier League.

Re: Kion Etete- Spurs striker
Starting to get a good feeling about this season. Morison seems to know what he's doing, if he really wanted Eteke then he must see him fitting in well. Hopefully the lad can have a good season and fire us into the top 6 !

If you can't get excited at the start of a football season when can you?
Think Morison has done a tough job very well so far, if either etete or watters click we could surprise a few !

I admire your enthusiasm, though we'll see about Norwich being the best side in the league next May.

Re: Kion Etete- Spurs striker
Im far more confident after Saturday. Collins and Kipre look good signings.
Philogene seems very highly rated plus weve got Colwill and Davies as attacking options as well as hopefully a couple of newcomers.
I thought Allsopp Romeo and Sawyers would at least be solid Championship players.
I think we will finish comfortable in mid table. That and improve the football then its a good season.

I'm guessing the question of when I do get excited was a rhetorical one and you'd rather I didn't go into detail.

Maybe they'll be 2nd best, if we really get going and top the table ourselves 🤣

It's post watershed so you feel free to expand !!
I did mean it more from the point of view of my own early season excitement though, may prove to be ill founded but I've got a good feeling this year.

:hehe: Please, the last thing I want to do (nor should anyone let me) is p*ss on their parade. I'm a bit cranky for all kinds of reasons. In fact, your excitement and enthusiasm is very welcome and much appreciated. :thumbup:

found this on twitter that I thought was interesting.
massive disclaimer - these are very small sample sizes, so we shouldn't read basically anything into them - the error bars on these will be massive.
that's what we shouldn't do, but that's less fun. So let's dive into the data.
crosses - not surprising, he's playing centrally and not likely to be pinging many crosses into the box.
goals - above average for strikers in L1 but wayyy abouve the xG number, so you probably wouldn't expect him to keep scoring at that rate, not without making a big change in the other underlying numbers .
xG pretty low, probably due to the even lower number of shots he makes per game, and touches in oppo box is also really low. this is probably where we will be hoping he can improve his game. if we can get him on the ball on the box and he can start getting higher numbers of shots the xG will shoot up. obviously there are big team effects here and I've no idea how Cheltenham played when he was there.
shooting accuracy and goal conversion % is excellent, but given a very low number of shots in an already low number of games these are REALLY small sample sizes, could be promising though.
expected assists are good - which seems to tie into the video clips showing him setting up other players quite often.
he's slightly below average for aerial duels - which is a little surprising for someone if his stature, but by no means a disaster.
other defensive stats are pretty good though, especially interceptions and defensive duels, which suggests he's working hard and pressing well - which should fit into our new style.
passing stats are all really good as are dribbles (again small sample size klaxon going off). progressive passing is lower but you'd probably expect that of someone playing in a CF role as there won't be anyone ahead of you on the pitch to pass to a lot of the time.
definitely an interesting profile
