Stansfield seems like a good player, but was in a hot streak of finishing last season ( i.e. he scored significantly over his xG , and it's usually expected that can't be sustained over a longer period)
also looking at his stats he does very well with things like pressing from the front and carrying the ball forward, but there isn't much evidence that he can be an effective aerial presence.
of course you'd have to look into that deeper to see if it's just something that isn't in his game, or more a reflection of how the team were looking to use him.

I know you’re wired differently and despise the current board over an association football top, but perhaps be a Incy wincy a bit more positive
About what?
Robertson not City’s number one choice midfielder?
https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/f...n-city-4720288
is there any indication whether Robertson would be a permanent move or a loan?
Permanent I believe.
Good of a reporter to speak for the club and potentially feck up a transfer.
Think the journalist concerned is something of a Dalman mouthpiece.
But 'think' is the operative word there. Ask ourself why would Dalman deliberately brief to potentially sabotage a signing? It's surreal.
Because a player who was being touted as a dead cert to be coming here a week or so ago is edging towards choosing Portsmouth over us?
Rob Phillips is saying Hull could be in for Robertson as well.
Hull are in for everyone!
Witcoop saying an unnamed championship club has had a 1.3m bid accepted for Sory Kaba
I hope it's not us.
he will chip in with a few goals , so that's not a bad price.
unlikely to be any resale value at his age hence it isn't higher.
I had a phone call this morning.
No. Because the journo made the statement and a club we are in contention with are now using it as a lever to make him think he will be better off going to them. In my view that can only be a bad thing.
Do you know for a fact that the player is 'edging towards choosing Portsmouth over us?' and is he doing it because of the comment or was he 'edging' before?
There would be no need for Dalman brief him to say what he said, if the club are not that interested all they need to do is stop talking to his agent.
I start training on Monday.
Do you think they will notice my walking stick?
Haha! You can jump on the back of my mobility scooter! They need a striker duo up front. It’s hacked too so it’s pretty fast in a straight line. Cardiff was a no go for me because the reverse switch is a bit dodgy and didn’t pass the club MOT.
As long as you don’t get tackled by a cone in training like Ojo did, you should be fine 🤞
Such is their appeal of having no letters in the club name that can be coloured in.
Bulut’s just signed the cone.
Then fined it a week's wages for getting forward too often.
