The 36m viewership figure is simply his total revenue figure divided by the £m per viewers number in the right hand column. It is far from data science. It is meant as a "what if" And for the third time it will make more sense if you actually read the article instead of asking me questions about it :eek:

And getting Game-Time as well as Experience, is the most Important Thing right now, for a Young Player like Wisdom. I mean, just look at Kelly. If we are not going to loan Wisdom, then he's going to be like him. Always at Liverpool, but rarely gets to play.

It's hard to know with young players, we'd all written off Flanagan last season (nobody wanted to take him on even for a loan) and we'd nothing much to go on for that, it wasn't as if he was on loan at a good standard or anything like that. Sterling got criticised too, even when he came in for his first couple of games, just because he wasn't tearing it up he's shyte, or similar stuff. The problem was he was playing well enough, our play just wasn't as good as it later became for him to blossom. And well, he was a bit rusty after 6 months or more out of first team football. We get criticised for our use of the loan system and rightly so. Ibe hardly got much time at Birmingham, same happened with a few youths over the last few seasons. This one seems exactly the right thing to do, send him to a good coach (McClaren is despite his faults) at a good standard, now send him to a EPL club with a manager and coach Rodgers seems to know and rate, knows he'll be in good hands. So, there's a balance between sending them to lower leagues, getting little experience and then expecting them to be ready for the squad, or doing a Chelsea which doesn't seem to work either. They can afford to waste tens of millions invested in the youth set up, we can't. We need to be getting a couple of good prospects coming through every season. Manquillo, if you look at it a different way, could well be a "loan to see how Wisdom gets on" type thing, if Wisdom does well not much need to buy him, or if both do well, cheerio Glenjo. I do rate Wisdom, think he's the potential to be a decent squad player at the very least. Did very well all things considered when played for the first team in big matches when he got thrown in at the deep end.

Is there any player we can get in that will wind up opposing fans as much as the now departed Luis?

They take a massive chunk of the available money. None of the also rans have it nearly as well in spain as the also rans in england. The spanish equivalent of aston villa would be getting a pittance compared to villa are.
