"You are correct it's simple maths
Twice the player would score twice the goals twice as quickly"
No he wouldn't.
It's simple maths, twice the goals to game ratio means he'd have to score twice the goals in the same time or the same amount of goals in half the time, to do both is much more than twice.
Who in the world gave you a degree?!
A 10m square is twice the square of a 5m square
------------------------------------------
No it's not, a 5m square is a quarter of the size. I hope you don't fit carpets at your house, they'll be big borders all the way round.

You lot are claiming that being twice as good in one asset makes someone twice the player
That's incorrect
And you know it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well technically, you can't judge somebody to be exactly twice the player but what is implied is he'd have twice the goals to games ratio.
And you know it.

The claim was he is twice the player Costa is
Not that he would score twice the goals
Twice the player would score twice the goals twice as quikly
To be twice the player everything would need to be doubled
In the example of Costa, both goals scored and games taken would need to be factored in
You cannot pick one asset and double it and then claim the player is twice the player
What the fúck is, this the maths board?

Absolute nonsense.
If he were twice the player he'd be twice the overall ability of the other player. You know what was implied and knowing you've got it all wrong, you're trying to twist it. Even with the twist you've put on it, you've still got it wrong.
I sincerely hope there aren't too many others like you who somehow got a degree or we're doomed.
For Falcao to be TWICE the player Costa is
He needs to score double goals in double quick time

You are correct it's simple maths
Twice the player would score twice the goals twice as quickly
If he only scores twice the goals but does everything the same he is not twice the player at all.
That's simple maths
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, you're wrong Benji. If you wanted to measure two separate things (e.g. goalscoring and assists) then you'd say he has to score twice the number of goals and supply twice the number of assists to be a better player all round.
But to say he has to score twice the number of goals, in half the time, is measuring the same thing twice. He's already scored more goals in the same amount of time, which means he scores goals more quickly. Therefore, there's no need to measure the speed of his goals AGAIN. You're measuring the same thing twice, pal.

Stop it, you're killing me!
So if I was twice the worker as my colleague & I generated £200 a day, my colleague would earn £50 a day as I earn twice as much in half the time?
By your maths, my boss would have to replace me with 4 people to earn £200 a day, not 2?

Someone said he was twice the player so would score 14 in 4
I replied saying technically that's wrong and should be 14 in 2
I've explained my logic
14 in 2 would be twice as impressive as 7 in 4 for both goals scored and games taken

No! Just no!
Please for the good of humanity - return your degree!
The thing is, I understand his logic...but it's still wrong. He's trying to say that to be twice the player he need to be twice as good at everything. But he's missing the point that measuring the number of goals (in the same amount of time) and measuring how quickly he scored those goals, is measuring the same thing twice.
The time he scored the goals in is already accounted for by the fact he did it in the same time!
he does not need a goal ratio fo 4x better to be conisdered twice as good
I give up. You win haha
In my head I know what I'm saying but I think I need a whiteboard to get this across
I understand how you guys are looking at it but I'm looking at it from a purely functional point of view
Twice the performance to me, means double output in half the time
That's not quadruple increase that's double
Toor, is there any brackets in your equation?

It doesn't matter whether you know what you're saying or not. We all know what you're saying and we all know you're wrong.
It's very very simply.
7 in 4 is 1.75 a game.
14 in 4 is 3.5 a game.
7 in 2 is 3.5 a game.
Either of these would make him twice the player according to the ratios argued. It's not even worthy of a debate, people are only doing it as they find your point equally ridiculous and hilarious.

Mate, I don't really know how this can be put any simpler. To use your terminology, twice the performance, means twice the output. If it's done in the same time then there's no need to measure the time again after that. It's very very simple.

Whatever you say bud
I get your angle, I haven't said I don't
I am just saying in my opinion twice the player does it in half the time with twice as many goals
If you think different, that's fine
It's a debate
No I think that too Conor, as I thought six. I just asked people in the office it though and oddly, the older generation all said eight. Wondered if it was just a coincidence that they were all thickos!
