xLiaaamx Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I don't see Tarkowski as an upgrade on Jamaal at all, I see them as very similar, but I'd grudgingly accept it it means we can money launder a bit in to use elsewhere. Lascelles and Fede have both played left side, which Tarkowski really can't is something worth considering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be aiming a lot higher than that man. A centre back for a team who could be relegated, someone who never gets a game for a dreadful Man Utd and a crock who isnt playing under Lampard I rate Calvert-Lewin. If fit hes really good. But i agree if thats the signings top 10 is not nailed on at all. They are not bad or fantastic, but we need quality. If Calvert-Lewin is ready and fit he can score goals, but we need Diaby, Phillips, Badiashile signings not english old players on the way down.

I'll back any player who signs and I trust Howe to get the best out of them, I just don't don't see what quality Tarkowski brings to the squad that we don't already have. I think at this stage in his career he's at a similar standard to Lascelles. we can replace like for like with a bit of profit from the sale of Lascelles.

He can't play left side or he's just rarely been tried there because Mee plays nearly all the time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Mee has been injured a fair bit this season and whenever Tarkowski moves over to cover he's been noticeably worse than he is on the right.

I do think we will be largely aiming for talents similar to Bruno like he said. So players that the bigger clubs have looked at but are maybe not quite 100% certain on, and whose value is still relatively reasonable for their ability.

Thumbheed Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 4 hours ago, SUPERTOON said: I think most agree with that, it’s if Tarkowski would be first choice it would be an issue. Can understand why people might feel this way, but after seeing Schär and even Krafth transformed I'd be content with on on form Tarkowski at the heart of the defence.

I know we’re no longer under Ashley but I’m still surprised at the level of player people seem to be turning their noses up at. For me the likes of Schmeichel, Tarkowski, Calvert-Lewin are all players who will improve the squad and see us pushing top 7. We’ve got a huge rebuild on our hands and can’t go and spend £30-40m per player. Schmeichel has been one of the best keepers in the league the last 6-7 years, Tarkowski imo upgrades Fernandez and Lascelles. Think he’d be a sensible short-term option.

STM Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Schmeichel is shite now? Honestly winds me up the shit people talk. Schmeichel would transform our distribution from the back and he's an absolute boss of a leader. Leicester have had a shite season and conceded loads of goals but that might have been due to their chronic injuries at the back rather than their goalkeeper. What if, and I know this is crazy, the club see Schmeichel as a great option for a couple of years before we find the next Allison/Ederson. I know my scouting isn't the greatest but last time I checked world class progressive goalkeepers don't grow on trees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Really like Schmeichel as a keeper, although not sure about signing a 35 yr old. Still he doesn't look it, and as of now he's still one of the best keepers in the Premier IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Howe very specifically mentions bringing down the age of the squad in his latest presser. The rumors involving older players might not be as solid as they seem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
