Looked to see what other players shared Wood/Tripp's agent last week, and seems their with a company called CAA Base - who are huge judging from their website and have dozens and dozens of agents working throughout Europe and up and down UK leagues. 

 

UK based players seem to be quite London centric - a lot of players with links to or back to Spurs especially. 

 

Wouldn't read too much into anything from foreign based players sharing agents - although wouldn't be a bad thing for us to now gain a reputation of being good to deal with. For years now seems like we've been a black hole when it comes to agents wanting to take their players here, and plenty of other clubs have surpassed us through being able to buddy up with agents to get first dibs on some cracking players, especially from Europe.

I really don't rate Tarkowski, he's been awful every time I've seen him play (which I admit is not that often) but from what I've seen I really don't see him as an upgrade.

He was good against Arsenal yesterday 

 

I think he's better than Lascelles and Clark but don't rate him ahead of Fernandez or Schar 

 

If we get Carlos and Tarkowski that won't be so bad but just Tarkowski would be a tad underwhelming

Don't think Tarkowski is actually a target to be honest, or ever has been.

 

He was one of the first names to be tossed out months ago by the likes of Jim White and the Talksport bunch as a solid do no wrong Premier League experience is important in a relegation battle foreigns cant be trusted to hit the ground running  sort of signing.

I'd like Bremer from Torino. Tarkowski I'm 50-50 on. Could easily see him being like Michael Keane. 

Bremer looks good, as does Sensini and Szalai. I’m sure we’ll get SOMEONE!

Agree on this - I'd be more 25-75.

 

Tarkowski has been a 'name' for quite a few seasons now. Sounds simple to say, but I think if he was that good - good enough that we should be seriously looking at above alternatives from European level clubs - he wouldn't still be playing for Burnley. A bigger and better club than us would have surely come in for him over past seasons if he really was thought to be a cut above the bottom rung of the PL - never getting a sniff from Southgate would also speak to his limitations I think as well. 

 

For £10-£15M, yeah - don't have to think twice; that would have been situation likely many times when clubs have looked at him, but he's not going to be worth the value Burnley are wanting. 

 

Keane didn't stick around at Burnley too long after coming to prominence. Tarkowski did 6 months after Keane leaving, and is still there 5 years on. Keane was a lot young, far better on the ball and has at least gone on to play for England before his career tanking.
