alexf Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Tino is a strange one. On the ball and going forward he's generally abit awkward. His crossing is rarely any good and he can't shoot to save his life. But when he decides to burst forward occasionally he can be really dynamic. Ofcourse defensively he's a monster who can shut down pretty much any winger and gives us that recovery pace at the back that until Thiaw arrived we severely lacked. So he's really important to us but what I'm saying is, I can imagine if a City or Arsenal did sign him, I bet their fans are first would be like "we paid £80m+ for this guy, really?" Because his true value doesn't really show through on initial viewing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagSA Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I would elevate them both to close to our top level earners and on long term deals.....not that long term deals by themselves carry the weight you expect them to when title challengers come sniffing but it makes it more difficult to exit. At the same time we need to show we are making significant strides towards being consistently in the CL as a start. Increase revenues and investments in infrastructure, academy and playing squad. Something that should be keeping our CEO up at night. Really dont care about the lip service towards 2030 or beyond. I would like to know what your deliverables are within 6months, 1 yr, 2 yrs so we see incremental progression instead of pie in the sky talk of league titles and best in the world at a future date when he is most likely not going to be around to account for why it didn't happen. Still not sure how I started with Tino and Hall and ended up with the CEO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t play through Hall the way we played through Trippier Partly because Tripps had Bruno on his side helping control the play. Hall has Joelinton, he's never going to be able to do what Bruno does on the ball in terms of bringing others into the game and providing spaces/passing opportunities.

p_cowell141 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Trips - finished Livra - seems to be always injured Burn - knackered Schar - even more knackered Botman - recently knackered and not back to himself Thiaw - thankfully okay Hall - thankfully okay but recently knackered We need to be signing defenders now. Signing. Not monitoring, considering, lining up, tracking, evaluating, weighing up, or preparing. Goodness me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Yeah this is one of those times where we need to consult the list of scouted players if we have one and then just go and grab what we need. Fee agreed, medical booked and done in 24-48 hours. We need the numbers. It's just going to be Matt Targett recalled isn't it? Then he will be missing anyway because his eczema will flair up Edited January 10 by alexf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
