toontownman Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Got an absolute gem there no doubt. What an asset. Given the injury crisis he has been worth every penny already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Say what you want about our summer window but there's no doubt this lad was an absolutely superb bit if business. Excellent footballer. Looks completely competent at left back too. Literally my only worry with him is if he picks up a recurrence of his injury.

ponsaelius Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Whoever made the Zanetti comparison is spot on. Obviously a long way to match a player of that level but stylistically extremely similar - especially now I've seen him on the left as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikky Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Hopefully we never see Tripps at LB - he struggles to play there - better off on the right Intrigued to see how Tino goes from now on at LB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflap Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Thought when he'd get his opportunity he'd show himself to be too good to leave out and we'd shoehorn him into the side somewhere. The Zanetti comparison is a nice one though a bit premature! Zanetti was my absolute favourite footballer of his era, classy as hell and with a minimum of fuss, no shithousery or silly antics, just got on with the game but what a player, had an uncanny ability to always emerge with the ball no matter how unlikely it seemed. Got left out of Argentinas World cup squad in 2006 because the coach thought he was past it at 32. Was still starting for them in the Copa America in 2011 when he was going on 38.

Miercoles Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 This dude is so legit, looked totally sound on the left, maybe not as much going forward but that's okay. Bad news for Hall, I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucasol Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 If the Jury is still out on Hall then it needn’t be on Tino, think he’s going to be a great signing for us, both for the now and in future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the Jury will be out on Hall until midway through next season and deservedly so. He’s a great prospect but his development was never close to what Tino’s was pre-injury. Expect them both to be great for us but Tino is on a different level, good chance he becomes one of our best three players for years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
500bhp Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 When we signed him a Southampton work colleague said we've signed the new Bale. Said he'll start as full back then move into midfield then further forward just as Bale did. Hope he's right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say I ever paid enough attention to Bale’s early years to know what his defending was like. He goes on some marauding runs. But had plenty of times to beat his man inside or out today. But was sensible in possession instead. Doesn’t scream a Bale type player to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand why, Tripps has some experience on the left but it's clear Tino can play there and getting him on the pitch is a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
