Confirmed Signing James Tarkowski

[TheBigIguana]

Well If you cant see he's a leader ?

Yeah I've seen him talking and motioning his arms

Yeah I've seen him talking and motioning his arms

Oh ok then.

 

[Nyhus]

Not wanting to back big oil here, but giving the armband in any capacity to someone who hasnt played a single competative match for the club is not sending the right signal to the other players.

Proper leader. Out there organising left right and centre.

Or arguably it sends the signal that they appear to have ignored for years. Mediocre or worse isn’t acceptable.

Yeah sorry to be agreeing but that's it in a nutshell.

If it were Sergio Ramos or something ok but not James Tarkowski

But what about the ones like Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Pickford who largely aren't that?

 

[Shibbywiggles]

I just can't get past how amateur hour we'd look as a club if we did that

Thiago Silva captained Chelsea on his Premier League debut
If they’re captain material, let them lead

No that’s okay though, he’s won a trophy. Apparently that’s a prerequisite now.

Yes, THIAGO SILVA, did. That's the point.

 

[maccavennie]

Yes, THIAGO SILVA, did. That's the point.

If I put JORDAN PICKFORD or DOMINIC CALVERT LEWIN in capital letters does that make them more captain material than JAMES TARKOWSKI?

TOM DAVIES has been at Everton for years so maybe he should be captain.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Yes, THIAGO SILVA, did. That's the point.

Yeah I since read your further pre-requisites you added after
I like Pickford and Dom but none of them have achieved anything with us, the same way Tarkowski hasn’t achieved anything with us. Whoever is the best role model, pro, organiser and leader on the pitch should be captain.
I don’t like strikers as captains as they’re ahead of most of the play and as much as I love Pickford as a keeper, his default is shouting and pointing rather than organising ahead of danger so yeah, Tarkowski for me.

 

[Zatara]

Takeaway from the posts after the game is that @TheBigIguana doesnt want a natural leader as the captain...

...because he's not got a fancy image.

This is all too Conor Coady for me.

 

[Paul Rideout]

I never expected him to get that assist ngl

Brilliant
