Confirmed Signing James Tarkowski

[GoldenToffee]

He's a £30m defender we got for free.

Pure quality.

The ability to do those passes mskes it way harder fur the opposition to simply block the centre mids off too mate, they have to drop that bit deeper

…and this is where blend comes in because it’s even more useful if you have forwards who can come short & are comfortable receiving the ball with their backs to goal.

It's all about chemistry and forming partnerships on the same wavelength mate.

It's why I REALLY like having Dele here, I think he's actually a very intelligent player and the more you have of those the better

It's also why I wasn't gutted to see Richy go, I never thought he 'improved' any player around him, it was very much individual effort from him

Lampard should make him captain. Do what Villa + Arsenal have done. Make a statement that things have changed.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Least we have one person in that defence actually communicating now

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Tell 'em, Tarks...

Warrior.

The good thing about that tackle and the way you get away with it is [YOU HAVE SHOWN THE REF YOU GOT THE BALL] and any follow thru was a slide .

I’m amazed one of the teams that bid fairly big for him a year or two ago didn’t come in and throw him a big contract. Their loss is definitely our gain. Captain material for sure.

I agree that he shouldn't be considered as a captain - yet. Coleman is the club captain and while he's here that should remain - but if he isn't playing then I think it's Mina. I'd never give it to a goalie. Waste of an influencial role in the middle or defence.
Our title winning teams all had 4 or 5 captains - just not necessarily in name. All good teams should have that.
But Tarky will get it at some point.

Cant give it to Yerri as he wont play 3 games on the bounce. Needs to be someone Frank sees as starting every game and Tarks would be the obvious choice for me.

The sad thing is, if he has a foreign sounding name you'd all be purring for him
