2025/26 Tim Iroegbunam


By far and away our best tackler. I think his positioning has improved but he's still guilty of switching off. He's clearly improving though, which is all you can ask for. He's played nowhere near as much football as Garner and Gueye, which needs to be remembered.
 
I’m not sure he will, Gana is still pretty amazing, but very good to have options for rest/rotation and players competing for spots.

I love gana but I think the league and his age is starting to catch up with him.

He’s been incredible for us in both spells, and is still an option, I just think there are better options to start.

They couldn’t get the ball off him when he was driving forward, and he was breaking up their play and sticking tackles in for fun - just think he offers us more going forward than Gana does.
 
Also apparently his shirt number is in tribute to his playing idol Yaya Toure and that is EXACTLY the player I would want him watching clips of, given his physical tools.
I must have compared his driving ability to Yaya a million times. Glad he sees that in himself as he has that kind of potential. That is the type of player he reminds me of. If he can be our Yaya, that kind of ability will break games wide open. We lack that counter attacking threat without him.
