Li Tie - why?

[Come from away]

Just watching Li Tie play against the USA. He works hard on defence, makes himself available going forward, shows great skill and every pass goes to his man - don't remember seeing that from anyone last year. If he stays fit, can't understand why we would let him go. NW liked English, maybe a little too much.

Speaking as an evertonian mate, the lad had skill but was too slow in his thinking for the english game. If he had time on the ball he could pick a good pass out but as you know you dont get much time in the prem and you certainly dont get it in the championship

He is worth a try i think.

I mean the bloke aint played a league game for us yet.

Although i must admit he could struggle in the championship.

We saw him in the Reserves last year and I would have to agree... he depended a great deal on those around him (Morgan sticks out in my mind as having a go) to boss him around and his positional awareness and reactions were slow - and that was just against Barnsley reserves!

His passing was good but I think he would suffer from concentration lapses that could prove costly.

Maybe a different manager in Robson would get something better out of him?

Get your point but the USA had China under constant pressure, he had quite a few one or two-touch passes; nothing slow about his reactions. What he did not do was boot it 40 yards down field.

Didnt he get like 12 assists for everton in his first season?

That makes a change most our players tend to do that.
