CONFIRMED Tahith Chong signs from Luton Town

[Blade58]

How long a contract have we given him?

 

[Kev Gee]

Good signing!

Still relatively young and has his best years ahead.

Let's hope he can stay fit!

 

[loyalblade95]

How long a contract have we given him?

4 years I think.

 

[Champagneblade]

Of all the signings to get over the line quickly this probably wouldn't have been my pick.

must have taken them ages just to get his full name on the contract!

Feels a bit like a Hamer insurance move if I’m honest.

If Hamer stays, you have Chong, you don’t bother with Redmond. If Hamer goes, you maybe add Redmond too.

Not bad planning to be honest apart form nobody will make Hamer’s numbers for stats plus goals.

 

[Blade58]

4 years I think.

4? That seems a long contract?

 

[BangorBlade]

This would be my main worry,given that he had a groin op earlier in his career.

United's update on Chong operation

Tahith has undergone groin surgery after picking up an injury during his loan spell at Birmingham City.

Hopefully the International break will give him chance to catch up a bit

Chong for Hamer would be a pretty significant downgrade though.

However if we manage to bring in Solomon as well, then this might actually work out in our favour. As much as I would hate losing Hamer.

WTF is happening

 

[Racing Blade]

Can remember thinking he looked good against us for Birmingham.

Three relegations on his CV is a bit worrying though.

Definitely got the Hamza vibe about him. Can't quite put my finger on why though

 

[robbiez666]

I'll reserve judgement but good to have another permanent signings on the books.

 

[Maurice Maurice]

Keep him fit and motivated and he'll be a great addition. If he's at it, he's a lot better player than Rak Sayki.

 

[bonobo]

Ive always liked him when I have seen him intermittently over the years and fancied him as someine we might sign. But then there always seems to have been a downward trajectory with questions over his attitude. Seems like a job for a manager with good man management and maybe settling on what his best role is. But I do like that at the least he always seems to be tidy in the ball, which is a quality we really need, to improve our possession.

[VictoryBlade]

I heard we are in for a new Hospital Porter as well, apparently his patient pushing skills are world class and should be of benefit to TD & JS for the rest of the season.

Ah Porter eh?

 

[Torrix1889]

Three relegations on his CV is a bit worrying though.

Not done Ramsdale any harm!!

 

[Aston max]

I'm a bit underwhelmed with this signing ( hope to be pleasantly surprised)

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Hello Gus

Hello Gus

Could possibly know each other. Don’t know if their time at Feyenoord overlapped but were both there in 2016

Redmond for Hamer would be the biggest downgrade in the clubs history. I would imagine our interest in Cian Ashford is linked to a potential Hamer move. Hopefully there are others on the list, as Ashford would take time to develop into a top Championship player.

 

[SUFCinks]

Looks decent from this showreel but i must be honest I know absolutely nothing about him beyond this.

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

He had decent moments in the PL with Luton tbf.

Don't mind the signing bit not exactly tearing up any trees either.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Hope Chong and Ings both start v Boro. I've got a good feeling we'll get points on the board and climb above Wendy.

 

[wavy-blade]

Hamers replacement !

I don’t think there’s any chance of Chong starting.

Looks like he's going for the Carlos Valderrama look. Expecting lots of 5 yard sideways passes.

 

[Jordo Blade.]

Personally I don't see Brooks as a winger, more of a cantre/wide midfield area. So basically where Hamer or O'Hare are playing now.

Brooks just doesn't have dribbling or consistent good crossing in his skillet but he drives well with the ball and he can go box to box.

Agree 100% with all this mate.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

I don’t think there’s any chance of Chong starting.

Don't tell me he's injured already.

 

[Stretch]

Chong is a very talented and versatile player, who thrives in running at defenders and creating chances.

Like Barry, and perhaps Brooks, whether he can do it consistently at this level remains to be seen, but that's down to the coaching staff.

Solomon on top of those three would be fantastic.
