Tanganga

[CrookesBlade]

I liked him initially, seemed to have a bit of aggression but he’s been really disappointing as the season has gone on. Seems to get smaller when he jumps.

I am holding on to the hope that, at 23, if he can be paired with somebody like Harry Souttar he could do us a job. Any talk of moving him on is fanciful, nobody likely to offer him the wages or anywhere close to clawing back some of the fee.

It is depressing after spending £13 million or so on two centre halves we will need to recruit another two this summer because they aren’t up to the job.

He was good at Millwall which says to me he needs an experienced player next to him to talk him through games. I was hoping he was that player. You're right: his positional sense is woeful. His concentration too. And for a big guy he's a bit nesh

Very rarely watched him at Millwall so I can't comment, thought he was shit at spurs in the games I saw and I just see him for us and think he's terrible

 

[LBA_Blade]

Truly awful. Don't know what's happened to him. Looked great first few games

Alongside experience he is ok such as Mee but when he needs to lead the CB/defence or even in his case the team he isn’t up for that.

 

[Bladesman]

He's checked out, this isn't the Tanganga from earlier in the season.

 

[Lightsoot]

Well done give yourself a big pat on the back

Is that you admitting you talk garbage? Long overdue.

I don't think it is any coincidence that he looks far worse when playing alongside McGuinness.

 

[VictoryBlade]

We should have gone for Jake Cooper, more a Morgan type player! (and would have cost a lot less)

McGuinness would'nt even look thretening in a Netbal side (no insult intended)

He's 27, so in reality at or approaching his peak.

With the right player alongside he's ok, to the same extent Jackie Longthrow was. With Bindon he looked ok defensively, with McGuinness less so. He needs to work on his passing through, every ball is played behind the receiving player, slowing down progression and allowing the opposition defence to reset.

He's absolutely not captain material though.

Because I disagreed with you digging out a player mid match 2 months ago and you felt the need to bring it back up? shut up you clown.

Has he been good this season? No of course he hasn’t but you could say that and start a thread about pretty much the full squad if you wanted to, as they all underperformed or simply not good enough.

could swear somebody told me he was 23!

Yeah a really strange choice for captain. I’m never usually that bothered who is captain and prefer to European approach of just handing the armband to the oldest player, but he really seems to offer nothing in the role.

Like the ‘McAtee pants down’ thread you created? The fount of all knowledge?

He’s obviously forgotten about that, takes some front to call other people out about something when you have made an arse of yourself like that .

Agreed with that in the sense of captain in football doesn’t really come with any responsibilities other than the coin toss. Any pro should be able to lead by example and also be competent in their duties

 

[CaptainMorgans]

I wanted us to sign him... reality is, he's shite. Proper shite as well.

Hopefully someone we manage to move on, but as with most Summer signings - who's taking them?

 

[Blademan89]

Dunne Vesteegard cooper ... back 3 next season with mcallum who can jump higher than all them at lwb, add Crooks into midfield as well.... we might, just might be able to defend corners and actually score 1 or 2 ourself.

Agreed, hes not very good is he and he looks like he has a right attitude problem.

 

[BeardyBlade]

What happened to us buying leaders from the league below? Mr T isn’t a leader, looks like he should be and can chuck a good tackle in know and again, but way too ratty, poor attitude, more money wasted. Sick of us signing players from teams that either have our pants down financially, or we get dross purely because they are available apposed to some sort of master plan.
