As an MLS fan I have plenty of experience with TFC's expensive designated players being past-it defensive midfielders, which was definitely a contributing factor to why we were awful for so longBodacious Benny wrote:Good point.I'm over Colo wrote:Also, Tiote is hardly a sexy signing for clubs - highly paid defensive midfielders don't go over well in leagues where you can only afford to overpay a few players, so he probably isn't even asking for (much) more than what we're paying him. But I can understand why Chinese or middle eastern clubs don't want to pay up for him.

We had people at a recent Lech Poznan game scouting some lad called Tamas Kadar, according to the Chron, anyone heard of him?

Ha! I mean, we definitely weren't doing a good job promoting/transitioning youth players into the side then (or ever since), so I don't know if him leaving really means much at all. Similarly, other than seeing him play internationally since, I don't have much to go on to judge his current ability either.

Don't have much to go on, but I always thought he had potential here but was never given a chance. A bit like Tavernier.
I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?
Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (January 2017)
Was it Kinnear who was scouting Milner when we'd loaned him to Villa? Or Wise? My timeline is confused...

I thought that about Tavernier but the consensus seems to be that he has great technique but can't defend. Surprisingly I think our staff were right to get rid.Bodacious Benny wrote:Don't have much to go on, but I always thought he had potential here but was never given a chance. A bit like Tavernier.
As for Kadar, he impressed me at the Euros but I don't think he's particularly better than what we've got.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.
Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (January 2017)
Easily worth £30m +. Future England captain and one of the leading centre halves in world football for years to come. He's not quite there year but only a year or two away. Especially under Rafas masterful guidance.
I'm not sure i'd sell him at any price if he wants to stay. If Chelsea turn his head then hold out for around. £50 million.
