RugbyCanary 94 Posted August 12, 2021 2 hours ago, Capt. Pants said: I don't think we have spent the best part of £10m on Tzolis to have him sitting around, same goes for Sargent and Rashica. I think they'll be heavily involved and so they should be. Remains to be seen whether they all start but with Emi gone and Cantwell still a possibility, I think they'll be nearer first team action than some people realise. Absolutely this!!! Plus on a aside of the CDM that some seem to think is our biggest miss of the window so far...... Sorenson, McLean, Rupp. I know not any of their first choice of position (except Sorenson), but, I do think all of them have the nouce to play in that position and play it well - if no one comes in. I would be happy to trust in farke to make a good decision on who could make the position thier own (as skipp did last season) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Wundaboy 1,358 Posted August 12, 2021 24 minutes ago, WSM said: Also in other news Billing has told the BBC he wants to stay at Bournemouth IMO, I've never really seen where he would fit - he now plays more offensively, and there are signs we aren't going to be having a CAM as much this year Think we can find for £6-10m a really good proper bull-terrier CDM I think that interest waned ages ago, PLM is a similar type of player and far cheaper! Just need that CDM and a CB now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow and Green Man 13 Posted August 12, 2021 Now that Tzolis and Sargent are in the building how about some new rumours? Can anyone pretend to be ITK about a defensive mid so I can start following dodgy twitter accounts and checking Transfermarkt obsessively 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've taken a big financial hit by not qualifying for the Champions League and need to make it up somehow. Kamara knows Pukki from playing together for Finland. It's a nailed on certain rumour.

Don't think they will go down mind think they still have enough to stay up but will be interesting seeing how they both do IMO there is no guarantee either that Armstrong is a success - they bought Che Adams from Birmingham and he hasn't really set the world alight either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm hoping it's a case of no news is goods news and Webber and Co are really on the DM case and all will be revealed soon. If it's a case of Skipp or no-one, then it could be a very uncomfortable season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,131 Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) If we were willing to spend up to 10m on Billing surely that would be enough to tempt Huddersfield to sell Lewis O'Brien? I think he's a better player than Billing, he's younger and the closest approximation to an Oli Skipp type player I saw playing for another Championship team last year. Edit: Just seen the Leeds rumors, nevermind. Edited August 12, 2021 by Christoph Stiepermann Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 397 Posted August 12, 2021 What about Gustov Hamer from Coventry? We were linked once upon a time… It might take a fair whack of cash, but he could probably nail down a spot. Certainly looks like he has the tools for the job…. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is that it will be a brutal battle between Cantwell, Idah, Placheta, Dowell, Rashica, Tzolis, Hernandez, and Sargent for about 3-4 spots AND that Farke will LOVE that. Competition is good!

sgncfc 1,221 Posted August 12, 2021 6 hours ago, Thumbbass said: On Saturday, up against Tsimikas, he will feel right at home. But agreed. Let him come on and and score a couple later in the game. I think Tzolis tends to play on the left and cut inside, so he would be up against TAA. Perhaps better to give Rashica a go against Tsimikas. Or just let Cantwell cut their entire back 4 to pieces anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paddycanary 538 Posted August 12, 2021 Tzolis' PAOK team-mates squeezed through this evening 2-0, 3-2 on aggregate. He'll be pleased about that. Nelson Oliveira subbed off after 73mins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,314 Posted August 12, 2021 We’ve not spent a record fee on a Tzolis for him to sit on the bench. He’s been playing first team football at a decent level and you can see he’s not physically weak. He will be in the first eleven soon and indeed if he tempted to Chuck him in on Saturday as a curve ball 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Tzolis will be coming in off the sub's bench is my guess P.s: so excited with this transfer! Edited August 12, 2021 by Cantiaci Canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaUnionCanary 86 Posted August 13, 2021 18 hours ago, Danke bitte said: Does anyone know, and it's a bit of a long shot I appreciate, but who would have scouted him i.e. was this part of Kieran Scott's remit before he left? If Tzolis does kick on as well as the Emi find, then Scott's got big boots to fill. Apparently SW has known about him since he was 10 or 11 years old.
