He’s never played in a side that demands the level of footballing ability that we ask from our centre backs, that combined with his age and the figure being touted gives me a bad feeling about this potential transfer. It’s a massive no from me. He was terrific at Brentford, where he was required to pass the ball and set up transitions. That’s what got him the attention. He’s very comfortable with the ball, it’s not his fault he currently plays in a low block and he’s asked to launch it to beat the press. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyBoy Posted 28 September 2020 Share Posted 28 September 2020 no thanks for Tarkowski. He has played for Burnley for years he isn't going to be that next step to get us top 4 regularly. He is the defenders equivalent of Zaha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if Evans is not going to sign a new contract. I'd be amazed if he didn't sign a new deal. His family are settled in the midlands and we pay him 80k a week, which he won't better anywhere else without surrendering his status in the first team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may not be offering him that salary on his next deal ?? he got 80k/week together with a nice s/o fee because we bought him for a song from West Brom ...

To me he's worth every penny. Our defence is so much better and well organised when Evans plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the defenders equivalent of Zaha I don't think we should mark him down for playing at Burnley - Vardy was at Fleetwood at a similar age. Can be a good grounding - I think he is a decent player and might have been in the England Squad earlier at a bigger club Edited 28 September 2020 by Edingleyfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the wages are too high and we're considering phasing him out of the 1st team, get him his coaching badges and keep him as a player coach. Rodgers already calls him a coach on the pitch, make it official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 28 September 2020 Share Posted 28 September 2020 i think it would be top trolling of the highest order to sign Tarks and fofana. Top could then be like “ ahhhhhh! you thought we were skint, suckers! and we’d all laugh about it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our experienced first choice players continue to get pay rises, so I would be very surprised if we took Evans for granted and tried to get him to take a pay cut. Vardy and Schmeichel are both on £100-150k a week. Maybe we don't want to go all in on a 3+ year deal at that amount but Rodgers regards him as our most important defender.

Leicester_Loyal Posted 28 September 2020 Share Posted 28 September 2020 If we get Tah or Fofana, then we could revisit this in a few months time and get him for much cheaper than 40m. I guess it largely depends on Evans and how long we think he's got left at the top, it must be another 2 years minimum surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 28 September 2020 Share Posted 28 September 2020 If we can stretch to get him in now, then we should do so. Integration is underrated, especially with our tight knit group. Worked wonders for Soyuncu (conveniently ignoring Benkovic as he does not fit my narrative). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispinLA in Texas Posted 28 September 2020 Share Posted 28 September 2020 Everyone also thought Michael Keane was great at Burnley but was found out at Everton. Defenders stats always look good when Burnley ply with 11 men behind the ball. Keane was rubbish the first few years at Everton playing to different system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
