North Leeds Fox Posted 4 June 2021 Share Posted 4 June 2021 Would be a sensible transfer. The only pl player to make over 40 blocks, interceptions, clearances and tackles this season. He also was a ball playing defender in his Brentford days so would be a good addition. Burnley need to sell at least 1 or 2 a season due to their owners buying the club with the clubs cash reserves so think it would be good all around, as long as it didn't stop us really investing in the forward areas.

Would be a fitting end to his tenure, the market leaders finishing him off 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozartfox Posted 4 June 2021 Share Posted 4 June 2021 Cash needed in more pressing areas. Cheaper option is to somehow get Benko fit in mind and body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you think it cost 6 million dollars to fix Steve Austin in the 70s, then the cost to get Benko up and running today is going to be astronomical Edited 4 June 2021 by Dahnsouff 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MGLCFC Posted 4 June 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 4 June 2021 We all saw that without Evans we looked very open and lacking leadership and organisation at the back (Cup final was an exception). Whilst I think Fofana and Soyuncu can play well together, for every good game that they have, they are just as likely to have a poor one. That is just the nature of inexperience. I'd welcome Tarkowski, as not only does this mean we have 4 quality centre halves, but also at 28 he is not too old to be Evans' natural successor in a couple of years. He will then be 30 and would likely still have another 4 good years left. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sankey93 Posted 4 June 2021 Share Posted 4 June 2021 Tarkowski be a good signing imo. He’s good on the ball. He’s a big lad aswell so will help with our dreadful defending at set pieces. Also injects some English into the team which you need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SouthStandUpperTier Posted 4 June 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 4 June 2021 Turn your nose up all you like, but I think he's the kind of player we need. With Kasper's apparent vulnerability when the ball is in the air he needs a little more help. As good as Cags and Little Wes are, they are both soft as shite in the air.

turlo Posted 4 June 2021 Share Posted 4 June 2021 Can't complain bringing an experienced defender in who will improve our squad depth. Bring Tarks on against Newcastle and Spurs when Evans/Fofana were injured and we don't lose either of those games. Really hope spending 15-20 mill on a new CB doesn't mean we have less to spend on new attacking players though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Loyal Posted 4 June 2021 Share Posted 4 June 2021 Really think he'll do ok here. Palace spend a fortune on wages btw, Dyche would probably easily double his wages by going to Palace, plus get to live close to London if that's his thing. Huge rebuild job though, won't be easy.

I truly think his main problem is because he plays for Burnley, it absolutely shouldn't be, but he's good enough to be on that plane. With Fofana, Evans and Soyuncu, I didn't think we'd need this guy.. but with one of those 3 out, we are very short on quality players to come in. Is he going to want to come in and sit on the bench though? Or is he good enough to displace one of the current starters?

The_77 Posted 4 June 2021 Share Posted 4 June 2021 We need someone steady who cleans up on aerial duals; we saw how Big Wes stepped in and helped us close out Chelsea in the final. As others have mentioned, our backline isn’t the same without Evans; now that he’s getting older, we need someone to fill that role. Tarkowski would be perfect.

Master Fox Posted 4 June 2021 Share Posted 4 June 2021 Absolute must. He’s a great player. Personally I think he’s better than Cags who ultimately cost us again. Two seasons running Cags turned calamity king 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
