He's helping us beat diddy teams but he's not helping us beat Celtc (or doing much of note in CL matches). I don't think we need to spend that much to beat the likes of Motherwell and Hibs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've already completely ruled out Potter as a manager for us, whilst suggesting Moyes is not the worst option. Your football takes are on shaky ground... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we need to spend that much to beat the likes of Motherwell and Hibs. No one's doing that - most aren't even helping against the diddies! He is a superb talent, already, at 20-years-old. In a couple of years he'll be worth a lot more than £5M. I think he's worth more than that now. We spent £5M on Yilmaz, btw. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,714 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 He's played that lot four times (I think) but still hasn't learned that there's no time to dwell on the ball. I'm not seeing enough improvement to validate that sort of fee. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not seeing enough improvement to validate that sort of fee. Is that it then? A 20-year-old dwells on the ball a wee bit in four, one-off games so he's not and never will be good enough? That's silly. Not quite as bad as the temper tantrums shown by those wanting MB gone, but it's not far off. To be honest, I think a large part of it is him not having options on the ball, which is more of a team issue. I've complained about that before. A lot of our players play of-the-cuff, rather than as a team. For me, Tillman is worth more than £5M now. We could sign him in August and flip him in January for double. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're putting words in my mouth. He may well be good enough. He may not. In my view, the risk of it not working out is too high (based on performances across the whole season) to be spending millions on him. I wonder what Beale thinks.

Yes, but it helps me make you look stupid. Like I said, I think he's worth more than £5M now. There's no risk, for me. 'Based on performances across the whole season' and assuming he doesn't improve at all - unlikely - he's worth £5M. IMO. I think MB likes him. Did he not say somewhere that he wants to do the deal? I might be wrong. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,714 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I think Beale did say he's keen to get Tillman signed a few weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
