STEPPS BOY 74,314 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Looks a class act when played as the 10 but the nonsense of playing him as a winger/wide forward needs to stop. Agree with others about too early to judge, let’s see how he is in middle of winter at Dingwall.

Enjoyed Tav having a quiet word with him right after he almost gave away a pen. Didnt need to be a bollocking, just a quiet word to calm him down. When he scored Tav celebrated with him then after all the other players finished celebrating Tav was there to have another word as he moved back with Kent for the kick off.

BlueAvenger 10,331 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I will get pelters but I must admit I thought he was awful in the first half and should never be playing on the wing again. Improved in the second half when moved position. He gets caught on the ball a lot but I’m sure he will learn and improve. I’ll reserve judgment for now.

He offers a lot more central and needs to get a run in that position. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sensible thing to do is obviously to assess him over a longer period of time first. Agreed, yes, the class looks out the lad but we’ve been here before, especially with young players we’ve had on loan. Remember Lassana Coulibaly. He looked fucking incredible the first 4 or 5 games, especially in Europe, then was absolute dug shite thereafter (although I think his Dad was terminally ill which would have effected him) HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 6 hours ago, fuckthespl said: I read that the fee is about £1.5 million but who knows. It’s a steal if that is the case. £6m according to the Rangers Review, mentioned on their post-match podcast last night plymouthranger and fuckthespl 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersInCanada 7,775 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 There is no rush to sign him full time. We have a deal which allows us a season to make our mind up with an agreed price thereafter. The sort of loan deal that I like.

For me, more importantly if we were to buy him now we could risk losing him at the end of season if he does well. If we wait until the end of season we'll have him have another season at least.

Broxi 11,531 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 £6m is fair enough. Similar to Kent, Jota, CCV deals to be made permanent (although Kent wasn't pre-agreed obviously) so will need to show similar levels to those players. Certainly showed potential to be a good deal at that, let's see how he continues to put it all together going forward. I think Matondo being a mixed bag in the competitive games isn't helping Tillman's positioning. Shame because thought Matondo was outstanding pre-season, hopefully he comes good. This would be outstanding if we managed to get Matondo firing: Morelos Kent Lawrence Tillman Matondo Lundstram Yilmaz Davies Goldson Tavernier McLaughlin Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly promising, but so was Coulibaly in the first few months ... Dead on - I’m pretty sure he’ll come good & be a real asset, but he tries a lot of stuff that doesn’t come off. Alex Lowry can do that… As for yesterday, thought he was a lot better second half and the goal will have done him the world of good. Was a good and brave leap - he didn’t know the keeper was going to make himself smaller & could have been on the end of a clattering! €7m goal - which could rise further. Great way to get off the mark! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPWF 8,308 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 What a pler. Him and Lawrence should be playing as 8/10’s ahead of Lundstram in the holding role for most of our games. molesmole 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights 2,526 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 £6m is more than I was expecting. Thought people had originally said £4m. Could definitely be worth it but isn’t as much of a no brainer Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
