Madina 4,241 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Starting the season with Tav still here is a disappointment. Wonder how many "we will learn from this" sound bites he'll come out with this season 🙄 JackAlex93 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crmpicco 150 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 The level for Tav now is "not absolutely shite" and people are using that to stick up for him. I love the guy but he needs to move on Benidormbear and five stars 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck me, Clement really has changed things behind the scenes Did you read the chain of posts I was quoting? I maybe should've multi-quoted but it was in response to an earlier post where someone claimed we hadn't done anything to replace Tav and someone else (my direct quote) referred to Sterling. I was just backing that up to say that Sterling is seemingly being pegged for RB - not CM like so many people seem to be looking at.

esquire8 45,143 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Think if we do manage to shift Tav then another right back will be lined up. Sterling can be used there on the odd occasion but primarily a centre mid. Somemightsay7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Persson 555 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Tav is in with the bricks. Will be here till the end. Nobody wants him or will pay him more, so you don't quit a job till you got a better one while you have a watertight contract. Player power, and it applies to many others. The Crocks and underperformers that are many. Would love it it were different but this is where we are at.  HG5, JockWallace and starofdavid 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 1,800 minutes he's played for us, he spent 50-odd minutes at right back, which was against Morton. He's obviously not seen as a right back for us.

We've seen as well he offers a lot more in our midfield. Control we had against Kiev once he was introduced. If Clement does plan to use him in midfield then we absolutely need a new RB. Tav can't be our first choice again over the season. tommyw, HG5 and gmcf 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From everything I've seen of him he's a central midfielder. Albion 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless due to his injury he was doing extra work over that period and now has been given a few days off. But doesn't seem to make sense. Maybe he'll be announced by Maldives FC....

I think he's been a victim of circumstance and his own success. I'm sure he was signed as a right back but the number of injuries we had meant his versatility was exploited. The fact at times he's looked like one of our best midfielders says a lot about the quality of midfielders we've been bringing in. Blueshoff, HG5 and gmcf 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah , I just sense by putting him at RB he would be too far out the picture . I think we'd miss his drive and aggression in midfield that was sorely missed when he didn't play there last season.  Who knows though , maybe Diamonde and Barron can provide that energy for us this season leaving him to RB . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
