Mings is on 85k I think so I can't see Tarkowski being offered much more than that. I'd say £80-90k
-
I think Mings has had to take on far too much responsibility this season. Playing out from the back. Full backs ultra attacking. Martinez and Konsa having poor seasons.
-
Yeah if you just look at it vs our current team. He's far more experienced and a better defender than Konsa. He also brings leadership qualities and a big personality to the team and dressing room. We can debate what different CBs we would prefer to sign but Tarkowski improves our first team, no question about that.
-
Well it works as in the widest attacking players are the full backs. That will not changr at all given how productive and high quality our full backs are. There is no massive hole in the pitch. We have a 2 3 5 attacking shape and one of the 8s can get involved in an attack too we just need the other two Midfielders to position themselves to cover it. Having a proper CDM now will really help
-
We will never play a double pivot. It's a significant departure from our base tactics of 3 man midfield as the 8s need to cover the full backs. We need the 3 man midfield when we have the attacking full backs
-
Since he was banned for biting Chiellini he's had no issues at Barca or Atletico. Not had a red card or a ban. Seems like he has grown up and not doing the stupid things he did when he was younger.
-
Yeah we just don't know. If Gerrard wants him then he must be more confident of his ability on the ball that we can glean from his stats. His pass completion % for short passes has just got worse and worse every season at Burnley so it is a worry.
-
You don't know Suarez at all though. Gerrard said he's a good friend of his. Messi too. So by all accounts he's a good lad. Yes he did stupid things like biting on a pitch and his incident with Evra. So what, they were a long time ago now. We need to stop defining people by the rare single negative things they've done. I can guarantee you there are millions of people who attend football matches far worse than Luis Suarez.
-
Well I think a little bit of rotation is what Gerrard wants if he has a squad full of players he trusts. Plus players coming off the bench to close games out. We can't rely on a midfielder of JJ Kamara McGinn and nothing more on the bench (Luiz, Sanson both departing).
-
Means we've 2 fewer players to pass and one of our midfielders needs to drop into the box for a kick off to avoid being man marked to stop ball going to him. I still hope we can get a ball playing CB to play alongside Mings. I'm fine with Tarkowski though as he's quality defender and very experienced
-
We had John Terry coaching our team!!
-
Which is what we lack at Villa. Nice people and we're nice to play against. We're nice to beat. So nice.
-
Archer is the one who would benefit most. Learning from Suarez and getting his game time off the bench. Archer isn't ready yet, he's had half a season of mid table Championship football.
-
We need another Central Midfielder an experienced one. We've added Kamara who is new to Premier League and is 22 years old. We've JJ who has just turned 21 and Carney turning 19 next season. A senior player who doesn't need to play every week.
-
Yeah he's exactly this. Has a defensive brain when we are in possession positioning himself to stop any danger if we lose possession. While in possession he's press resistant and an incredible passer of the ball. I can see him dropping in between the CBs to take responsibility for playing from the back if we fail to get the elite CB passer we need.
-
28-32 would be the prime years for a Centre Back. Especially in this day and age with footballers taking care of themselves better now. I struggle to see Tarkowski becoming the passing CB required for Villa. So it doesn't make sense for the style we want to play. Quality CB as he is.
-
Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic doing it for United at 37 and 38. Benzema going to win Ballon D'or at 34 and is less than a year younger than Suarez. Suarez salary is reported to be £160k / 200k euro. So can fit in our pay structure. Hilarious there is opposition to him joining. But look there was lots of opposition to Coutinho too. The profile of the club in a World Cup year with Gerrard, Coutinho, Suarez all at the club!!
-
Absolutely. Think of the standards he has and the drive he has. Especially in a World Cup season. Archer and Watkins learning off him. There are 5 subs next season. I've read he is on £160k per week at Atletico I'm sure we can get him into our pay structure for a season 125k pw and a sign on fee. I think he has an offer from us. However there is the possibility of Barcelona if they fail to get Lewandowski so no wonder he's not decided yet. Inter also have to be a great option as he has a chance to win Serie A. I'd say the length of contract is also a factor he's considering, who is offering a 2 year deal if anyone is? Ronaldo and Benezema are showing age is just a number like Ibrahimovic had already done.
-
I wouldn't got that far. Martinez did have a poor season, but last season he was superb. I hope he gets back to that level. We're sorted in GK with Martinez and Olsen

Bassey fits the bill as he can play LB too.
-
Well we need 4 CBs and I'd say Konsa will be 3rd choice going into next season behind whomever we sign. He's still young so has a chance of forcing his way back into the team. Competition for places is what we want and we saw lots of different players starting games under Gerrard. Hause being injured probably cost him some game time too.
-
I really don't think we'll ever play with a back three. We've.a CDM who can drop into the backline if needed during a game. Bassey and Tarkowski would be two great additions to the squad for sure though

I hope we announce Suarez soon. Perfect player to add to the squad for 12 months, especially with 5 subs next season
-
He'll sing a new contract soon. He's a great player who can improve still I feel.

Kamara Mings Tarkowski looks very defensively solid to me vs Luiz Mings Konsa
