sir_gary_cahill Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I trust RDM and Steve Clarke, they've obviously done their homework on this player and Clarke has worked with him previously at Reading, so they have knowledge of him. I haven't seen him play but I have heard good things about him, Reading have a good academy in my opinion, quite a few quality players have come through there, so hopefully Tshibola can be another one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) I cannot say I had heard of this guy until about 2 weeks ago when we were first linked, I don't think I have even seen as much as a youtube video for him, but I do hope we sign this Tshibola fellow, as I cannot wait to see the efforts of VT in making a new song/chant for him.

I hope he is taking on board what his team have to say, sign of a good manager if you ask me. End of the day he is the one who makes the final decision so its his signing. P.s id rather he take advice from his team than the group of scouts we apparently have Shouldn't he have written it down then ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sharkyvilla Posted July 4, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2016 Tshibola looks like the type of player we should be hoovering up, young football league players that have the potential to improve into Premier League players. If the fee is £5m then that sounds about right, I believe that was the initial fee for Dele Alli, not that I expect him to be in that league. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting rid of Hutton and signing Gunter for £1m would be a no brainer, I would also go as far as say we could even sign another RB to compete with Gunter. Either way, I don't want Hutton here anymore. Watching him try and control a football, pass, cross, dribble makes we want to stab myself in the leg. Although if we are replacing Hutton, I would quite like someone better than Gunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goalkeepers are apparently recommended by the new GK coach. I can only assume Tshibola will be recommended by Clarke .......... so who is it RDM wants to sign? What's his take on what we need? Perhaps they are working as a team ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen him play, but he's apparently pretty highly rated so he must have done something right in the few games he played. Bit worrying thou, his FIFA 16 stats are awful Oh no.

Popular Post The Moustache of Teale Posted July 4, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2016 I can add nothing insightful or learned to this Aaron Tshibola debate other than an anagram of his surname is 'lob a shit'. Or, 'a shit lob' if you prefer. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
