He’s decent and another experienced head who shouldn’t make lots of individual errors given his time in the league. He’s a step up from what we have but not sure how high to set my hopes/expectations with Villa this summer. fill your boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PaulC Posted May 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2022 This has been going around for a while. 29 is the same age as Mings. Free transfer as well and excelled in a poor Burnley team. Theres a soft underbelly at Villa and he would help fix that. So yes I'm all for signing him! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Burnley turned it down, West Ham valued him at £31m as they bid that. He's available for free now. He'll be great business for whomever he joins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 This is the sort of link I like at this stage of the summer, in that if we get him I’ll be pleased but if we don’t I won’t be too fussed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 He really would suit Everton. Big horrible brick of a CB. He'd be fantastic for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Not a glamorous name compared to other CB's we've been linked with, but I think Tarkowski is underrated. I'd welcome him at Villa definitely, isn't he also a bit of a d*ck when he's playing? If he is I like it, having a player that can get under players/fans skin is brilliant in my opinion. Our players sometimes get a bit rattled at times when we played Palace (Zaha) and City (Rodri) at times when they either do tactical fouls or constantly in our players ears. It would be nice to have a few at Villa that did the same 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted May 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 23, 2022 If we can get him on wages that aren't ridiculous, then it's a no brainer. I would want another top class CB to play next to Mings though, leaving Tark/Konsa/Chambers as back up (probably minus Konsa) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I can see the potential of a young CB like Botman (although we need a right footed CB) but I believe that a strong experienced Premier League CB pairing is what we need for next season. Mings and Tarkowski would hit the ground running as a pair with no time needed to "learn" the very different challenges of the PL. Tarkowski is the best available RCB who ticks all our required boxes at this moment in time. (imo) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives us flexibility to play 3 at the back too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejs1111 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 This is one signing I'm not on board with myself. He's just a big goon who cannot pass the ball AT ALL (68% completion this season). Complete anti SG style of a CB. We need a ball playing CB, full stop. That is mainly what made Chambers look so good in our games, he is capable of passing the ball. Konsa cannot, he only gives the ball sideways and back to Emi, who then lumps it forward. Mings passing is dreadful as well...he dwells on the ball forever only to lump a hopeful ball to the channel for Watkins. Signing Tark would just be more of the same. The only positive I see would be he's a better defender, and a shitehouse, which our side lacks. Hopefully its just agent talk to get better offers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
