Well i'm sure there are exceptions. Johnny Evans did play for Man Utd for 7 season though so not really comparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I'd only know him because he's a joy to use at CB in early Ultimate Team days. Frankly his stats and some of the facts on him scream Brazilian Mings and I'd rather just keep Mings if that's the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My view is they should all retire at 30 and give youngsters a chance . You must get along well with SGC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say Carlos was better than Tarkowski or Tarkowski was better than Carlos, just that people are going to gravitate towards the player who's playing at a higher level There's plenty of others. What I was genuinely asking was if he is better or not, given the huge likely differential in cost? I don't know. Seems you don't either (fine, of course). And yes, people gravitate to certain things perceived as being better - but reality is sometimes/often different. Which is why I think a few people on here are asking for a genuinely opinion?

Tarkowski on a free makes more sense if money should be spent elsewhere like a top midfielder or striker. If we aren’t going for those then spending money on Carlos makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot Chambers as well but I don't think a 27 year old back-up CB/RB really proves anything either way Only 3 players signed before Kamara this week. Not saying I'm not happy with them but I don't think you can say an expensive, late 20's player is completely out of the realm of the type of signing we're looking to make.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Another I don't know much about, but based on some of the video analysis I've watched, and comments on here, seems a right sided Ming's? As in, he can be brilliant, but is also prone to an error, this would go against the " being inconsistent " SG spoke of? They do also make it seem like he is quite good on the ball though.

MaVilla Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 estimated 30-40m fee, plus huge wages, or Tarkowski for free and big wages.... Dunno.....i wonder if Tarkowski would be the better option, both are 29 so age isnt a comparable issue between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich192 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Can’t say I’ve seen much of him, but from what I’ve read, I’m not totally on board. Yes, that is me turning my nose up at a Brazilian centre half who’s played regular European football for a top 4 La Liga team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
