TGH Next?

[Stevil81]

Looks like another player we were looking to loan out but are considering a permanent bid for him.

This is a mistake in my opinion, given a decent run he could be one of our promising future players.

This one wouldn’t break my heart tbh mate.

I’d rather keep than lose but if the money is right then there’s not much point in us moaning as long as we replace him.

[Stevil81]

Agreed Mick, but not sure we will replace him?

He is reasonable cover at full back, less likely to figure as a CM I don't think with who we have currently

[Omegstrat6]

Always thought that TGH was a promising player who hasn't always been given the opportunities he perhaps warranted but he hasn't really been able to make a particular position his own. Ideally though, given the thinness of the squad, I wouldn't want to lose him as he can offer cover and, as Stevil points out, who would replace him? Getting Tanaka in would be good but looks very unlikely given both the cost and competition.

Not a great footballing brain but useful cover. It’s a tricky business at the moment, who goes? How much does it matter?

[saltnshake]

Not really sure what his best position is, certainly not a full back and he's not going to get into centre midfield ahead of Molumby, Okay or Mowatt, he needs to go out on loan to play in or if we get offered enough money we need to put a sell on clause in because he does have talent .

All the transfer money is going into Lai’s back pocket anyway … do we seriously think any money is going to be spent on bringing players in … no chance …

If there is genuine interest in buying this club then the buyer will have a say....but only if he shows genuine interest in buying...so until that happens, I tend to agree with you Barrera...
