He isn't a striker. He has looked excellent in his actual postion (first half against City).

Oh, I love giving a player (or even two) a free role. I just don't think we can do that. I wish him the best of luck, he's obviously another really nice guy and definitely has something to offer.

Yeah exactly this. I think Potter's comments on him were quite illuminating in a subtle way. He was clearly saying 'i know exactly what he will bring to the team', and as you say I suspect that that is coming on when the game suits. He is the sort of the player that teams will have to watch...

My real concern, and it's long standing, is where he is going to play. You saw tonight EXACTLY how he has played in all the games I've seen in terms of his positional play. He starts wide, and drifts central. I think it stems from being the best player in the S African league and the national...

Just watched a youtube video about Caicedo and the journalist stated.... If a player has one appearance internationally at at least U17, has played one game in the areas Continental competition, and one league game they will get a work permit. He added that pre Jan 1st there was maybe 25...

People need to readjust their expectations I think. Most of those goals were at a level that is, quite frankly, way below anything any of our current squad will have played at (and our fifth choice left back is currently playing in). And his last international goals were against São Tomé and...

No pressure then :)

Looks like we're going to sell 3 million worth of Tau shirts alone. And to think they didn't even know who we were when I was there for the WC.

Humorous but also slightly unhinged. Not sure Potter will ever be safe on holiday there if this goes tits up!

Very reminiscent of when Ali J joined. Hopefully this one turns out better.

That is an incredibly quick turn around compared to pre-Brexit. Can see an absolute influx of non-EU players.

I wouldn't say Tau is a number 10- he doesn't play off the striker. When he creates goals it tends to be out wide, on the break, using his pace. He is left footed but mostly drifts out to the right. But he likes to be involved and comes quite deep to receive it. From what i've seen his main...

We hardly ever play with wingers these days. And he mostly plays as an attacking, central midfielder. Like Lallana, or like Trossard now we don't play him on the wing. Trossard, incidentally, had FAR superior stats in Belgium. Maybe he will play as a wing back.

Do they exist? Would Potter even want a player like that? I'd just take a player who you'd rate 7 out of 10 for finishing right now.

And one isn't even a striker.

But i guess that's what we need right? We need brilliant, because at the moment we have a lot of average and another average midfielder/attacker is the last thing we need. Fingers crossed.

At the risk of getting all kinds of abuse, 'tore up a Benelux SECOND division'. Tau struggled last year and hasn't particularly shone this.

Yeah that is how I feel. We'v waited long enough, so anything is a bonus really.

Interestingly, he's been playing in central midfield. Very excited by Moder who looks a real prospect. But fear Tau will be another who doesn't contribute a great deal. We'll see.
