TWar Posted 29 March, 2022 Share Posted 29 March, 2022 (edited) Tete looked fantastic in Shakhtar's win against Real Madrid last season. Was only 20 at the time. Edited 29 March, 2022 by TWar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't use "biblical" as I am not a religious man, maybe phenomenal. Still needs to get over the line though.

tajjuk Posted 30 March, 2022 Share Posted 30 March, 2022 If we have 'won the race', and considering I doubt we can offer more money than the likes of Everton, West Ham or Leicester, plus surely teams like Ajax and Milan have more pull, then I can only presume 1. he really wants to play in the Premier League, and 2.

We have developed Mane and Tadic in his position as a club and Ralph has developed a number of other promising players both here and at RBL. Maybe we can offer more progression as a player than Everton, West Ham, and Leicester. That coupled with wanting to play in the prem. I think we are an incredibly appealing side to young players now, looking at a top half finish giving youngsters regular minutes and not standing in their way when they want to move to greener pastures.

revolution saint Posted 30 March, 2022 Share Posted 30 March, 2022 Don't really know much about Tete but if he's more like a traditional winger then I'd expect him to show some good early promise before Ralph gets him to concentrate on working against the ball and an emphasis on tracking back. Obviously hope he's great but I'm not sure that wingers are particularly suited to the 4222 formation - if you look at Redmond, Djenepo and Walcott none of them impress quite as much as they would do in a traditional winger role (and, yes, I'm aware that all of those have issues besides being traditional wingers). Just think that players like Stuart Armstrong and Elynoussi who are more like converted midfielders seem to perform a bit better in that role. Anyway, good thing about this (if true) is that presumably it'll give him a bit of time to settle into the area and club ahead of pre-season even if he can't play for us. I guess we can also pick up the £400 a month for Ukrainian refugee money that's on offer which is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I hear from Reddit and transfermarkt (plus seeing him once or twice in the CL) he isn't really a traditional winger. He plays mainly on the right despite being left footed and looks to cut in and beat players as well as to go for goal.

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 30 March, 2022 Share Posted 30 March, 2022 Looking forward to seeing him do well, impress other clubs, receive a big transfer fee from a top 4 club for him that fulfils our and his plans, and acts as yet another example of our appeal to other potential signings.

FarehamSaintJames Posted 30 March, 2022 Share Posted 30 March, 2022 Honestly can’t see us getting Teté given he has been linked with a lot of Europe’s top clubs, and those that are competing in the European competitions. Naturally would welcome it but don’t see it as a “Saints-type signing”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes_and_Watson Posted 30 March, 2022 Share Posted 30 March, 2022 It's not all football skills, of course. His rise to superstardom, through a stint with us, can be helped by having a personable image. I'm looking forward to hearing him in interviews. A tete-a-tete with a local journalist?

S-Clarke Posted 31 March, 2022 Share Posted 31 March, 2022 Oriol has been one of our successes in recent seasons, throughout all the dross we had to endure. But...at the start of next season he'll be 31. The club may have briefed him that we will be investing in a new number 6 in the summer to evolve his position, that's my hunch anyway. I reckon he'll stick around for next season and then leave on a free in 2023. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes_and_Watson Posted 31 March, 2022 Share Posted 31 March, 2022 He'd be a big miss. But we don't know what's being offered/ wanted in the negotiations. I'm sure both the club and player realise how important he's been to us. We've been happy to bring back Walcott on presumably large wages and extend contract for Long. Romeu has been far more influential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Wilson and Wood, the next striker they buy I imagine will be a big spend on a £50m statement signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
