Our position today had we got Tella.
Purely in hindsight and extremely speculative I know, but if we had dug deeper into our pockets to get Tella last window ....do you think he would have made a huge difference as to where we are now in the Prem?

No, same position I’d say.

We’d still be playing weak players for this league from goalkeeper right through to striker.

Re: Our position today had we got Tella.
The boy was a finisher & looking back at some of the gilt edged chances created & missed even making allowances for the higher league, it's reasonable to assume he would have made the net bulge more than it has done thus far. So without a shadow for me it'd be higher.

Re: Our position today had we got Tella.
His pressing was a HUGE contributor to our success last season, we didn't replace that. Hard to say if we would have done better with him but it's fair to say we couldn't have done much worse than we have this season without him.

Re: Our position today had we got Tella.
We’d still be conceding too many goals but I think we’d be scoring more and thus have perhaps turned a few of the closer defeats into draws.
Re: Our position today had we got Tella.
Even if you disregard replacing his goals, we haven't replaced his amazing first touch and close control, hold-up play or most importantly, his raw direct pace!... He also knew our system inside-out and had a never-say-never attitude... We'd be far better off with him in the team!

Re: Our position today had we got Tella.
With regards to knowing the system inside out (which I agree, he did) how long do we think it actually takes players to get to that point? Didn’t take last years lads too long. Are our summer signings just morons who can’t take it on board?BigChaCha wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 6:43 amEven if you disregard replacing his goals, we haven't replaced his amazing first touch and close control, hold-up play or most importantly, his raw direct pace!...

Re: Our position today had we got Tella.
We soon changed 433 to 442 because the midfield couldn't cope.
Not sure Tella could play as a genuine wide man with tracking back duties.

He'd have been injured and hardly figured, so no.

Re: Our position today had we got Tella.
To get the best out of Tella we'd have had to be picking Muric, so really it wouldn't have made much difference (imo)
Re: Our position today had we got Tella.
Amazed people still think Tella would have ripped up the prem
Re: Our position today had we got Tella.
The fact that no Premiership club came in for him,and he's not making any headway in Germany,I think suggests that he would not be as effective in the prem
Re: Our position today had we got Tella.
Nobody said ripped up, I think we would have converted more chances, a similar position to say Palace.

Re: Our position today had we got Tella.
It's not about Tella as an individual per say, though we have dfefinitely missed his inbehind threat/pressing ability on the right -
It's more about hitting the league with players that knew the system and not having so much change, which is a big part as to why it's taken so long for everything to gel.
& Tella is starting to play more of a role for Leverkusen who are sat top of the table with 0 losses all season...
People are throwing shade on Tella for not ripping the Bundesliga up - neither has David Fofana for Union Berlin who are nearly sat in the relegation zone in the Bundesliga...

How long did it take that pony Lyle Foster?

Show me one quote of someone stating that?... Just one will do!BOYSIE31:

What sensible people are saying though, is that he would have improved our squad and team.

Re: Our position today had we got Tella.
His movement was outstanding, he was a goal scorer, he worked hard, he had terrific pace, he was full of confidence and the fans were fully behind him.
Highly likely we would be in a better position.

He was so often the get out long ball for Muric. Muric always seemed to know where he was, the pass was accurate and most importantly, it stuck!

Re: Our position today had we got Tella.
You wouldn't bet against him scoring a couple v Luton tonight.
Ideal game for his press and pace.

Re: Our position today had we got Tella.
Bit strange the love in for Tella. He was a good player at Championship level, not exceptional. 17 league goals in a team absolutely tailor made to get the best out of him. Its not a groundbreaking record by any means and there wasnt much to suggest hed be anyrhing other than a bottom half premier league player.
I think thats why we didnt seem to try that hard to get him, it was unlikely wed be able to make much profit on the £20 million or so that they wanted.

Re: Our position today had we got Tella.
In my opinion Amdouni will go on to be a better player than Tella. Even this season, not much difference certainly in points. I think Maatsen has been more of a miss.
