Nathan Tella

[blatherwickstattoos]

A fabulous footballer but sadly too good for us and the recruitment team should have made him number 1 priority over disappointments like Trafford , tresor , Amdouni

[equinox]

I doubt he'd have made much difference.

[Jakubclaret]

Tella
Harwood-Bellis = £40 million

Trafford
Ramsey
O'Shea = £42 million


Let that sink in

You could use that extra £2mil add it to the £15mil for the rumoured/reported £15mil tresor obligation throw in a extra mil you have adam Wharton who's already looking double more than palace shelled out. It's insane recruitment.

We’ll lose money on most of these if the figures are correct

I doubt he'd have made much difference.

But that's missing the point completely. Nobody knew/knows the impact a player might have. He was very much to the fore of a group of 'new faces' that lifted( literally and metaphorically) the whole club last season to levels not witnessed for a long time. Then, along with one or two others, seemingly dismissed and replaced by wholly inadequate individuals whose careers have not progressed nor been enhanced throughout this football season.

It gets worse the more we think about it

For those that missed it his 3 starts this season for Saints were 2W 1D 0L. 1 goal, 1 assist, 1 yellow.

For the earlier poster that said he is bit part at Bayer, he is behind Jeremy Frimpong, who is wanted all over Europe. No shame in that and if he goes Nathan starts.

Congrats to him for a wonderful move and fabulous memories.

I wish people would show even half the support to actual Burnley players.

Congratulations Vitinho on winning the 2023/24 Bundesliga.

Both him and Maatsen came in for their fair share of stick at times last season. It’s funny how poster opinions change when it suits their agenda.

Many do of course, but some do not, which pollutes many discussions on social media.

The Premier League is tougher than any league in the world, the defenders are giants, no guarantee Tella or indeed Maatsen would have done any better than Amdouni, Brun Larsen, Taylor etc. certainly Maatsen did nothing for Chelsea Sept-Dec. Personally I think they have all had good moments in their seasons, including most of our players.

Fixed it for you, you've obviously forgotten.

...I get the annoyance over missing out on transfers but there has to be an element of realism.

Hello... Look around... This is the UptheClarets Forum you're on - When has an element of realism ever risked venturing into here?

Did anyone see how he did at West Ham tonight? Came off at half time, but I've been watching the scousers.

Thought he did alright myself. Playing down the middle. Had at least one shot well saved by Fabianski. I reckon he was probably sacrificed for a tactical switch rather than not playing well.

he went off injured
