Player Valuation: £35m
I know mate but a player like Tiss needs the team to play around him.... He's what would be probably called a luxury player....it's akin to messi and Argentina... Now Tiss is no messi by a long shot but the rinciple is the same, that argie team is set up to accommodate messi.... The team fits around him. That would never happen in an England team.
I think a couple of things went against him. The first being his decision to stay at Saints, and the second being a certain Paul Gascoigne, and then the emergence of Scholes. Could any of that trio be played together, considering two strikers was the norm back then?
I suppose he could have played as a deep lying forward, but then he did have decent competition from the likes of Sheringham and Beardsley over the years.
