Defender wages in Premier League, does Tarkowski really deserve to get 90k p/w based on ablity? I'm not sure.

Kurt Zouma has done well for himself there!

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Not the biggest fan and talent wise I don't see much between him and Keane, but......

One big difference is that Tarkowski is a leader/organizer type who takes charge and doesn't seem to have confidence made of tissue paper. Mina aside that's what we have a total absence of throughout the centre of the park.

With a 'youngish' set of defenders and a new who are prone to mistakes, then can see the sense in him being a target.

Tarkowski on 90k p/w, Keane leaving for a fee (say 10m) think Keane's on a bigger wage than 90k as well, and pretty much no difference in age (plus Tarkowski won't have the Keane baggage of all those horrid games for us)

In isolation it'd be a deal that made good financial sense and probably sense in terms of overall strengthening the position.

Michael Keane’s on about £65k

 

[Papa Shango]

If he played like Dawson has this season I’d be delighted. He’s been outstanding for West Ham.

He has been. The profile of the signing makes sense. I'm assuming Dawson is not on 90k a week though!

It's all rumours of course but we need to be smarter.

 

[MikeH72]

I don’t think we should be paying James Tarkowski £90k a week.

I mean he’s better than several of the players in that list tbf

I don't see us selling Keane at all.

So Mina more likely to go?

 

[MartSlinger]

So Mina more likely to go?

We simply cannot rely on Yerry Mina - if an actual cash offer came in for him we need to take it.

 

[everton1953]

Tarkowski is an animal. Dos nobody remember when he kicked Richarlison off the pitch? Burnley roughneck who belongs in League 1.

 

[Papa Shango]

Wouldn't the plan be to play Tarkowski and Keane together seeing as they have done so in the past?

Mina does my head in, just be fit more you idiot! He's a quality player when available.

 

[HokieToffee]

Tyler Adams would be worth a shout. 23, aggressive DM, some Champions League experience, plays for a top-4 side in Germany.

 

[Groucho]

Yeah let’s just sign another relegated defender.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

It gets worse supposedly were offering him 90k a week. Distressing if true

His face and hairstyle make me think of a budget Sigurdsson, for that reason I’m out

 

[LeeCarsley]

He single handedly prevented us from winning at Burnley that night. I thought at the time if we’d had him in our team we’d have won that game.

I think he's extremely talented, there's a reason Frank wanted him for his Chelsea team.

 

[GoSoccerToffees]

James Tarkowski always looks a composed and aggressive leader at the back whenever I've watched Burnley like.

Stands out amongst the dross in their squad honestly.

 

[AussieToffee11]

Probably not universally popular but I’d have Tarkowski for sure. Totally lack a composed, defensive leader when Mina is out. After a season where we’ve totally failed to grind any results, especially away, here’s an experienced grinder on a free transfer. Obviously we should primarily target younger players but not totally at the expense of experience. Look at the difference the composure of Delph made when he came in.

Burnley conceded 13 less goals than us. He has leadership qualities as well.

If a 3 year deal, at that money, I'd be more than comfortable. No transfer fee either.
