Confirmed Signing James Tarkowski

[ToffeeTim]

They seriously taking this long with all the press stuff when nobody is utterly arsed

Cant announce it today because of Stranger things and the club want to get maximum coverage on social media

 

[YoboCopter]

This is slightly worse

Biggest biceps I've seen since @UptheTofees

What you think @Sassy Colombian

 

[AmericasToffee]

Because he likes 23.

A true MJ fan. All of Seamus’ crosses into the box are a tribute to Air Jordan

I suspect the club are conscious his unveiling might feel like the bottom slice of a s**t sandwich, so are punting its delivery a little further from the Richarlison filling and kit launch top slice.

It does when the club are constantly being accused of timing stories to follow bad news.

Tarko getting the number 2 jersey means that Patterson is still seen as deputy to Coleman.

Patterson is number 3????

It’s undeniable that people will (poorly) compare the announcement of Tarkowski’s arrival with the departure of Richarlison.

Tarkowski doesn’t deserve that. Padding the two announcements out a bit is a courtesy to him, if nothing else.

Still lame

We are simply the weirdest club on earth.

We are simply the weirdest club on earth.

There are loads worse!

We are probably the weirdest high profile club though. We just keep bouncing from one farce to another letting them make just enough damage to annoy us but not enough to destroy us completely.

Things need to change as you can't keep getting away with it forever.

I’ve always thought that was a mess, too. Why does the right side come first, and why does it all break down with centre backs?

Classic 4-4-2 numbering ought to be:

GK - 1
LB - 2
CB - 3
CB - 4
RB - 5
LM - 6
CM - 7
CM - 8
RM - 9
FW - 10
FW -11

But that’s nothing like what we’d expect to see thanks to goodness knows what nonsense in the late 19th / early 20th centuries.

I think it was better in the early part of the twentieth century when the players all played without numbers and got paid hardly any wages but seemed to know their way around football pitches and seemed happy to do s, then Everton and Man. City spoiled it in the 1933 cup final by wearing numbers, it’s gone downhill since with players actually sticking up for themselves and holding the clubs to ransom with ridiculous demands for outlandish wages, I’d take the shirt numbers off them for a start and put names on their shirts that described by their ability, like [Poor language removed], Steady Eddie, Sicknote, etc, etc.

Feel sorry for the guy, given all the crap gone on today he’s on a hiding to nothing
