Like it or not, Garner, Mangala and Gueye will be ahead of him as a starter. He's going to get very good very quickly. He should play as much as possible.

Wiggytop Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 My MOTM last night, seems to know when to play a simple pass or something more adventurous, and has a good shot on him, he probably will be eased in to the team, I see him as a key player in the future Matt and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Very good signing. I like the thought of him and Garner in midfield. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted August 28 Author Report Share Posted August 28 Early signs are that all of us think he actually has a more rounded game than Onana. Let's not forget, Tim is 2 years younger than Onana. So at the moment, Tim should currently be compared to the 21 year Onana who walked in the door two seasons ago, and not the one would left this year with over 4500 Premier League minutes under his belt. How much better could Tim be after 60 odd games!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really is lightyears ahead. He might get rotated a bit to not burn him out but he will be a starter. Hafnia and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty he is better than garner in ways - very very similar though, could be an alonso/gerrard type partnership. Not in terms of levels but style. we could use garner as right back and keep Tim in middle with gana and mangala. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too early to say light years ahead - he looks a great prospect but has only played 3 competitive games for us - 2 in which we were battered and 1 against 4th tier opposition. I’m excited about his potential but he’s young and will have tough patches - we’re great for overhyping prospects and it all gets a bit messy if they don’t live up to the hype - let him settle and find himself at EFC - he’s signed a long contract and we’ll hopefully have many years to enjoy him. The early signs are very encouraging but let’s not get carried away. Shukes, StevO, Matt and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks more of a Viera type player than Onana ever did. I look forward to him and Garner creating a partnership, the potential of having a solid midfield duo again, rather than 1 carrying the other is quite exciting. I'll always get carried away because this club offers so few moments of joy, I need to make the most of every last positive thing in connection with the club Shukes and London Blue 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 I feel with have had Villas pants down. 9m for him. Didn’t they give us 10m for Dobbin? I actually agree with Haf in that he could be that more progressive player rather than a defensive mid. He could end up being Doucs replacement.: Hea getting all the plaudits for his tackles and turnovers, but he is also a forward looking player. He has an instinct to go past a player when there is space. I particularly enjoyed him chasing down that ball in the corner that seemed a lost cause. Nice bit of pace.

His game awareness is exceptional, receiving the ball & knowing when to turn or let the ball run. Serious talent. With Tim, Garner & Armstrong (obviously further behind) we are well stocked for young midfield talent. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post c1982 Posted August 31 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 31 Game management… Tim was excellent but should have come off for Garner at 2-0 - unfortunately, that was the point I’ve been trying to make - the boy is class but has so much to learn.

I'm not sure today was about learning tbh - it's about having the physicality to be able to go for 90 minutes. He just needs to play more and then he'll be able to go for a full game.

Like you say, he'd covered a lot of ground during the game and had more than earned the tiredness. But I do think that the more he plays the more able he'll be able to do what he did for 75 minutes for 90 minutes.

Nope - £45m plus Tim for Onana ........ amazing. he will far surpass Onanas levels Wiggytop and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted Wednesday at 17:11 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 17:11 Puts into perspective the training a lot more when you read the full article and don’t just follow the Titter gang…. I mean Twitter gang. He has been so much better than I think we all suspected. His ability is clearly there, and his energy is just what we need. I live the way he is always looking for the ball and has the ability to turn out. Can’t wait to see how he progresses.
