  • He’ll have a point to prove that he can make the step up as well.  Decent signings so far.  A commanding keeper with Prem/Champ experience, a promising forward, and announcing Sonny so quickly suggests it was a long term target with research and thought.  

    RWB and additional CB now needed and another couple of midfielders in my opinion to play alongside Coventry.  Coventry is the only player I see pretty much nailed onto start in the midfield if we continue with 5-3-2/3-5-2 etc 

    Berry 
    Docherty
    Sonny and the others all competing for the other 2 
  • Ok here you go.... To the tune "show must go on by Queen" Another hero running down the line, smashing goals in it's Tanto time...

    I thanks you  ;)

    Tanto,
    Tanto-Tanto,
    Tanto-Tanto,
    Tanto,
    Tanto Olaofe!

    Easy to remember, and da yoof can sing it as fast as they like. 
  • We're going to end singing the same "Tanto's on fire" song as Stockport did.
    Surely we can do better than sloppy seconds...
    If it works, it works.

    Oh when the samba rhythm starts to play, dance with me, make me sway, Isaac Tanitoluwaloba Aduraoluwatimileyin Olaofe running down the wing, scoring goals makes the Charl'on sing...
    Give me an I.......
    Could only use that one in a cup match which might go to extra time.

  • Just seen Tanto retweets anime clips. That's my striker. 
    Will get on well with Miles Leaburn then

  • I wonder where NJ sees him best I feel he’ll be better along side tc as the main 9 where godden was playing last season and godden, tanto and leaburn can fight for that striker spot then we can sign someone similar to tc ans provide healthy competition that’s if we continue our 352 4231 hybrid. tanto would definitely be better in the 9 from what I’ve seen of him he seems perfect as a striker sitting on the last line running in behind and pressing and harassing defenders. Another very good signing young hungry wanting to prove a point I feel come Watford it’ll be tc and tanto up top with godden coming on last 20 to keep up that intensity looking good but we’ve still got work to do. 4/5 more signings of this calibre and we’re in for a very good season. 
  • Tanto and TC does have a good ring to it like Sutton and shearer.

    Bit of a wobble on Friday, I heard, after the signing leaked,

    Deal was agreed but not done but leak notified another club who tried to hijack the deal.

    Thankfully, Tanto was set on joining us so all's well that ends well.
    Guess we should close the rumours thread ?

    That’s interesting but you have to ask quite why “another club” were so shocked by the leak that it prompted them to try and jump in. It’s a transfer that’s been rumoured for weeks so if another club were that interested you’d have thought they would have already been in the mix.
    Agreed

    U might have to ban me if I’m gonna scupper deals 😂
  • looks a great signing, fingers crossed he can chip in with 15+ goals ideally
    He only scored 8 goals in league one last season.
    Only 8 goals? Old @DOUCHER   won’t be happy with those stats! 😁

    I jest. I’ve not seen that much of him but sounds like just the sort of player you need in the transition from L1 to the championship. Similar to how Tom Bradshaw was for us. Doesnt pop up with a lot of goals but continually pressing, harrying and harrasing the back line. Proper grafter. Creates chances for other players. Good luck to the lad. Got a good head on his shoulders and a local lad to boot. 

    Oh, and the £700k will come in handy thank you very much 😉
    I’m assuming from the above, your £5m man has a poor goal scoring record as well as poor in the air 🤷‍♂️Tanto will do for me

    I don't think TAT has the same ring to it. 😉

    Well it was you who bought up the goal scoring record.

    So if that is what makes a player then let’s have a look at them. Josh scored 5 goals in 20 appearances last season at championship level, and he only started 15 of those games. The other five games he came on as a fairly late sub. 

    Tanto scored 8 goals in 42 appearances last season at L1 level. I don’t know how many of those were sub appearances but I would presume he started most games for them. 

    As I say, it was you who initially made a thing about the goal to game ratio.

    Tanto made 26 starts and 16 sub apps in the league.

    I can’t see them both starting to be honest.

    Why’s that?
  • No idea why but I really think this one is going to work out. Raw pace and desire can go a long way with good coaching and I back our coaching team to get the best out of him 
  • He scores, he creates, he wins fouls and he presses really well.

    I don't know why but the danger mouse intro started playing in my head when reading this.
  • Looking forward to seeing him & gass tear the championship up.

    I like him as a signing, but there are nowhere near enough goals in a forward line of TC and Tanto. I'd expect it to be TC or Tanto up top with Godden/someone new
