The team has been crying out for pace for years now. Every transfer window since the start of 2019 fans have been asking for attacking midfielders and strikers with some speed.
What I don’t get is what age does Tavares have to be before he has a runout He sounds like he has pace so why keep him back, plenty of other sides have youngsters playing for them
He wasn't a regular starter in Rochdale's team that were relegated from League One last year. His progress would have to be meteoric if he's suddenly Championship ready in the 11 months we've had him.
Tore Dabo apart all match …. No end product but that level of pace and directness is one of the missing dimensions in our team.
long standing city fans will remember that sometimes you can create problems for teams just through raw pace ….
The Bobby Gould team of Quinn and Rosario had a front too that lacked pace but with John Williams, Gallagher, Etc flying down the wing it didn’t matter.
Our current formation requires that pace either at wing back or up front. I’ve not seen Tavares yet but the our other options don’t have that raw pace.
the way we dominate the ball id love to see us having a really quick attacking player to run at defences in the last 25 mins as their legs start to tire.
He needs a loan. Holding him back for u23s is useless now surely. Cardiff I think have just loaned their u23s top scorer to Northampton who are in a title challenge. That's the sort of move Tav now needs.
