Jocelin Ta Bi


Technically it's an u21 tournament but it's not particularly official.

Yeah, they're all U21 (and probably on the young side of that) but Japan, for example are all 19 and under. I think Ivory Coast and Portugal are the older two squads in the group. Interesting tournament anyway and good that Ta Bi is getting some international recognition.
 
Not a totally unfair assessment
The assessment and expectations from less than à full league game and a pub league cup appearance are way over the top
Needs to be judged over at least half a dozen games against proper teams
We seem to have a cohort of fans who believe the magic potion will be à goal scoring tricky winger who plucks goals from nothing. Based on the square root of zilch many have appointed someone who’s career has been spent in second tier reserve football, this lad is bees knees
Edit: I miss read your post. My response was disagreeing with what I thought you had written, and agreeing with that you actually have written. Move it along now, nothing to see here 🫣

It's class for him, just recovering from injury and gets a pressure free run out for his country, hopefully means he'll come back ready for preseason. Doing well too, top scorer in the tournament so far and a MOTM.

Yeah, he's clearly got an eye for goal. 2 in 2 following from 7 in 39 in Israel and impressing our squad and staff.

That's the spirit!
 
Thought Regis got it all wrong for that Fulham game....thankfully he only did that about 3 or 4 games out of 38!
I think a lot of this was trying to find a way for us to be more creative or have more “plan B” - you have to experiment sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t come off. Fine margins too - that United game where we got battered a bit in the first half we had a cracking chance in the first few mins - if that goes it it’s a different game
 
I assume we will sign at least one established wide player in the summer. So in turn one or two I’d imagine will either leave or go out on loan. Yes we’ve got more football with Europe, but that’s the Europa league which will be tough, it’s not like the league cup where you can play kids, rest, rotate do what you like etc
 
Tabi isn't going on loan Reggie said it will most likely be mundle with anguilo a new rw and talbi and Jocelin staying Traore will be gone too
