I think Tuanzebe is a smokescreen TBH. I can't really see what he would bring to the squad compared to Bailey, JWP or even Tammy.


Err, defending?

A smokescreen deployed by who, and for what purpose?

Forget about Tuanzebe, we need a proven striker as a minimum. There’s nowhere in the league rules that state we can only play with 1 striker in every match!!
As regards Jack, I still think he’ll be making a huge mistake if he goes to Man City. Can see him spending a lot of time on their bench and, will do his England chances no good at all. I seem to remember a certain reptile who did this and it all but ended his England career.

Err, really? He's injured lots, ain't that good in the air and could not make the Yanited team.

So we can announce the return of Drinkwater before anyone else snaps him up.

Maybe 'smokescreen' was the wrong word. Perhaps 'distraction' would be better.
Easy for journos to link us to players that have been successfully on loan to us in the past; like Axel and Tammy.

You said you couldn't see what he'd bring compared to those players, none of whom are defenders.

I was being pedantic.

I don't want him, but he clearly offers something different to the players you mentioned as he's a completely different position. Your argument is like saying "why are we being linked with Winks when we already have Martinez"?

Nah, he wouldn't fit into the 3-5-2 that we're planning!

No, you misread my post: I cannot see what he would bring to the squad, whereas as I can see what the other examples would bring:
Bailey would bring attacking pace; JWP would bring midfield solidity and set pieces; Tammy would bring goalscoring instinct and aerial strength in attack.
Not sure what Axel would bring particularly.

I get what you're saying but didn't misread it, you just put it badly!

I'd give you the benefit of the doubt but the 3 centre half post marks you out as a wrongun.
