[Albion] Percy Tau

[BluesRockDJ]

Really think Tau is a massive upgrade on Connolly tbh. Really hope January leads to Tau being a Brighton player at last and Championship loans for Connolly and Zeqiri to give them regular games.

Um, he is a Brighton player ?!

Ah, but he’s only employed by Brighton. He doesn’t actually play for us.

I remember 1964, what a great season! From memory of the old 235 formation, the inside forwards had to drop into midfield - Collins certainly had the ability and energy for this.

Yes, remember it well, other than just why it was ever called 2-3-5, because it never seemed like two at the back - there was always the centre half there, and the full backs always marked the opposition wingers. I think 2-3-5 was more a pattern they could fill in on the match programme, rather than how they played. In fact, in those days, I’m not sure if anyone ever had a clue about tactical play as training used to be lots and lots of running with an occasional 5-a-side.
The big difference is that they used to get the ball forward quicker, either by the big thump upfield, running with the ball or passing it to the forwards quicker.
The scourge of the modern game (other than VAR and the constant changes to the rules) I’d the pretty tippy tally stuff that probably, statistically, means you give away possession more than the good old hoof upfield.

Yes, that's right, with the centre half in between the full backs the old formations were more like a 3-4-3, or 3-2-2-3, with more wing play than today, and less flexible perhaps.

Bearing in mind he's 26, we've got to get him back soon.

Kicking and screaming all the way 'home'.

 

[maltaseagull]

Bobby Smith would be picked at wing back now

Prop for BriPhone RFC more likely.

Does he have a work permit now?

We're about to leave EU employment laws behind....

 

[Stat Brother]

We're about to leave EU employment laws behind....

Are we?

Blimey, you'd have thought news this big would have been mentioned somewhere other than a thread about Percy Tau.

Got nothing to do with the EU, it's UK rules blocking him from playing for us.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I believe the hope is that there will be some easing of the rules after Brexit.
Not sure why the club think this however.

Has his contract been renewed at any point?
I assume we are in danger of losing money on the deal if he isn't going to qualify to play for us and we don't look to sell soon.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Get him in NOW!!!!!!!!



We await his arrival with reverence and love....jah rastafarii - the king is in waiting.

It's assumed that English football governing bodies will soon make no distinction between EU and non-EU players.

 

[vagabond]

Come home Percy [emoji123]

 

[sparkie]

1st realistic game would be away at Newport.

Let's get him to the albion asap.

I believe its because SA are not high enough up in the FiFA ranking etc. I may be wrong , but was watching a game over the weekend. , and I believe one of the proem league clubs has a guy from Zimbabwe ,. How can that be or are they higher ranked than SA ,
Again I bow to the greater knowledge of NSC to explain to me .
