Personally, footie aside I hope Tav gets his move. He has been a loyal servant to the club and created Records that a full back can only dream of. Yes, he is past his best as has been documented so much in the last year, but if he does leave for Turkey he goes with my blessing and he will go down as one of the top right backs to wear our colours .
Instead of hanging around and taking flack after every game, I hope the lad gets his move and thrives . From the lower leagues to a europa final and #55. Sure it should have been more trophies but that's not all down to him . not bad at all imo.

why do you think he wants a move. No-one has said that and also according to John only 1 club has enquired about him.

Angus I do not feel That tav believes it’s the right time to leave.
10 Sep 2024 07:18:01
Neither do i John, I honestly don't think tav will be leaving at this particular time ? Remember, this is tav's testimonial year and imo deserves it as he's given great service and contribution to our club and been very loyal, which is a rare commodity at any club nowadays ??? ??.

Shame he's going to get abuse guys unless he gets his mojo back, sad to see him fade from what was a great player, kinder to him if he went tbh, he's just not cutting it now.
10 Sep 2024 07:59:21
He ain’t gona leave but the toxicity from fans whether you believe it’s right or wrong is only going to get worse.

Walter very hard to leave when no one wants you.
Least we know league won’t be won with him still here.
10 Sep 2024 08:55:34
Shame if he doesn't leave.
10 Sep 2024 09:12:22
He’s only been very loyal because nobody has ever come in for him until that one rumoured bid earlier in the summer which tells you all you need to know.

Maybe if he didn't play every single minute of every game we would see an improvement in his overall game and bring on another rb too.
10 Sep 2024 10:24:29
Tav takes a lot of stick, admittedly his defensive skills are lacking but let’s be honest, The team as whole is very poor. The signings by koppen haven’t been very good at all. Although we’ve still to see a few play yet so maybe there is something better to come.
10 Sep 2024 10:24:39
At this point I don't care if he leaves but he cannot be our RB for the rest of the season. He has lost too much pace and his positional sense is the worst that its been. Just drop him, that's the bare minimum that needs to happen!

We need to sell when players are at their peak, we shouldn’t be offering lucrative contracts to those over 28 unless they are exceptional and it’s been a long time since any one of ours was in that bracket. Put yourselves in Tavs boots would you walk away from a lucrative contract just because you aren’t playing well, no of course you wouldn’t . The problem lies at the door of the person who gave him the deal, so get used to seeing his name on the team sheet.

It will be interesting in a few years to come when he does a podcast to find out if anyone actually wanted him during his time with us. Loyalty does not come into question when your employer is paying above award wages for a defender who’s stats mask his actual ability. Last season we questioned his pace during preseason and hoped it was because he bulked up in the gym now. Now it’s clear he’s just past his best. Why can’t any of our managers see this though as he’s seen them all come and go.

Tav. has unique skills, as a dead ball expert and shooting from outside the box. The manager obviously sees that and likes his contribution, but he should also see clubs identify Tav’s lost of speed and poor positioning.
Manager should be able to alter tactics to make use of Tav’s strengths and minimise his weaknesses.
10 Sep 2024 13:29:36
In all honesty I believe he will be rotated in and out the team .
