Marcus Tavernier is pushing for a Premier League move this Summer..

Jesus feller, he’s shared what talksport have said, it’s also been shared by Alex Crook on Twitter, you’re interrogating the poor guy like you’ve just found him in bed with your wife.

See some have tweeted to his TalkSport claim on Tav pushing for a move but can’t find him actually sharing same on Twitter.
Maybe wishful thinking on my part, but bottom line is I don’t believe that Tav is pushing for a move.

He wasn't missing, he still played every game he was fit, and probably ran more than any other player in the team during those games. You might not think that matters but it really does, as it contributes to pressure, and putting pressure on the opponents gets you the ball back quicker. It also freed up Crooks to work with Jones etc, if he wasn't as good or as fit/ doing a covering job then their stats would have suffered.

His average rating was second behind Crooks, his assists second behind Jones, 4th top scorer (ahead of a few strikers), joint second MOM, pass percentage was 4th of those who played more than 1000 minutes. A lot less yellows than Crooks, Jones and Howson, less bans etc.

Then consider what all those stats would have been if he played every game last year under Wilder, and if he had a decent player on the left beside him (he has both this year).

He's not going to be Iniesta.

If Spence is worth 12.5m to us + 7.5m of addons we might not get then Tav has to be worth at least 20m up front. We'd have to put £10m towards a less effective midfielder, but it would put £10m in the striker pot, which is getting more important by the day.

There's no point selling for 10-15m, we would get that or more next year, plus retain a good player on fair wages for a year (which is worth a lot).

So your saying he didn't go missing, I'm not disputing he played every game, I'm not disputing he ran around a lot, I'm also not disputing he improved towards the end of the season, but as an attacking Mid he was bang average for over 20 games. so if a prem team offer 15m then we should take it.... Fulham signed Harry Wilson for 12m.... I know which attacking mid I would rather have..
