James Tarkowski -

I too wonder how the fans will react to "Tarko" back at Oldham for a month.

How, for example, would Harry Forrester be treated if his move to Doncaster happened during his contract and we got him back for a month.

I can't see it being pretty!

James Tarkowski -

good interview, wonder where he or mw sees him fitting into the team as I can't see him starting many games this season...
 

James Tarkowski -

He has played a couple of games in front of the back four.

One at Sheffield Utd where he stopped José Baxter being effective (other than him banging in a 35 yard free kick).

When he was busy making gaffs I thought we should have given him a go in midfield because he is very good on the ball, resolute in the tackle and can pick a pass. Never happened properly though.

But all his games bar the two I reference have been as an orthodox centre half.

Another Great Signing :sorted:
 

James Tarkowski -

Can Tarko play today. (Hause from Wycombe to Wolves!).
 

James Tarkowski -

Good interview with James, seems to be an intelligent footballer who want s to play for a team that likes to play "football" the right way !......he's a ball playing defender who likes the passing game.......he certainly not a heading/ hoofing machine.......I think he will get his chance to cement a place in the starting X1
 

James Tarkowski -

well there aren't many cracks that need filling
 

James Tarkowski -

James Tarkowski -

well if its polly we are talking about.....
 

James Tarkowski -

I think it's very good that we have a centre back, though he does seem a bit young/inexperienced, which does worry me..

I'm guessing MW and the upstairs are maybe looking to craft "the Brentford way" of playing football, so are signing young players who might end up staying until the academy starts producing first teamers? Give Tarks long enough and he'll forget he ever was an Oldham player!

To be blunt- signing a 21 year old from Oldham does seem fairly unexpected for a team leading the league and looking to play in the Championship next season.
Not trying to put anyone down, but maybe an old head would have been better? Keen to be proved wrong

Well he held his own in two games against Everton last season. Looked majestic at Anfield less than a month ago, causing Liverpool to bring on Suarez to pin him back. Has been a regular starter since Dickov left over a year ago. He knows this league very well. He is more than capable of stepping up a division if your lot can hold their nerve.

We wouldn't have signed him without watching him play....you clearly don't get the new Brentford philosophy ?....having watched Legge, Barrett and that oaf Flint in the last 2 games I prefer our policy

Not in Oldhams squad today, so what's the loan back all about?

But we do things differently, any player we get, with the odd exception , are ones that we can develop and increase their resale value

Have seen some of the "experienced" CB's that are around and certainly they can do a job but we will be expecting our CB's in the future to be footballers, comfortable on the ball and capable of bringing the ball out of defence

The days of Leon etc are a long way behind us and for my mind the new Brentford model is the way to progress

Goes on loan on 8th February I believe. Back in March to the Bees unless the football club want to extend it for 93 days in total, maybe with a recall clause for the last 62 days?
 

James Tarkowski -

Ah.....didn't know that.
Cheers
 

James Tarkowski -

Oldham paper reporting he could be back on
Loan for the rest of the season
 

James Tarkowski -

Read a lot of Oldham fans comments on this and as I expected they don't want him.

I agree with them really, I wouldn't be happy if the roles were reversed.

But a lot on here would have been happy if we had sold Forrester last Jan on condition he stayed with us the rest of the season

That would not make much sense given our lack of cover apart from Kev at centre back. Whilst Kev has shown that for the odd game he is more than capable of covering for either Harlee or TC we wouldn't want to be in a position where that was the case for several games and furthermore in that instance what if we were missing 2 out of 3 of Harlee, Kev and TC for a game?

Unless we can recall with 24 hours notice. We are getting first team action from him elsewhere and also mean we can have him if the worst happens...

It's a strange one. We had a brand new centre back pairing on Saturday and got a rare clean sheet. So developing that may be no bad thing. One lad played for Wales in Belgium and kept a clean sheet.

I'd assume he's cover for Kusunga and his iffy hamstring. But can see him starting on the bench.

No recall for 28 days on a loan deal.

Iffy Hamstring, I don't think I know him, what position?
 

James Tarkowski -

MW confirms on bees player that now a Brentford player and not going on loan to Oldham.Great news!
 

James Tarkowski -

I think good news. Not sure how Oldham fans would of reacted to him which you can understand to be fair.
