Cristian Tello

[AnfieldEd]

Cuenca close to join Elche



How this affect the Mohahmed Salah deal? (it is a bit off topic but a Egyptian I am interested to know)

It doesn't and the Tello rumours are just that - nothing substantial at all.

 

[Egert]

The guy is awful this season. I don't remember these moves during this season:

Yeah, he hasnt been at his best... Many reasons for that maybe.

 

[Neymessi]

tello is faster than light. Hope he capitalizes on that aspect more. Once you are fast enough than your marker you can run racing on the wings and then just whip a ground cross in for messi to score.

Tello's agent will in coming days meet with Barcelona to discuss a possible loan. Valencia made him an offer, Liverpool also interested [md]

 

[André]

I hope we loan him. It would be the best decision for both club and Tello, at least until next season.

We should keep him in January. 3 players for 2 positions is not enough. We should sell him in the summer window though, especially if Deulo returns.

 

[PhilS]

I hope he can become a regular substitute for the remainder of this season, get back to the role he performed so well in the past. Yes, I can see him coming in for a tired Neymar and winning some games. Or on the right side.

He does need to start taking better advantage soon of what playing time he gets. Tata is going to need to rotate even more over the second half, and Tello is just one injury away from being needed in the starting lineup every other game or so. He's not going anywhere this month unless an alternative is brought in, and the team has already announced there will be no January changes. He might well leave next summer unless he plays better.

 

[Jadentheman]

He'll get plenty of play time. Main players will be rested for World Cup, so Tello can step up

[Egert]

Why cant he play CF role instead of Cesc? He has more speed and Cesc seems to score more from midfield. At LW he has too much competition: Neymar, Pedro and Sanchez who can play there.
In the middle he would only have Messi. If we want to rest Messi or he gets injured we could play Tello. Maybe stupid idea but....

 

[te amo barca]

Play him as a poacher you say?

 

[Semi-Neutral]

He has a poor first touch and does best when he has a lot of space. Not amazing at one-touch passing either, certainly not good enough for false nine.

 

[abual3bed1]

He can improve with minutes. Being the the player with the least minutes of the season so far isn't doing him any good.

 

[Jadentheman]

He has a poor first touch and does best when he has a lot of space. Not amazing at one-touch passing either, certainly not good enough for false nine.

Not false nine, but classic number 9 striker. Although with a poor first touch he might not be good for that role either

 

[NeyMesSis]

played really great in training game
