[xXKonan]

Full name: Jonathan Glao Tah

​

Tah started playing football in Altona 93. Then he joined SC Concordia before being snapped up by Hamburger SV. On 4 August 2013, Tah made his competitive debut for Hamburger SV in DFB Cup match against SV Schott Jena. He made his Bundesliga debut on September 21, 2013 in a 2-0 home loss against Werder Bremen. He joined Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and has since been mostly a regular with the German Side.

According to various rumors we are interested in a possible transfer in January for Tah, as he would be a cheap option to reinforce the defense. Only 21 years old but he is a regular for Leverkusen for the most part.

 

[Nothanks]

All i know about him was that he was the guy to get in FM 15 haha

 

[DonAK]

Now this would be a great option. Prefer him over Iñigo.

Far more talented and already a mainstay for Leverkusen the last couple of seasons.

Tall, fast and strong. Also decent with the ball. Similar to Jerome Boateng.

 

[Messi983]

Why would he be cheap? He still has a contract until 2020.

25m release clause next summer.

25m release clause next summer.

Didn't know that, thanks. But we apparently want him already in January, when he'll be more expensive.

 

[Joan]

They might want to earn more january. I'd expect up to 35. Still not ecpensive if he proves himself to be useful.

 

[Jallo]

Sign him now Robert. I still remember him dominating us in the champions league at the camp nou 2 years ago. He is a brick wall.

 

[Truthist]

This guy is a beast!

 

[Luftstalag14]

Not that impressed.

 

[DonAK]

Not that impressed.

You're almost impossible to impress though

imagine that CB pairing of Umtiti-Tah

 

[Luftstalag14]

I am, it is just that I have not been impressed by some of the players linked to us, such as Coutinho and Tah

I don't know, every time I watched Leverkusen he just didn't stand out. Him and Brandt are overrated in my opinion.

 

[mia7007]

If he has 25m release clause next year let’s get him
Even we pay 5-10m more this winter
Get him and let Vermaelen leave

 

[Messi983]

They might want to earn more january. I'd expect up to 35. Still not ecpensive if he proves himself to be useful.

I could understand that from Leverkusen's standpoint (though they'd maybe prefer to keep him until end of the season than getting "only" 10M more, since they'll have problems to find a replacement in January) but from Barça standpoint wouldn't it be better to just buy Mina in January and wait for Tah's clause to drop so we can get them both for 35M.

Of course if there is any truth in us going after him at all.


Anyway, I'm happy to see rumours linking us to German and French players. I was never a fan of their NTs but they have a lot of great young talent so we should buy more of them to join MATS, Umtiti and Dembele.
