Well this one is coming from someone who has some credibility if that helps

This one seems fairly legit. Bulgarian football journalist followed by some credible accounts.

If Ntelo signs, think Obikwu will go out on loan again, hopefully L2 level again. He has potential but is not ready yet. Tavares I hope sticks around to be a useful impact sub this season.

For £1M, he's worth the gamble. Looks like he's got good afterburners on him as well.

Regarding Tav, I would try and extend his contract by another season and then find him a loan. Although I think he’d do well at league 1, I’d send him out to league 2 for guaranteed minutes at least until Jan

At the age of 23 I think a more conclusive decision needs to be made on his future with us. He’s been with us for over three years, so I think he’s past sending out on loan, unless it’s to get him of the wage bill.

I’m thinking more for us than him. For us, there’s talent there but he’s struggled with injury. So if we can get him to sign an extension and loan him out then it’s a win for us with very little downside. If it goes well then we’ve got another asset to either use or sell, if it goes badly he’s on cheap wages and we could probably let him go for free next summer anyway.

If I was him though, I’d be looking for a permanent move away and a new start

We have 20 places available in the matchday squad and will clearly have more than that in our squad. Some wont even make the bench.

Yep. I would keep him around though as he has that pace to trouble tired defences and has developed an ability to put in useful crosses from the right too. No guarantee that Tatsu has fully recovered from injury and new RW is untried. I know many (most?) will disagree but I would keep him in the squad.

Does he want to be sat here not even making the bench though? He needs regular football.

If I were him I would be giving it a good go with us, given our current squad situation, then reassess in January.

And what if he gets nowhere near the team and wastes another 6 months of his career? Our current situation is probably better in his position than it was before he was injured.

I agree.

When Tatsu was injured there were initial concerns that he may never walk again, never mind play professional football.

He does seem to be on track to make a full physical recovery but it remains to be seen how he will be mentally. There will be some teams who will try and rough him up to remind him of his injury. Some players can overcome that but not all will.

I really hope that he makes a total recovery for he is one of our best players and without doubt the most exciting.

I think when you take into account Bristol City signed Sinclair Armstrong for 2.5m who for all his pace and power, doesn’t have any footballing ability, you realise less than £1m is pretty good for a centre forward

In the 6 decades I've been going, I've been privileged to see some fine players turn out in sky blue. Tats is one of the few that has got me on the edge of my seat. he's a joy to watch.

Looks to have some raw talent. Worth a gamble I think.

Who’s the bearded number 14 who creates the first goal in the clip? Based just on that - which I appreciate isn’t much - he looks useful.

I would certainly give it until the season starts. If he moves it still needs to be the right move, rather than just a move. There is also the continuity of his rehab to consider. If he is happy why not make sure you are fully fit from a full preseason before moving?

Lots of things to consider really.

He needs to go on loan full stop. If thats now or end of August doesnt make too much difference really.

I don't know why its a topic of conversation on this thread but i suspect Tavares sticking around or being loaned out depends largely on how Robins views Rodrigues in pre season.

For me, as my user name suggests, Tommy Hutch was the 1st player to really get me on the edge of my seat.
