tainio

Okay for Spurs, Okay for Sunderland. Average squad player at best for us. He is good with the ball at his feet, very tidy player but he wouldn't push for a first team place.
 
Eh? There's no source or anything in there at all. Are you suggesting he's actually signed for us? We were linked with him back in Houllier's day, I think, but he's done nothing since then to suggest he's good enough for Liverpool.
 
Just saw this on that link:

We all dream of a Teemu Tainios, Teemu Tainios, Teemu Tainios

Haha

the poster is 'legit' but he could possibly be joking.
 
I remember Cisse suggesting that we sign him in the press as they played well together at Auxerre.

Would be a bit of a Zenden signing a pretty disappointing substitute for Silva if true.

If true, I don't think it would have anything to do with Silva; he'd be coming, I presume, as cover for CM and defence.

I don't remember him ever playing in defence for Spurs - I remember him in the middle and out on the left.

Is my memory failing me?
 
Dunno, I was basing it on that comment in the RAWK thread. You're right, it would be devastating if Teemu Tainio was our main attacking signing this summer - I find that very hard to believe though.

Strange link this but I reckon you're spot on.

He's not really a proper attacking midfielder though, is he? More of a utility, defensive/right-sided or attacking midfielder. If we're signing him, it is as cover for Aqualini/Lucas

Rafa loves to throw a random signing in to keep everyone on their toes.

if only these random signings were ever any good.

Benayoun wasn't bad..
 
The blonde bloke from Spurs?

He's not even as good as Huddlestone who was laughed out of town on here last week.

Yeah, but I'm guessing Tainio would be a Bosman. Our list of freebie signings is enough to put anyone off.

i like yossi, he was a garcia replacement though rather than a random signing. when i think of random signings i think of players like voronin and zenden. this tainio is pretty much the same - the best of him isn't good enough for a mid table team let alone us.

i hope its not true.

Zenden. Hmmm, I'd erased him from my memory banks.
[/quote]

started in athens. nightmare.
 
Tainio was very good at Auxerre but has suffered an injury after injury since moving to Spurs(and Sunderland). Whenever he stays injury free for an extended period his form improves massively. Then he gets injured again.

If we could (big if) keep him fit he could be a good squad player but we have already signed one CM with worrying injury history so I would be amazed if we signed Tainio.

I think he played some games as right back at Spurs. Mostly a CM though with an odd game out wide.
 
I watch nearly all Sunderland games.

Which doesn't really help me judge Teemu, BECAUSE HE CAN'T EVEN GET ON FOR THEM.
