What's next for Tella? We activate the previously unrevealed buy back clause. Tella cries and launches a #freetella campaign. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy_D Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Won the league before they lost a game, could well go on to an invincible season, including in Europe. That’s one way to win a maiden title! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great respect for Alonso rejecting the Liverpool approach as well. Can’t believe he will miss out on those special European nights there. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Good for our stepping stone club sales pitch. That loan at Burnley has made his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Great story for him, I'm sure this wasn't even in his wildest dreams. Those Spurs guys must have totally jinxed Bayern. I reckon the best way to stop the City juggernaut is to give them Harry Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When managers announce they are leaving before the season ends their teams tend to drop off in intensity and results suffer, and obvs they have the opportunity to achieve something incredible! It's unlikely he can better this season, so strong argument to get out whilst his stock is highest, unless he's waiting for Madrid. Massive congrats Tella!

He’ll want to cement a place in the team though, he’s only started I believe 5 times in the league. Much better than going to Burnley though…..

Bayer Leverkusen scored late on to keep their invincible season going. Yeah he was shocking for them in that first half sadly, can see why he's been a sub for them. Not sure if they went weak generally in that first half, but they were tons better 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted Tuesday at 07:35 Share Posted Tuesday at 07:35 Well done Nathan, hard luck Harry. Whilst Harry Kane moved to Bayern Munich expecting to win trophies he finishes the season empty-handed, despite clocking up around 35 goals whilst Bayern's reputation was cruelly shattered, and they finished a poor third in the Bundesliga without winning anything. Compare now the good fortune of Nathan Tella. Never really a regular starter under Hasenhuttl, he had a brilliant season on loan at Burnley and was their top scorer in helping them get promotion in 2022-23. Burnley (to their shame) were too tight-fisted to meet Saints asking price (16 million ?) , and then even Saints saw his departure as an economic gain when selling him to Leverkusen for ... (a reputed 23 million), and he disappeared into the morass of young British players seeking to make a career in European football, but my goodness ... didn't he do well ! Now Nathan finishes his first season as a part of the invincible Leverkusen squad who became Bundesliga title winners... and left Bayern in the dust. Although rarely in the starting line-up, Nathan was almost always in the squad and made a long row of sub. appearances, (often replacing the highly-impressive Frimpong ) whilst also picking up a handful of goals and a valuable number of assists. Congratulations and well done Nathan. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
