Tanner Released by Reading

over hyped bullshit most of the time

Signed for Motherwell, 2 year deal.

Motherwell FC is today delighted to confirm the signing of attacking midfielder Craig Tanner on a two-year deal.

The attacker is the Steelmen’s third signing of the summer window as the manager looks to rebuild his squad for the 2017/18 campaign.

The 22-year-old, who plays in behind the striker or on the wing, joins from Reading after an already promising career so far.

Tanner joined the Royals’ youth academy back in 2003 and spent 14-years with the club to date, making five appearances for the first-team including scoring on his debut against Newport.

However, the vast majority of his playing time career has been spent on loan at Plymouth Argyle, where the Englishman scored twelve goals in forty-one starts from deep across two spells at Home Park.

Speaking exclusively to MFC TV, Tanner said: “I’m delighted to have joined, having good talks about the club with Stephen Robinson and Martin Foyle. It’s a good day for me.

“I have a really positive feeling about the club and feel they are really building for the future.”

The new arrival provides Stephen Robinson with an exciting, creative, attacking option in midfield, which is something manager Robinson was keen to recruit to give his side a variety of options.

The ‘Well boss added: “Craig is a good signing for us and gives us something different again.

“He can unlock doors, playing in little pockets across the front three, left side/right side or in behind the striker.

“He is a really good signing for the club”

This is frankly alarming when the Motherwell boss claims "he is a really good signing for the club"......if he he believes hes signed a better player than he's lost what the hell have we ended up with with Ainsworth.
Tanner was crap at best

He's talking his signing up like any manager would do.

good luck to him, i really didnt feel del bhey would have signed him in the summer given he wasnt a regular for us last season in terms of starting nd certainly towards the end.

im sure he will do well at Motherwell.

Everyone is great at playing in pockets and unlocking doors when your eyes first meet across a crowded dancefloor.
It's called pollination. Doesn't last long.
Then comes the same old heavy lifting.

What does recycles possession mean. Does it mean he keeps the ball?

A talentless lunk? Clueless.

It used to be such a simple game.

Shape bot is what our absent Pres looks for - then moves in for the kill!
