But that part "as long as he understood he couldn't be the main man". He was never going to accept that.
I understand he's a competitive beast, all the greats are and back themselves to be the best player out there however old they are, but he was never going to accept being the Second Act. He has a massive ego (understandably). But it's not part of his nature.
But it's not my club, saw it coming and thought oh dear man, what have you'se done.
Man, Mane is not near his level but I saw him repeatedly sulk when substituted the last 2-3 years, I can't get how in team meetings or one on one's how coaches can't get it through players heads they have teammates sitting on the bench or repeatedly getting subbed, they don't sulk, and ask them are you part of the team or playing for yourself?
"Tim's very rounded," Leon Cameron said of Taranto. (A 2019 article)
"What I love is his flexibility. He plays on the wing, he plays inside and he plays forward. To learn that early in (his career) is really good.
"There's never any complaining. If I say, 'You're going to play more forward today', he'll go, 'Yep, not a problem'. I think that's why he's captured the whole group – his attitude is just spot on."
That's the attitude I love and can't wait to see this guy in the yellow and black!!
It really annoys me seeing players sulk when substituted out or sulking when sitting on the bench.
If I was the 12-20th best player in the squad I wouldn't be happy with them man
