I am not sure Tammy is any better than Watkins, this was what we all satisfied ourselves with when both were around in the PL. Watkins seemed to have a better all round game as well as the goals with both head and feet, and Tammy was more of a static ‘in the box’ player who needed about 10 shots per goal. Serie A is a lot slower than the PL, maybe he’s found his groove, but maybe Watkins would equally shine if he went there? I think there is a rose tinted view of Tammy here, yes he is having a purple patch but don’t forget the fundamentals.
Apologies if posted already.

The simple answer is he’s just good at what he does. Makes himself a fortune, makes his clients a fortune, gets clubs what they want and they will pay the price, happy or not. He’s symptomatic of the awful agent culture. I don’t blame him - he’s making good business playing the game. It’s the game that’s ****.
If he makes his players a fortune and gets them the move he wants, why wouldn’t they hire him? Doesn’t stop him being a Grade A cock.
I suspect we will see SJM up there in one of those 10 spots should we strengthen the midfield further. But yes those two should be playing together more with a strengthened midfield.
