No way could it have been dinosaur Bruce. Maybe it was..... unless he really fancies playing at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I love a good poacher. Hoping he's a throwback to Darren Bent's first year with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifamad Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) I maybe the only person not excited by this signing. I think he’s a highly over rated player, he looks so awkward on the ball, gets tangled up in his own feet a lot, he has scored goals in the championship before I know but when I’ve watched him play a lot for Swansea he looked very poor. I’m not too exited by this signing but will be interested to see if he can prove me wrong. Edit: PS I also believe we badly needed a decent defender or two more than a striker as we have plenty of options attacking wise.

Our other options were Hogan and davis who have scored less than 10 goals between them and injury prone RHM. I think this is a terrific signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Swansea supporting mate said he reckoned that Tammy was the best signing of the summer in the whole Championship (and I don't think he was winding me up). The only worry is that he said the Swans didn't get the best out of him because the supply was poor.... Just hope that a "good supply" is aimless punts up the pitch from the defence - if so then we should be sorted!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praisedmambo Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 We needed a striker more than anything. Against Reading Kodjia looked knackered and we had no decent option to change your front. Now we have two strikers with decent records at this level we might be able to maintain our performance through the whole 90(+) minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Did you all see that trolling gif that villa had posted of Theresa May dancing or trying to while visiting south Africa, with the words (When you realise a loan signing ‘may’ be imminent). Its good when you sign a PL player and mock the priminister at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry that Bruce shares your logic of 'he's tall enough for hoofball' Whilst he will be better at bringing long balls down than Hogan or RHM if you watch his goals for Bristol City he is more of a poacher than a target man. Hopefully we bin off this old school footballing style, but unfortunately whilst Bruce is still here we won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) He's not a loan to buy is he. Would of been great If we could of had the option to make him permanent, how much would Tammy be worth?? Find it funny that before the transfer window closed, spurs tried to make a bid and Chelsea was no way, not to rivals. Am I rite in the info I am seeing on the net, that we will of paid 9 mill for this season long loan?? Edited September 1, 2018 by Dave-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually seems sincere too. Kind of gives you a snapshot into the influence he would have had on the players last season in terms of lifting the morale and building something solid. People credit Bruce for this and he deserves some credit for signing him, but Bruce without Terry so far has been more than shaky. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
