Aside from a penalty goal he didnt really get involved in the playoffs.

I suspect we will wait on Tammy but only for so long. The problem is, we take a big risk waiting to see. A goal scorer is key to us staying up, if we miss out on other targets waiting to see what might happen with Tammy we will be in trouble. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long season in the Championship and he played nearly every game with no rotation, Tammy is a must signature, but we need another quality striker to rotate and freshen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 We need at least two quality strikers and some up and comers pushing for places from the academy. I think we can get on with signing players while we sort out the loanees we want to keep. There’s a little time to do this, but as has been pointed out the rest of the world ain’t gonna wait for us, or the players concerned, to make our minds up.

Rob182 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I’m torn on Tammy. I rate him highly, think he is bound to play for England a load of times, and think he could become a great English striker. But, he is still raw and still has plenty of games where he goes missing. I understand the latter is because he is young, and by paying extra for the ‘young with potential’ element within him, we’re gaining an asset that could become worth quadruple if he turns into the next Harry Kane (which isn’t completely unrealistic), however, my doubts for us signing him are based more on the fact that signing a raw, young striker for £20-£25m is a bold and potentially dangerous move for a newly promoted club. If everything clicks and we end up storming into a 10th-12th placed finish, then we could have hit the jackpot with Tammy. However, if we end up in a relegation battle, we might regret spending such a large sum on a player that has only ever been prolific in a second tier league. But, to flip it again, I don’t think 10 goals in a crap Swansea side is terrible. If nothing else, it shows promise for what an improved Tammy could do for us. So yeah, I’m not sitting on the fence at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is because he used to be a centre back when he first started playing football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted June 2, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) No striker signing we could make will guarantee us goals. You just cannot guarantee that no matter what level. What we do know we are getting with Tammy would be good work rate, attitude, settled, ambition, 26 league goals last season, and young and hungry. If he’s available then he should be our number 1 striker target. He is just as likely if not more likely to score 10-15 goals than any other striker we target.

Tommo_b Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Tammy could do a job. I’d be hesitant if he is our main striker tho, I just don’t think he will be able to slip away from defenders as easily in the premier league and get those poachers goals, and that’s pretty much his forte. That said I think Kodjia could do a job up too alongside him with his direct running allowing Tammy to exploit the spaces when defended double up on Kodjia... then again maybe he will become the next Alan Shearer.

LoughboroughLion Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) If we could get Tammy for £20-£25m I think it makes complete sense. Iheanacho went to Leicester for £25m and Tammy has way more potential and proven quality. It’s a risk, but if it wasn’t we’d be paying £40+m for a young English player gaurenteed prem goals. Couple him with a proven Prem Striker that wouldn’t cost the world and has a good attitude, potentially off the bench - like a King or Wood - and we’d be in a good place I think.

StanBalaban Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 At 21, English and with plenty of first team experience, Tammy can only be a great investment for the club. And with his continued coaching and development, the potential is there for him to get better and better. One thing for sure, his attitude is certainly not in doubt. Very rarely are strikers at their peak at 21, and I think a lot forget Tammy's age. To be put into context, he's 5 years younger than Jesse Lingard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Kodjia is anywhere close to being PL quality, neither is Hogan. We need at least 2 with Davis as back up. In an ideal world we would have 3 and loan Davis to the championship to continue hus development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can afford signing one championship striker and that should be Tammy. Considering we need a second striker I think that should be someone proven at a different level, but that's me. I think £ 25 million is wayyy too much for Tammy, but I guess the prices has inflated a bit since I last looked around. I'd be more comfortable around £ 15 million, but it's not my money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he might not be good enough for this level but can't see him and hogan both going. Be one or the other and I'd likely think it will be hogan on loan somewhere.

jacketspuds Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Abraham and Maupay? Now that would be impressive. As others have said, Abraham for £25m is a no-brainer. You can't really count his last PL season as a 19-year old in a poor Swansea side as a benchmark of how he would do under Smith. He is a much better player now.
