Mic09 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Leicester have 2 very good strikers and play with 1 up front. No reason Villa couldn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have Davis and Wesley in the squad. Not to mention Louie Barry who is coming through. Unless we are getting them off the pay bill i see it as a zero chance in us signing Tammy.

Bring in Tammy, and get either of Davies/Wesley on loan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry is a better prospect than Tammy anyways. No thanks. 40+ million when we already have better in our own ranks, naah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks. 40+ million when we already have better in our own ranks, naah. Tammy is a PL ready striker. Barry is a 17 year old that, while very promising, might not even make it in professional football in 3 years time. More promising players have struggled to follow through, although I hope we have a real jewel there. Plus, I think Tammy is more of a 30m striker now which is a price the club would be willing to pay. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Buy Tammy Pay off / get rid of Davis Start the season with Watkins & Tammy, Wes can continue his rehabilitation at the club getting minutes here and there / backup for injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 He would be a useful aquisition but unless we change our formation theres no way he would be a starter and no way would I push Watkins out wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I mean when I referenced Leicester - let Watkins be our Vardy and Tammy our Iheanacho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like a very good summer to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the owners are committing another £100m of "new" money (and I have no reason to believe they won't) and we can raise £40m odd from actual player sales we could spend £40m on Tammy and still have £100m for wingers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First game of the season. Who plays #9? Because whoever is on the bench, is very, very **** off. We're not good enough yet for two strikers of their ilk.

Villaphan04 Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 don’t see the reasoning to drop 40 mil on a backup striker when we have glaring needs on the wing /attacking midfield plus we don’t really ever play with 2 strikers for more than 20 mins if at all.

Zatman Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 yeah we arent signing Tammy for the money that is being asked for. Not sure he would join us either as think West Ham be a more likely move Sad for him as last season he was probably nailed on for an England squad but now is about 5th or 6th choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted May 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 16, 2021 Remember when we signed Sanson because he was a long term target and the opportunity was too good to miss? That was Purslow and our owners. I can see a similar situation with Tammy. DS knows him and his attitude, which has always seemed spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't be a back up striker. Someone like Tammy becomes available you sign him. Regardless if issues elsewhere. You sign him. We aren't short of cash either anyway.

We'd lose our press, not to mention I think Watkins is actually a better player No FFP and I'd say sure why not but we won't have unlimited funding and there are bigger needs in the squad, we need a winger and a 10 to make Ollie a 20 goal striker not another potential 20 goal striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
