I do agree with you though, to get to next level we have to forget about saving coins, we have to spend or we will e in this league to make the numbers up. I agree.

rubberman Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Just as in the great circle of life, so the transfers thread comes back to Tammy speculation after 1100+ pages. Must be almost Milner time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Darren Bent has apparently told WBA to sign Abraham. We need to sign Tammy just to stop him helping them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not bothered about Abraham in any way, and certainly not at £55m. I don’t get why some Villa fans obsess over Abraham and Tuanzebe, they’re history to us and didn’t want to stick around. We HAVE Konsa and Watkins who both look to be coming along nicely. We need a squad. If Samatta goes we could start the season with two fit strikers in Watkins and Davis. That's scary and very foolish. We already saw last season what starting with few strikers did. Even if Samatta stays are you happy with Watkins, Davis and Samatta as our strikers, I'm not. Watkins is the future but until Wes comes back we are short, and yes we could use our wide people to help if the worst case scenario happens and Watkins gets injured or worse that Watkins doesnt work out. For me we need another top striker from a squad point of view that is competing with Watkins and eventually Wes for the starting position(s). As for Tammy, yes he's the past but also proven and could be future as he is proven. To have in your squad Ollie, Tammy and Wes is great from injuries, form, tactics, options. Just like in the wide positions you have Traore, Rashica and Grealish for only two positions. It gives you options. We now have to think about more than just first XI. This isnt about whether Watkins is right or not, it's about the long season, the various options we have. Whether it is Tammy or not we need another top notch striker otherwise we are very short in that area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made In Aston Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Rashica, Traore and Watkins call all play through the centre or out wide. I suspect we will have a fluid front 4 (Inc Grealish) interchanging positions this season, with Mcginn and Luiz staying deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the King links suddenly came out of nowhere and have since disappeared. On 7th September Percy tweeted this... Then two days later we confirmed Watkins and since then we've not heard a thing about King. Proof that Percy is a clown and knows nothing. Said it back then and got blowback 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WakefieldVillan Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 31 minutes ago, Dave-R said: Everything you said was ok till you said Ghazi as a wide option, that's entirely the reason why if we buy Traore we need another Winger as well I think we have to be realistic though Dave. If we do manage to sign Rashica and Traore and a big name striker (Tammy/Edouard) then I can't personally see us signing another winger/wide forward. I know we had the King links, he wouldn't be a bad signing at a decent price - but if we're raiding Bournemouth then Brooks is the man I'd want. Buendia would be nice too. Anyway it would be great if we did but I would prioritise a quality new ACM, CB and LB all before that (at this stage). It's a big season though for Anwar if we get this competition in, I think there's still a player in there - it's up to him if he grasps the opportunities when they arrive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great for Chelsea, Werner wouldn’t come to us, Thiago to Liverpool for 20m wouldn’t come to us. We have to pay what we have to pay to get the next level player, Tammy would be awesome. Tammy isn't worth 33m imo. Chelsea fans don't rate him. Overrated! Watkins will prove to be better. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Tammy scored 15 but had an expected goals of 19.28. Which means he should've scored more. A top strikers get more than goals than expected definitely not less. Overrated. Edit: Those are Premier league stats BTW.
