Third option (and one that will be believed by opposition fans) will always be that we planned to spend less than £100m until we decided to cash in on Jack and spent that fee. Which is what will be used between now and deadline day I'd have thought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be on loan in League One asap as I feel like - if the comparisons to Vardy do ring true, it could really be the making of him playing men's football and proving he can bully senior defenders. He's been the one I'm most excited by when seeing them play. Barry looked decent but Young just seemed to play like he had the mentality to take the piss out of defenders Agree. He looks the closest to being ready IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if Jack is in behind those two then you need a kante and speedy energetic left back that can cross and beat a man as well as tackle hard. Then even that team will struggle to break down an opponent that drops deep and defends in numbers and doubles up of Jack. Easily cancelled out. Bissouma is very good, he may even be the new Kante, but he wouldn't be enough. Maybe if we could get De-Bruyne to join Jack in a box 4 in midfield, then a sitting DM alongside Bissouma and then a raiding left back like Ashley Cole.

VillanousOne Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Not saying The Mirror know anything, but I would love it if we brought Abraham back. Not a priority signing, but if Barry isn't ready, we need another option other than Davies and Wes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he's given up on Wes, but we have no clear idea how he will be next season. I think the end is for Davis. Yes having Ollie, Tammy and Wes seems like a lot but gives us options and depends where Wes can play as well. Options are always good and three strikers in a 25 man squad isnt excessive either.

Philosopher Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Integrating Tammy into the first requires dropping Watkins and relaxing the press. So not really practical, especially as Ollie is better than Tammy. Having him as Competition for Ollie means Tammy sitting on the bench alot, which considering he would be leaving Chelsea for first team football won't go down well with him. So not practical for Tammy. We would have to move on Wesley as he definitely won't be happy if Tammy does come in. So finding him a buyer, a player that hasn't been fully fit for 18 months, with questions over whether he can make it in a top league, means a massive loss. Not practical. Also Wesley would actually make a good partner for Ollie. As he also press quite well and likes to drop off and link up with midfield. He is also good with his back to goal so long as the ball is kept on the deck. So he would actually be a better option off the bench than Tammy. So there you have it Tammy! Tammy to Villa simply isn't practical, so won't happen! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will happen to provide more competition, I understand your points but this isnt a 11 man game it's a squad game and I could list out more points but I'm being lazy and watching the Wales game. I think it will happen and perfect for us, and appropriate for us trying to have squad depth and options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but I think our best possible front four is Tammy up front, Jack, Beundia and Ollie behind. That is proper top 6 stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the season starts and we see how the players that we have and have brought are working together then I'll worry about who goes where but at this point it's giving us options because we have players that can play a number of positions and we need players that gives us options.
