I would actually lose a little bit of faith in the transfer team if Tammy @ 40m is the best value striker we can find (because there sure are many others out there that wouldn't come close to that price tag). But are there any cheaper options out there that scored 15 Prem goals and are experienced in that league? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I'd still be looking for an older striker to fill in for 1 or 2 years as backup/plan b and to mentor the kids. Giroud / Cavani type. Would gives us more experience round a young squad and not be an unproven risk but equally not cost £40m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a good idea but the best ones seems to have been taken already… there’s a few that would still demand a hefty wage too. Any suggestions?

KenjiOgiwara Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Tammy would unquestionably strengthen us, but I don't see how there's a point throwing £ 40 million at Chelsea. I'm really not sure Chelsea are in a great position to ask a big fee. £ 20-25 million more likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are just guessing like the rest of us so you are being disingenuous in that comment. Wilson has played 254 out of 257 as a striker, so dont try and fit moving position into your narrative because it isnt true and unknown about playing our wide. You are just asserting that because he has pace. Wilson is a striker, end of! Wilson is 29 years old, no resell value and hasnt played at the top end of the table. Tammy has played at the top end of the table, load of experience and only 23 years old so has plenty of resell value if he didnt work out here in a couple of years time thus has a value of 40m. Have you checked out the length of Wilson’s contract ?????!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t we employ a lot of people for us to see value in the transfer market, where others don’t. Can’t see an option on Tammy, he’s either 100% yes or 100% no. We either back our judgement or we don’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if Tammy were to come and double his value over 2 seasons then at £40m he would be better value than a £15m striker that came and doubled his value? Signing a £15m striker who turns into an £80m would obviously be better - but highly unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I could never turn my nose up at Tammy. Love him. He sure would be an expensive backup to Ollie but its a helluva a strike force, Ollie, Tammy & Wesley? Thats some striker depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman22 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I feel like I've said this before but Tammy often plays off the left. He's said he prefers this position as he get more freedom and can cut in onto his right foot. A front line of: Watkins Tammy Grealish Buendia I think that could do some serious damage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think a fit Trezeguet offers the team as much, if not more. Just my opinion though, I know a lot of people on here love his silky skills (even though he loses the ball loads and is weak as piss).
