If Jack goes 0121 I could see us trying for an Odegaard level replacement. Nothing wrong with adding some expensive depth. Tammy knows he can come here and do a job, that lads got the goods to make you lot jiz a second time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 3 minutes ago, RichiBoi11 said: We can do 2 domestic loans a season, so it's completely possible that deals for Tammy and Axel could be with the view to sign them next summer. I couldn't see us taking either on loan though if we couldn't sign them at the end of it. Also Axel only has 12 months left on his contract which muddies that a bit, but I'm sure they have an extension they can trigger. I'd be down for both as both are from our championship promotion team who came here and did one heck of a job for us. I have no doubt that they could come here and be stars a second time coming. Loans deals with the option to buy would be best for the club although I don't think Axel would be much to buy now would he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Yesterday the Telegraph were reporting that Chelsea were expecting us to bid for Abraham if Grealish left, so I imagine they're reporting that we want him today because they believe that Grealish to City is going to happen. I like Abraham and think he's bizarrely underrated on here, but wouldn't be unsure about us spending a large chunk of the Grealish fee on him and Ward Prowse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point, Liam, is that the past is the past. Neither of those signings really make objective sense in the present and I feel that those calling for them are fueled by sentimentality. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostalgia over common sense Yeah what you say is true in related to the Injurys and all that, some good memory knowledge there Kiwi. I understand you want the next step up insignings, so do I to be fair but it maybe that we have to get the likes of Tammy and Axel for a while to get to that next step in signings. Maybe Smith sees that this is the step in the right direction. Also I believe Axel and his injuries would be coming here for game time but it'd be a backup role and not as intense as our champ season. I do actually think were trying to strengthen in a way that makes rotating much stronger than we won't see our normal first eleven all season and risk greater injury to them. It's alot of money down the drain if one of our stars has a Trezegeut/Wesley injury and yes it can happen to anyone in our squad because football is becoming more ruthless with these type of injuries.

Hopefully the days of bargain basement buys are behind us. If they came in did a job then we should always be on the look out for a good little deal that's cheap as hell. As long as they were worth the risk of bringing in and that the player could take a part and when called upon did ace or the best he could, I don't see a problem with it.
