You were proved wrong about Jack on this positioning thing. You won’t accept it, which is your choice but I’m not going to debate or talk about it again. This is about Tammy. Watkins likes to drift left. When Jack does play centrally Jack likes to drift left. Watkins is likely to continue drifting left whether Jack is left or centrally being played. Some of the posts I see about this are humorous. You would think that Watkins was camped on the goal line for 90 minutes every game. Why do we need Wesley and Davis either if Watkins cannot be moved from the penalty area. Sod additions, Ollie will play the full 90 minutes of every single game this season including the cups.

F****g Nora! and if anybody complains about Dean and subs this season I’m going blow my lid and say that the first XI should play every minute of every game whether tired, injured, suspended, tactics aren’t working, we are losing and need more, form is awful or whatever…I don’t care if Ollie’s leg is falling off, if Cash is suspended for a game we just play with 10 men next game and we don’t bring somebody into the starting line up…every first XI plays every minute of every game. Dean cannot use subs at all because that’s the way some fans wanted it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted July 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2021 I wouldn't necessarily be against us signing Abraham if that's what Smith wanted, but I understand the reasoning why others wouldn't want to. There's a lot of other strikers out there who would cost a hell of a lot less than Abraham. Having 2 strikers with the ability of both Watkins and Abraham is something I'd like for Villa, but it's something that I kinda see happening in a year or two purely due to budget constraints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not aiming this at you btw, but I keep seeing this mentioned, but no examples of whole these other strikers are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the very idea that the only strikers available for us to sign is a list of; - Abraham Seems a bit silly. I'm sure our scouts have a huge list of potential strikers for us to sign if required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Well it's either people don't think he's good enough for us or the now magical price plucked from no where is £40 million and its too much money ? Or people are perfectly happy gambling on wes who has shown rare glimpses he could be good enough. ( before a potentially career ending injury) or davis. I find it odd as if Jack stays you can bet it's with caveats of finishing in Europe be it Cup or league and people are not wanting us to get a goal scorer who we know fits with our club which does nothing other than give us the greatest chance of obtaining it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had some links for Tammy, dubious or not and thus we are discussing Tammy fit for us. If somebody else is linked we can then discuss them.

You aren’t so I apologise. Most of the responses though are not about other options, most of the responses are we shouldn’t get a 2nd quality striker. The only name I’ve debated about is Eduoard who I’m not convinced is at the same level as Ollie or Tammy so I didn’t see the point. Others will differ. I think that’s the only one. I assume there are some names elsewhere of foreign league players I couldn’t be able to debate on because I don’t know them but on this thread most of the responses have been anti 2nd quality striker to the pro Tammy commenters.

If the remit is to sign a striker with Premier League experience who won't need time to settle and blah bah blah then the obvious choice is Tammy, for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
