Who says it's going to cost 40 mill, no one but the idiots and media. And who says we’re interested? The media, yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other area's of the team are in more need of improvement and how many CL teams spend 40m on backup players, never mind a team building on it's second season in the PL? Already answered this a few pages back. Your only caveat is second season back but considering we are targeting Europe next season, almost all our competitors do as I laid out.

DCJonah Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I'd like Tammy but too expensive and too big a player to come to us for rotation. We do need a forward though. Relying on wes and Davis is madness when we have the aim to break into Europe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness its a pre season friendly and you can't legislate for what's happened there today, when a few are off it just doesn't work, even against Stoke Today showed that Ollie has off days and fortunately it’s only preseason and then we don’t have anything as an option, nothing to help us in that area, to get back in the game. It obviously won’t change the naysayers and even one person saying Brad Young could be that back up . Great kid with a bright future but not ready for a European place targeting team next season. I find it so bizarre some don’t seem the obvious in front of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't try you never know Because I’ve been watching him, he’s not ready on many different levels. If you’ve watched you can see that. He’s also not getting preseasons games like the other young kids so the management must agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean you should try though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know Dean loves Tammy and his style He fits the profile the club are looking for….young, great attitude and fits the squad and has PL experience A player that is great value between 25-40m because his current team look like they want to sell him for other purchases.

I agree, I want Tammy but if it’s not Tammy then it has to be quality to compete with Ollie. I don’t think that is Alvarez before somebody pipes in, whose a different type of player and a huge risk. I would love Alvarez in but not at the expense of another quality striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like it to happen but I think there's no chance. We don’t know his price, a few prices have been banded about. If Tammy leaves Chelsea, he’s not guaranteed he’s number 1 anywhere as I’ve argued many times by each club. I think Tammy would jump at the chance of joining us. I think if we want him we can get him. Just like most of our links for any player we’ve been speculated about it’s all dubious because the club keeps everything close to their chest but there’s hope because there has been some links.

Tammy has a connection and good experience at Villa I just don’t think it’s realistic that Tammy is going to come here and have to fight his way into our first team. Ollie is vital to our attack, whether he’s scoring or not IMO, don’t get me wrong I would love the luxury of signing Tammy as an option but we’re not in a position to do so. There has to be a middle ground, as in someone who offers more goal threat than Davis or Wes, but is content to fight for his place, and doesn’t cost £30m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s a possibility for a loan to option to buy we definitely should be over that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
