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 That kind of player is still going to cost 20m plus for quality, so I’d rather pay a bit extra and get a low risk purchase in Tammy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Chelsea just sold a youth player with no Premier league games played for around £20 million. Tammy would be easily over £30 Mill in my opinion. I'll be utterly amazed if he went for less. I can't claim to know what Tammy thinks but at this stage in his career I think he would to know he's playing week in week out. We can't offer that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 4 minutes ago, nick76 said: 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. I'd rather go an aggressive 433 with Jack Emi and Traore at the moment if we couldn't start Ollie. Wes was stupid today and it hinders our planning, purely as a business sense we need to know what Wes can do, how fit he is etc. We need him or a another to be serious about targeting those above us as you keep saying. If we can find a spot somewhere for him I'd rather not gamble, I'd shift Wes and buy. I'd possibly keep KD for when we need someone to hold the ball up to kill games off near the end when we're winning and it's tight, but that would depend on who we bring in, as a loan for him would help his confidence.

I think if Arsenal spent the money they would. I think West ham and palace would as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Tammy is a 35m player at least and that's why we want him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted July 24, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2021 How much would Tammy be on? My guess is that he’d be the second highest paid player at Villa if he were to sign. Sound about accurate? It’s another factor why I can’t see it happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 £30m and £100k a week minimum if I had to guess Watkins rumoured to be on £75k a week so he'd want a new deal too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the same You can make an argument about what role each would play if we had both Watkins and Tammy but you'd at least have to agree that they'd be paid the same! Would mean a pay rise for Ollie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was still a skinny and unproven kid. Takes some brass to throw a 17 year old straight into the Prem. Not sure we would have done it if we had a 17 year old Greenwood in our U23 side. We'd be far more likely sending him out on a loan before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Depending on reports he’s on between 57k and 82k. Not necessarily he’d automatically get a pay rise on a move so he could be on the same pay as Ollie and probably the same as some of the others that are getting new deals.

The arsenal links yesterday say £125k a week but obviously take that with a pinch of salt £50k a week more than what Ollie reportedly earns, which you can also take with a pinch of salt cos £75k for Ollie sounds high Edit - found another site saying Ollie is on £45k a week Edited July 24, 2021 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Greenwood would’ve benefited more from it, does many young talented players good than staying at their club in the early years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abraham just isn't very realistic He become realistic when we have Watkins who can't score and Wesley who screws about like that and can't score and we'll Davis who's what scored one goals since god knows when. How can you or anyone bloody write this crap pretending there isn't a problem with having just Watkins as our only decent forward?? The same people were most likely the same ones shouting to get Grealish backup, everyone had common sense to see that without bringing Buendia in we would've a one man team relying on Jack. As it stand with just Watkins we will be that reliant on just his goals the moment he goes down for any reason that's it season is done because we will struggle. Getting in another serious Forward isn't hard to figure out as we can't rely on just Watkins for a while seasonanymore than we could Jack last. It's a disaster waiting to happen it is but you won't listen to reason till it all goes wrong and then having the ones who foreseen it tell you so.
