Popular Post weedman Posted March 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2023 At this point I can't wait for Tammy Abraham to retire so I don't have to constantly see people pining after him like he's the second coming of Messi. He was a good championship striker, probably be a decent PL option now but not better than Watkins and a total waste of £35m plus about £100k a week to be a backup to do essentially the same job as Duran is doing now 12 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasnt for fact that he's probably on about 300k a week and I'm always a bit wary of young prodigees entering final years of their career I'd be all over this. We also have an abysmal track record of signing "big" players on way down in their careers. Has it ever worked out? However this man LOVES Villa Park he'd score a ridiculous amount of goals if he played there all the time.

Stevo985 Posted March 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 20, 2023 I desperately hope Tammy signs for a different club this summer so we can have some time off from being linked with him every 5 minutes 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine a few CL clubs are waiting to pounce. Almada is going to be a huge name in the coming years. Atlanta spent big to bring him in so it would take a big fee to prize him away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a decent player, but would probably cost a bit as Fulham only signed him in the summer, and they are no threat of relegation so have no reason to sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When ollie went through a terrible run of form (not just under gerrrad) we needed a 2ns striker to compete with him. Duran looks likw he has massive potential but im not sure he is ready if ollie got t injured. On saturday we saw glimpses again of watkins at his worst missing a 1 on 1. We all knew what he was going to do before he even struck it. Against sides like chelsea ams utd you need your strikers to take those chances. Rashford wouls score that, kane would, even mitrovic probably would. You need a 2nd striker here to keep ollie on his toes ans i think tammy is good enough. I remember people were turning their noses up at trippier ans look at how thats worked out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Marcus Edwards surely on our radar. Think Pauliniha's being linked to Liverpool but Fulham confident they'll keep him for one more season regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same.....They are a good outfit...a good hunting ground is Sporting. I like Ugarte too, bit rash in the challenge, but I do like him, for the squad. we have to think beyond the first 11 now, and need some variation to change games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hw also tried ings and watkins together too I think as Watkins has played as a winger / wide forward before he can operate with a lead the line striker I'm sure. A big physical and quick player. For me Bailey is at his best operating from Right Mid. Emery wants different types of players for different roles and different set ups. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
