Came to us on loan, did an incredible job for us, went back to his boyhood club to see if he could make it there, and when it was assumed he couldn’t? He went to another massive club and seems to be doing spectacularly well for himself. Gwan Tammy! Yep, I'm a big Tammy fan. Great professional and an interesting player.

Demitri_C Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 And people were laughing at me when they said he wouldnt be happy being on the bench as watkins would be the main man. Tammy is a much superior striker to watkins. Im really happy for him though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is Ings who is mainly the 2nd striker as well so Tammy would probably be in the same position as Ings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year I would agree Last summer when we built our team around a high press and Watkins was as good as anyone at it I didn't Tammy is a better fit to Gerrards villa for sure Also worth pointing out Roma are a better team than us, Tammy would score less goals in this mess of a Villa team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Imagine tammy havin countinho bailey, buendia as creative outlets. Tammy would thrive.

What benefit would Roma have for selling him and why would he leave Rome to live in Birmingham Even the team he played with isnt here anymore, its just Mings, Hause and McGinn and some of them might not be here after the summer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pas5898 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 FWIW (not a lot), I was personally Abraham joining us in the last 2 summer windows. Reason being, for us in the championship he was wasteful in front of goal. Yes he scored, but he would miss 2/3 very good opportunities a game. In the premier league for us he wouldn't get that many chances. I don't watch much Italian football but it looks like his finishing is getting a lot better. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but he was a risky proposition at that time, especially as we already has Watkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premier league is where the money is. Like what Serie A was like in the late 80s/early 90s. I am sure he will be be back within 18 months or so. The Roma move has been a good one for him but if someone like Newcastle come in, he would be off like a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Main question is why would he want to come back to the prem? Bit frustrating anyway 12 months back endless people arguing there was no point saying him as Ollie was just this amazing striker. Now here we are with Watkins having a more limited second season and we've got an older Tammy in Ings who hasn't scored many goals at all for numerous reasons. Think this ship has sailed anyway as he won't want to just join a mid table team on his eventual return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt under DS we'd have just dumped Ollie on the bench after his successful first season but ultimately he hasn't kicked on to become better and instead now looks every inch a mid table prem striker with all those pros and cons. Sometimes you do have to play the long game and we'd certainly be stronger with Tammy as lead CF and Ollie as alternative on the bench compared to probably having to go into next season hoping one of him or Ings can hit the ground running or Gerrard can work out an effective system for both. Don't forget aswell in July people on here were genuinely arguing they were happy for us to play another season with just Wesley and Davis as back up!
