RobinJMc Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Hi all, My first post on otib, just wanted to discuss how we can live without tammy. I'm sure this has been discussed alot. Basically, I think we need to be looking at a permanent signing instead of trying to replace his loan. Who would your suggestions be? I'd like to see us take a risk on a player with a good track record whos not getting alot of games - or maybe an affordable top championship striker. Gary Hooper??

kiwicolin Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Ruben Loftus-Cheek will demand a loan move away from Chelsea because the 21-year-old midfielder has grown disillusioned with the limited opportunities he has been given by Antonio Conte this season. Might be worth a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I think we'll replace the need for his goals by being a much less open team. Not saying we'll concede 26 less goals but I think we'll do much better next season and the need for such a huge amount from 1 player will lessen. Famara Diedhiou for me would be the replacement.

1960maaan Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I am at heart a realist , but when it comes to City I also try to look on the bright side so here's my little ray of sunshine. In the last two years we have taken a French League 2 player , and a young lad in his first year of men's football and managed to get 20+ goals a year out of them. In those 2 years (admittedly using a hit and miss memory) not many goals have been totally individual efforts, and so that says , although we have been pretty shit for the most part, we make a decent amount of chances. In fact I believe we had amongst the highest number of shots AT goal , how many were on target is another matter. We have a very good target man, and two support strikers (if Envall is given a chance ) and a midfield that toward the end of the season had finally started to support the forwards effectively. I think if we can find a reasonably effective Championship forward , someone like Wells maybe , I think we could be ok. Sign a good striker and quality in a couple of other areas we may have a better than ok season. Needless to say it will be a big, big summer.

After watching Grabban last night against Fulham I was disappointed with how wasteful he was with chances. Looks a lot more like a Taylor kind of workhorse player as opposed to Tammy.

Looks a lot more like a Taylor kind of workhorse player as opposed to Tammy. Yeah he's not been great for them, I don't think they'll go for him permanently. Undoubtedly a player in there though. Funnily enough, it was a Grabban deal that stopped us from signing Kermogant on deadline day of 2015, and now they partner each other at 3rd placed and play-off finalists Reading FC. What could've been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSSEL85 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Might be pessimistic but I dont think we have a chance in hell of signing Loftus-Cheek. I do hope im wrong however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderMB Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 We've got no chance of getting Loftus-Cheek. We might have survived, but we're fought relegation for two years straight after getting promoted from League 1, so I doubt we'd be the top of his list of Championship teams to play for. Either way, replacing Tammy is going to be extremely difficult. As I've said before, we struggled this season despite having a 20+ goal forward, so imagine how ****** we'd be without him. I'd like to see us go for a young talent again, ideally on a permanent deal. For me, the biggest problem we'll face isn't where our goals are coming from, but how we're getting them. The whole squad needs investment, and not just investing in youth. We need experienced heads to guide our young players, and that's something the club just isn't capable of doing at the moment.

ScottishRed Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 54 minutes ago, hodge said: Hooper's been their #1 choice, Rhodes has found himself on the bench generally. I would imagine that the deal to take Rhodes to Wednesday permanently was based on them going up. Now that they are staying in the Championship I suspect he will be back at Boro'. His future there will depend on who gets the managers job. If the new man wants to move him on he will struggle to get £10m back and to get the player to agree as IF he is on £62k per week I doubt there will be many takers. That said I do rate him - but not at that money or fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
