He's got a better goal record than DCL for example, albeit half of that in the Championship I just hope for him he gets regular football, we know he's a great finisher perhaps Chelsea just isn't the place for him It'll be interesting how this works - He will have to come back home after 3 months due to the post-Brexit 90 day rule......

steveybadger Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 2 hours ago, MarcusX said: I don't understand this, have there been lots of players who haver refused to go abroad or do foreign teams just not rate our players as highly as we do? That plus the "English Tax" that inflates the value probably better looking elsewhere I suspect up until the last 20 years or so countries like Italy (where the big cash was) saw our players as ‘strong / physical’ but technically not very good. I was watching a repeat of the ‘Gazzeta Football Italia’ story last night and they said much the same. Now I’m not saying there wasn’t the odd good player e.g. Gaza, just that they weren’t the norm. I’d also throw in the general ‘inability’ / desire in this country to try and learn a different language, as perhaps an additional barrier? Since, say, 2000 the money even journeymen can earn here is probably more than almost anywhere else, even if this coincided with production of more desirable technical players. Plus as you say transfer fees from English clubs made those players too expensive. However it has probably got to the point now with competition for places at top clubs in particular, that players like Tammy / Sancho are looking abroad for game time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember LJ going to visit his family to encourage the proposed spell at BS3. Looking back now if LJ was gone earlier then we may have had potential in some more playing years at BS3 by one of the best at the moment in football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Tammy. I've rarely been more jealous of a bloke. Firstly he gets to be star striker for the greatest club on the planet at the tender age of 19, bags 26 goals in the season and leaves a legend who will always be welcomed back. Ok then he has a couple of years at some backwater clubs that we can gloss over. But then he returns to Chelsea, scores freely in his first few weeks of prem life, gets a couple of England caps and then sits on the bench whilst still collecting winners medals for some major trophies. Now...now he gets to go and live and work in the greatest city the world has ever known. A beacon of western civilisation for millennia, steeped in history and filled with delicious coffee, glorious piazzas and beautiful women. Tammy my boy you are truly blessed. Carry on working hard and remember fortis fortuna adiuvat. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not even a decision is there? Go immediately. Buy a flat on the Piazza Navona, get a Vespa, get really into espresso and that square cut pizza they sell by weight. Training runs around the Circus Maximus. Gelato. Get aways out to Tivoli, Lago di Bracciano and the Apennines. Just go Tammy. Get out of London. Have an adventure in the eternal city.

Red Army 75 Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Use to love watching a bit of football Italia on a Sunday in the 90s with James Richardson. Players like Gazza and David Platt playing for Lazio and Sampdoria. After watching TA debut last night it has reignited my interest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilC Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Really please to see Tammy doing well and get a standing ovation after his 2 assists. Yes there's that small connection (loan) to us, but I personally think he is a very talented player and I'd like to see him succeed and go on to some very good things. Possibly not quite at his top technical ability just yet, but I'm confident that will come with time. I just hope (like a few of the other young English talent out there at the moment) he doesn't blow it on cars, girls, and trips to Dubai and stays focused on his career.

Phileas Fogg Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Good for him. He comes across as a very nice and well grounded person. Personally I'm not sure he's quite England first team quality - although when Kane starts to lose a step there will be a void to fill for the centre forward position until Mason Greenwood or Liam Delap are old enough.

PHILINFRANCE Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 I wish him well and all the best of luck, especially with his driving: I suspect he might find driving in Rome a bit different to Failand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
