MouSpirit 6 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I know we are in a good position for now. But at one point we did have De Bruyne and Salah. Of course, Tammy is not really at that level, but we do have a history of losing decent players who turn out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can never tell how a player will develop elsewhere, but what I do know is he would never gotten a proper chance here, its a good move for himself as an individual.

He'd never have been the number one striker at the club in his current level and he wasn't happy being a backup option, so for everyone's sake it was a good move. If he develops enough at Roma the club can buy him back for 'just' a €35-40M net loss due to the clause, but would also be getting a much better player in return than the Tammy who left so if that happens then maybe it's not too bad a price to pay for another club investing a lot of time and resources into his development. I'm sure Tammy himself would jump at the chance to come back if the club wants him to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from what I saw - he's not good enough for where we want to be. So if he majorly improves in Roma, and becomes a Serie A star I'll eat my words. And those players you mentioned, that was different. We never gave Lukaku, de Bruyne or Salah a real chance to develop. We gave Abraham two full seasons. Okay. I can agree with that. Yeah we had him for two years already. But he is still young, so I thought he has still enough potential to show, and might just explode. The buy-back clause seems to indicate this too.

coolhead23 1,147 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Regret , definitely no ... because we can always buy the player back. We have a history with that as well. DH1988 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Are we going to have this bs every time we sell a player? Did they do the same to United when they sold say Butt or Phil Neville? For 1 Salah there's 20 Van Aanholts. YorkshireBlue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew 3 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 He's doing well in Rome for now. I'm always watching AS Roma's games and I'm happy for him. Hope they could win the Conference League as well, he deserves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Just like Lukaku before him, hes a good goal getter and I'm glad he's doing well for himself but I don't particularly miss him and I can't ever see him leading the line at a club regularly challenging for the big two. I really hope we resist the urge to buy back this time, would be totally unnecessary. If we're going to insist on bringing back academy players Livramento (if he recovers well from his injury) and Olise are the one's we should be looking at.

DDA 9,945 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 He was never good enough for us but fair play to him for producing the goods at Roma. Its nice to see him do well there. I hope he can carry form into the next season and beyond. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
