But the problem is Giroud wants to leave and the manager clearly doesn’t seem to rate Tammy who has only two years left on his contract so what’s the solution? Can’t expect Havertz and Werner to play every match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haaland is a deal which we have to make keeping our future in mind as no one has the same potential. Haaland is the heir to Drogba. We have make the deal eminent this season.

Not only this channel but there are multiple other sources have revealed the same but the amount is close to 150 mil. Barca are trying to offload their Griezmaan shit to us to reduce the wages but they should loom somewhere else. We are not here to cash on lame rejects.

Pizy 18,909 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I could absolutely see us panic buying Danny Ings on deadline day after fucking about and failing everywhere else. Actually wouldn’t be a bad buy, tbh. He’s the sort of striker who wouldn’t stand in our way of pursuing Haaland or someone else next summer and would remain a great squad option for several years. Could see Ings bagging 15 PL goals in our team for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can't get the top or atleast a suitable target we will look elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see Ings bagging 15 PL goals in our team for sure. If the club were to sell Tammy and Giroud and had exhausted all possibilities of a Haaland deal then I wouldn't be completely against us buying Ings if the price was right. Considering he has one year left on his contract, his injury history and age we shouldn't be paying anything over £25m in my opinion. I personally think he's too important to Southampton to sell for that sort of fee and they'd want more. Especially as just keeping him for the final year of his contract would likely be more valuable to them if his goals kept them in the league again. The important thing is to add quality not just add for the sake of it. If Southampton are asking silly money for him, I'd be loathe to blow a big part of the budget on someone like him. But there does also have to be some consideration in the futures of Tammy and Giroud. I don't mind going into next season with one of them, Werner and Havertz as our main options for the central attacker, but if both were to leave then we would be left incredibly thin (unless Tuchel was planning on someone from loan or the academy stepping in) and therefore we would have to add something to the squad. He'd be a good rotational option that has a proven goal record in the league and is actually a better technical player than he's probably given credit for (I don't think he would look out of place technically in our squad like some striking options would). And importantly he wouldn't get in the way of potentially a big attacking signing next season. I wouldn't even mind him the following season on a freebie as an experienced, rotational attacking option. If he doesn't move this summer, he could be a shrewd move for someone next year.

However Tammy had completely been frozen out. I wouldn't be against Tammy staying but if Tuchel doesn't fancy him then it's pointless. I would say Giroud was starting to fall into the same bracket. He'd make the bench for pretty much all the games but how much game time did he receive in the final weeks. I don't have the info but I'd assume if was very little. I don't want us buying for the sake of it, we've been there and suffered as a consequence (we still are in some cases). However we do also need to make sure that Tuchel has a squad that he trusts. I do worry that might not be the case with Tammy and Giroud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 If Tammy starts regularly at his current level of play we are done for. He's simply nowhere near an elite striker any way you look at his game. He lacks so many attributes that it's easier to start with what he has: some pace and decent finishing. Regarding him as a sub, while I'm not sure he's good enough even for that atm, the first question is whether that role would be of interest to him. If he wants to start games regularly, then he needs to look for a smaller club. That's not going to happen at Chelsea or any other top club... that's why there is no interest from any top club. He could however, drop a tier and grind game time, and then even improve becoming a good striker in the PL. Don't think CL is where he belongs - his game simply lacks range. Personally I think he will leave. Vybz Kartel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who’s going to replace him if we aren’t able to get deals for Haaland or Lukaku? Theres no other real links to CFs which is a huge concern and we hopefully won’t just buy an average player for the sake of it. It would probably be stupid to sell either of Tammy or Giroud without making a purchase first in that area. Giroud is the only one with any sort of concretely links away as well. Tuchel might have to give him another chance though if we don’t get anyone in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot see us making a move for Ings, who is 29yo in 2 weeks and has a shit injury history, BUT his refusal to renew will likely fuck us to a point in unloading Tammy for a decent price, as the same clubs who want Tammy also will now go for Ings (West Ham, Villa, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was at Liverpool and that spell was just completely wrecked by injury. I think he'll look to back himself for a move to a big 6 team and try to write those wrongs. Depends on Southampton's stance with a move this summer but even next summer just hitting 30, I think on a free he would be pretty desirable across the Prem, even for the top clubs because he'd be a more than decent rotational option.
