Reported Lampard is reluctant to offer Tammy a new contract.
Should we push the boat out for him?

I think we should try Aka, he fits well with us.
He also seemed to enjoy his time with us, and did most things right, so yes why not, not sure what the asking price is though.

Apparently Chelsea want between £40 to £50 million according to a friend of mine who is a Chelsea fan they are using Edouard’s asking price as the yardstick against which to set his asking price, and you can understand it both young strikers one has done it in the premiership one hasn’t. I do like Abraham but not at £40 million I would rather Ihenacho or Origi I think both would be cheaper in Ihenacho’s case significantly cheaper I would imagine.
Interesting to see Craig Shakespeare has joined the coaching staff paving the way for Terry to move onto pastures new?

I thought Tammy demanded a pay rise to match Callum Hudson Odoi on £130k per week. Lampard and the board aren't prepared to pay that so Tammy will have to settle for his current 50k a week or find a club prepared to buy out the last 2 years of his contract and pay him what he wants.

Guys, don't underestimate Edouard. He is a star.

Yeah he does look good bb, premiership is a tad different but I am sure he could adapt.
He has great mobility and awareness, quick feet and scores goals ðŸ‘
Crazy all of this, you find yourself saying yes to every player 😂.

I know he looks a good player and he may well turn out to be the next Harry Kane but as we don’t have a recognised goal scorer can we afford to risk £40 million on him? iIts one thing scoring 40 goals in the Scottish premiership to getting 20 in the premier. If he doesn’t hit the ground running where are our goals coming from we tried a forward from outside the premiership last season and that didn’t work.

You are right John, and I do get it, but that is being said about everyone we are being linked with mate.
Not premiership proven, too expensive, no pace, plus all the other possibilities.
There is no saying any player we get will be the right one, we are damned if we do, and damned if we don`t.
I am just glad its not me making the decision.

Dave you are right, as with this site it’s all about opinions but for me personally I would rather have someone who has proved they can score at the premiership level hence my preference for someone like Wilson, Ihenacho, Origi, and even Tammy to be honest the only thing about Tammy is £40 -50 million is a lot of our budget for one player.

Nothing guaranteed in this game is there John, I know who I would like, but I think I am going to wait and see who we get.
It will be bit more like Christmas, nothing worse than asking for football boots, and getting slippers.
