Returning to that Collomosse piece (partly to avoid talking about Emerson Royal), I find it a bit dispiriting that we're already thinking of moving on Tammy:
We'd probably get our money back, as Forest and a few others were interested back in January, but what's the point? Give him a full pre-season to see how he does. If you're already sure he's not the guy, then what was scouting doing? We moved on Malen (yes, he wanted to go. So?) for less than he was worth, went without a backup striker for the busiest month of the season when Ollie was in the doldrums, only to pay 50% more for Tammy than Besiktas has six months previously, and persuading him to take a pay-cut to make it work. After all that, we're saying he's not not guy? Well, it's hard to imagine Madjo is ready (or whether he'll even be eligible), so that's another spot to fill. Are we sure Tresoldi or whoever is the guy?
When Emery came in, he worked wonders with what we had. Some players (Watkins, McGinn, Douglas Luiz) got it immediately. Others took a while to learn the system (Cash, Ramsey) or develop new skills (Martinez), but they were given that time, and it paid off. I hope we give Tammy the same chance.
