wolfy 12 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I would imagine Chelsea will want guarantees on game time for Abraham. I wonder if Rafa intends playing a little and large strike force in Gayle and Abraham. It's a head scratcher this one. You would have thought we'd be going in for a top striker on a permanent move rather than an untested striker on loan that is so young, unless Chelsea haven't put any stipulations on how we utilise him. I'm not saying he would be a bad signing mind. He would be a good loan signing if he's used as part of a rotation, as and when required. It'll be interesting to see how all this will pan out when we add more to the ranks as well as trimming the surplus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy 12 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 There's his full name. Tammy is just a nickname and it's a good job because his football shirt would have to be made as big as hot air balloon material to get his full name on it. Kevin Oghenetega Tamaraebi Bakumo Abraham.

strawb 3652 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Aye, it's all a bit footy manager saying Chelsea will demand he plays. He has never played a premier league game afaik, so if he comes to us and plays 10 games then it's still better than zero at Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy 12 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Maybe Chelsea are just biding their time in offloading Abraham and waiting to see if his value can rise a bit higher before allowing him to leave. Like a lot of potentials at money bag clubs like Chelsea, 99% of them tend to get loaned out, with a very good proportion of them actually making huge progress during their loan spells, only for Chelsea to bring them back and plant them on the bench or into the background once again. This is when players get frustrated and demand moves. It's like a cattle market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's quick and can put a decent ball into the box, in today's market that fee is penny's aswell. I would have preferred having him on another season long loan.

They wanted shot of Atsu though, sounds like they just want this kid to develop. It's a bit shit knowing that the better he plays the less likely he'd be to join.

David Kelly 1115 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I don't understand Abraham at all. An unproven striker at top level is not what we need at all for me. If we end up with him and someone else proven who's going to be ahead of him in the pecking order then fair enough but if we'd be bringing him in to play a lot then I don't get it.

Presumably we're either selling some of what we've got already (Mitro) or we're not buying any other forwards. You're basically right though.

You're basically right though. I know Mitro didn't set the world alight last season but he's already played in the top league in three countries as well as international football. For all that Abraham looks a prospect, I'd have more faith in Mitro than him at this stage. And I don't have enough faith in Mitro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19744 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I think mitro will probably be offloaded, mainly because Rafa doesn't seem to fancy him and if couldn't trust him against championship defences, he's unlikely to change his view before next season. Shame as he has looked a genuine prospect in glimpses but then he's been pretty poor at times too so it shouldn't come as a massive surprise if he is moved on.

David Kelly 1115 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I think trust is the key word. For whatever reason (discipline or inability to carry out instructions maybe) Rafa doesn't trust him. Unless he feels that he can coach him to the point that he will have that trust, I don't think he'll stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
