Greg Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I just went through his 23 goals at Bristol City and i must say that we have to aim higher than this. 95% of the goals were fluke/tap ins/ penalty. Not a single goal were he beat his man or any glimphes of any special skills. We need a mobile forward with pace who can outmuscle the defenders. Someone like Loic Remy when he was here a couple seasons ago. His first goal for Bristol City he had two men on him about 16 yards out, he let the ball run and used his first touch beat the defender, open enough space to shoot and score. Not watched the video any further yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 fml I had a whole post typed up and then thought "fuck it" and deleted it. I should've gone for your simple and eloquent response instead of wasting five minutes of my life. It sums up pretty much what I was going to say anyway.

triggs Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 As I've already said, scoring tap ins is a good sign Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Nothing to go on based on his highlights video, except an insane amount of tap-ins. A bit like Andy Cole in some ways, just always there when the ball drops. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Nothing to go on based on his highlights video, except an insane amount of tap-ins. A bit like Andy Cole in some ways, just always there when the ball drops. Unlike a certain young Serbian Striker on our books. That's why he would be a good fit for Rafa's system and Mitro is not.

Newcastle Fan Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 We need a mobile strong forward, he seems to be perfect for our system, i have a good feeling about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Nah, prefer to give Adam a chance instead, unless there is an agreed price included in the deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlouismag Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 As I've already said, scoring tap ins is a good sign Should change the thread title to "TapIn Abraham," tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Nah, prefer to give Adam a chance instead, unless there is an agreed price included in the deal. Armstrong should be loaned out to see if he can do what Abraham did last season, and if he can then perhaps he can be Gayle's back up the next season. I'm not sure many championship clubs will even want him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 If he's shite he'll be labelled Shola mkII (Diame won't count any more) and be hounded out double quick so there's not too much for worry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 There's a lot of championship standard goals in that video. Just saying, please don't hurt me. Edit - Not his finishing or movement. But the defending/keeping is rancid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Tammy Abraham is a stud. Just hope Chelsea splash big on a striker and have a great season, and ultimately let us buy him outright because they just don't need him. Fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Oh and for those wanting to see more of his all around game. Watch the Terminator, Skills and Goals part 2 video. He is an outrageous talent IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I've only seen the 26 goals video but he looks like a ball magnet in the box and is a cool finisher. 190cm tall but slim and clearly hasn't had a PFM in his ear telling him to bulk up, so he is lithe and fast. This could be very good indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Christ People weren't lying when they said he scored a lot of tap ins Canny movement/reactions on the lad it seems. Didn't realise he was so tall either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Nah, prefer to give Adam a chance instead, unless there is an agreed price included in the deal. You're aware we've just been promoted, right? Adam a chance ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Adam Armstrong will never be good enough to be a premier league striker...we have 3 strikers who aren't good enough on our books we need ones that are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Is Abel Hernandez still at Hull? Started well for them in the Prem before fading , due to injuries I think it was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Same answer for him, really. We're in the PL now. Would've been a good signing if we hadn't just gone up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Chibas Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Nah (unless there's an agreed price to purchase, at the end of the loan period) we're just paying loan fees each year, to survive, for the privilege of being the childcare centre for Chelsea's top youth talent.

shintonsghost Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 26 goals in your first season in professional football, at Championship level too, and for a poor team - that's pretty outstanding really. The lad's cleatly got something; at the very least massive potential. Nah he fits the remit,,a cheap option. You can see this a mile off, cheap buys, loans, a couple of French guys,like ive earlier stated the aim is to survive and Rafa will play and build a team to survive , he looks ok and could be anything, he also could be shite. If Rafa has 70 million to spend it wont go far these days so this is the start of some underwhelming signings on paper,,its Rafas job to make them work.

shintonsghost Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Nah, prefer to give Adam a chance instead, unless there is an agreed price included in the deal. Based on what? The lad isnt very good, headless chicken since i watched him in the reserves, never understood the way people raved at him.needs moving on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Re Abraham, just watched that video. There's nothing spectacular about the goals, but now and then there are glimpses of a decent touch on the ball. He and Gayle could work well together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
