summerof69 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Haven't seen much of Abraham this year, but a call up to the England squad means fuck all these days. I agree with the general point though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I'm not sure Abraham deserves the call up tbh, hardly set the world alight at Swansea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FustinoSolano Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Joselu is exactly what you get for 5 million these days, someone who should be 3rd or 4th choice striker at most clubs in the league. Seems to have gone downhill since the first couple of games, maybe those missed chances against Stoke and a few in other games have sapped any confidence he had. Offers very little right now, Bournemouth is an ideal opportunity to try Mitrovic or Gayle, surely they would carry more of a goal threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Rafa said he's known about him for a while when he signed him. More to do with the fact he's probably as good as you're going to get for £5m for a centre forward in Europe's top leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to do with the fact he's probably as good as you're going to get for £5m for a centre forward in Europe's top leagues. Exactly, lazily. If you dig further you'll get better. But this was clearly a panic cheap buy. Thought he'd be alright after the first three starts where he made us a better team in all three, but since then everything's gone to shit. He can't even challenge for the ball in the air properly at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I reckon we'd be about 4-5 points better off if we had managed to get Tammy tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I reckon we'd be about 4-5 points better off if we had managed to get Tammy tbh. What's fucking mad about that is we'd be around 4th-5th place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I reckon we'd be about 4-5 points better off if we had managed to get Tammy tbh. What's this based on? his general play does look better but he's hardly scoring loads of goals and it's not like we create loads of chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinoasprilla Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Bertrand Traore went for ten million which is 2 million less than we paid for Murphy. Early days for murphy but aarons looks better to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Swansea barely score and when they do... it's likely Tammy. I wanted us to sign the lad permanently. By all accounts he chose Swansea over us right? That's how he made it seem in a Sky interview. He seems to think there's a chance he could go back to play regularly for Chelsea next season... or at any point. Realistically he should be looking to gain a permanent transfer to an upper midtable club in the PL.. get in the 20 goal bracket a few times before Chelsea can buy him back.

Optimistic Nut Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 He scored 4 goals in 72 in the Premier League when he was supposedly in his prime. He's a good Championship target man but come on man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Though it's bad that he's literally been kicked in the balls as many times as he's scored goals for us. Probably a metaphor for how Rafa felt in the transfer market being left with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although we're primarily a defensive side, when we do decide to go forward we're pretty good at getting into the final third but our finishing or final ball lets us down.
