Mazzy Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Just got to hope there was an agreement in place with Villa regarding a signing fee. Don't want them asking for stupid money all of a sudden just because of how well he's done and they know we want him. 15m would be absolutely fine and a bargain in this age for a 26yr old English player.

They can ask for silly money, we can pass. Will they get the same money off someone else ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Think we’re operating in a very difficult market when it comes to key positions like a striker. We’re not at a profile where we can attract top talent I don’t think. The likes of Nunez, Nkunku will have plentiful options that can all offer European football and clear aims of winning trophies. Not to mention there’s not really many top-class strikers out there to buy. I think the likes of Scamacca, Jonathan David, Giovanni Simeone, Moussa Dembele, Evanilson, we could operate in that bracket perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love Tammy, but he will come with the 'talented young English player' tax, so we'd likely have to pay £50m. But I would honestly take Tammy over most other options. He was good when he left for Roma, and has both improved technically, and bulked up significantly over there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) Would love Jesus. Only concern is if Spotrac is accurate he's been on £90k for the past four years? Have to expect he's going to want a hefty salary bump. The sort of player we should at least be putting the feelers out for though. EDIT: Fuck knows why I said 'only concern' as if money is the only reason we wouldn't be top of his list. Edited May 20, 2022 by wormy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Chelsea have a buy back clause with Tammy of £68m that can be activated at the end of next season. So Roma won't be selling for anything less than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we had a chance there (and I dont think we do) then you're brining him in as your #1 striker for the next however many years and you'd expect to pay him comfortably more than £100k/week.

You got in there with the 'if' before I added an edit. Agreed on him being #1 if we managed to get him but just imagine persuading him would involve £150k+, let alone £100k+ and can understand the club not wanting to let wages start skyrocketing too fast.

Ikon Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Abraham is a good finisher but he doesn’t impress me in general play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) Abraham is very good all round, no doubt about it. Seems to have packed on some more size in Italy which will make his general hold up play better again, he can play as a complete striker for sure. Good at playing off the shoulder although tends to get caught offside a fair bit (should get better with time) and obviously is a ready built target man.. the lad literally has it all for me.

Sign all the Brazilians! An impressive number of elite players have contracts expiring in 2023. There's pretty much a title winning team here on the first page, all potentially available for free next year. https://www.transfermarkt.com/transfers/endendevertraege/statistik?plus=0&jahr=2023&ausrichtung=alle&spielerposition_id=alle&altersklasse=alle&land_id=0&yt0=Show Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Abraham isn’t a clinical goalscorer, which is rare these days anyways, those that are tend to be elite or purely penalty box players. He’s an elite level all-rounder of a centre-forward for me though or has that potential. He can play wide either side in a front 3 or central or central on his own. He presses constantly, has pace, can finish with either foot, is decent in the air, is of a good age and has a great character, I’d break the bank for him me.

Shearergol Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Tammy for the man up top to challenge Wilson for a place, Jesus for the right hand side forward. Simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
