ohhh_yeah 2964 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Paul Joyce, Northern Football Correspondent June 5 2017 "Newcastle United have won the race to sign Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham as Rafa Benítez looks to bolster his attack for the assault on the Premier League." "The 19-year-old forward enjoyed an exceptional season on loan at Bristol City last season, scoring 26 goals in 48 matches, and will now make a step up in standard." "The deal represents a coup for Newcastle and Benítez, who has good relations with Chelsea from his spell as interim manager at Stamford Bridge when he won the Europa League in 2013. " "Brighton & Hove Albion, also newly promoted from the Championship, had been interested in recruiting Abraham, who will instead move to St James’ Park on loan."

rogerbarton 24 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 What do we reckon? Every Bristol City fan I've spoken to (okay, that's two and some bloke on Twitter) seems to think he'll cut the mustard. I'm hoping we'll bring in someone established as well though.

Rumours that Mitro and Murphy are leaving so I'd imagine at least one more striker Edited June 6, 2017 by Kid Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Mitro fan but we can't take any risks on him at this level. That would leave us with Gayle, Abrahams and Armstrong, so it's likely we'd want two more in.

Armstrong's days must be numbered as well, so if Mitro and Murphy are off we definitely need another striker in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping by the end of the championship season we'd know whether he was any good for certain. We still don't, but he's not likely to be given enough time to find out. I'd say he's better suited to the prem vs the championship though. This is despite being a physical player, the championship refs let anything go, even more so for physical players.

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Probably get more game time there and better able to assess if he can cut it at this level. If he can we can just sign him next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30533 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I think Clement would have left Chelsea long before Abraham was getting a look in at the senior team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1244 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 From what I've seen of him in the U21's there's nothing to suggest he'd be a better option for us next season than anyone we already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30533 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 You're right but Clement left the club when Abraham was 13. I don't think their paths would have crossed too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
