There's better value for money in Patson Daka or Edouard. Plus both are younger. We'd be paying a premium because he's English. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sankey93 Posted 28 April 2021 Share Posted 28 April 2021 I’d personally go for Jonathan David or Tammy if we can’t get Daka! Can’t see Edouard being any good in this league every time I’ve watched him he looks awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 28 April 2021 Share Posted 28 April 2021 Tammy has done it in the Premier League, Eduardo has not. For me that makes Tammy possibly worth £10 million more with being English too. If it was my money I’d punt on Eduardo, but it’s not. So..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason Chelsea are willing to sell and it's not because they need the money. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would offer us something a little different as well. Only 23 and 40m for an England striker seems to be reasonable. 21 goals in 57 Chelsea appearances is not a bad scoring ratio.

Look, you heard it here first, but if we sign Tammy both of his legs will fall off in a freak trolley accident in Morrison’s. You know it’s true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 28 April 2021 Share Posted 28 April 2021 Our problem is , for years , any quality striker would not come here to play second fiddle to Vardy. When we played , for so long , one up front that made it doubly difficult. Those days appear to be coming to an end so we look more attractive. The Champions League will also be a major draw. The biggest problem now is lack of proven candidates. I struggle to name five youngish strikers in Europe of the right quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardy is of an age where he cannot possibly play every game. A 23 year old on a 4-5 year contract is not going to worry too much about that, especially if we are in the CL.

NasPb Posted 28 April 2021 Share Posted 28 April 2021 I think I've said this before but Abraham is a donkey. Certainly not a winning player and falls over like bambi. Can score some goals but really not all that reliable. He's a midtable striker at best 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 28 April 2021 Share Posted 28 April 2021 If you want the real deal , and not potential , you have to look at those candidates playing in the five top leagues. Almost all of them are over or nearly thirty. I really think this search for a striker is the most important business we have to do for the future of the club at the top level. Barnes and Iheanacho have given us the chance to take a slight risk but we have to be very careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban.spaceman Posted 28 April 2021 Share Posted 28 April 2021 Stay away from Abraham at that price. Chelsea are clearly trying to recoup their losses on Drinkwater. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edingleyfox Posted 28 April 2021 Share Posted 28 April 2021 Abraham for maybe £30 million might be a better bet than Edouard who has not played at as high a level. Agree £40 million for a fringe player even at Chelsea is pushing it a bit. The Chelsea manager clearly doesn't rate him although I can see Brendan getting him to move up a level. Whether Chelsea will sell to ourselves I don't know they might prefer that he goes to Villa etc. I do believe we need another striker as Vardy is struggling to get back to his best and Iheanacho has only just reached his potential. However I don't think Abraham would get straight into the team anyway. We still have an issue at right wing to sort out as well and we will need to be in the Champions League to afford to recruit in both positions IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobyfox Posted 28 April 2021 Share Posted 28 April 2021 I do worry a bit now about buying strikers for lots of money that haven’t quite made it at big clubs. We’ve arrived at a position where a striker who’s not good enough for the greedy six - probably won’t be good enough for us. That situation was different when top ten would be our stretch target. Liverpool must still be laughing about the amounts they’ve got for Solanke and Brewster. Iheanacho may have fallen into a similar category before he became the new messiah. Abraham? For me he falls a bit into the: “offers something different” category and would be a useful player. You’d build your transfer strategy around a player bought for a fee of £40m and not just because they might be useful squad additions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentFox Posted 28 April 2021 Share Posted 28 April 2021 We all have opinions, but at £30m I’d snap your hand off to get Abraham in the squad. We paid that for Perez!!! At £40m ?? Hmmm. It’s a starting point to negotiate down from. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea went hard last summer with the new signings and they want to play them into form. I dont think its a slight on Abraham and quite frankly he'd be doing much better than Werner is currently. This is the same club that wouldnt give Lukaku a chance. Edouard imo is a much better prospect than Abraham but if we couldnt get him and ended up with Tammy, I would be okay with that.

SuperMike Posted 28 April 2021 Share Posted 28 April 2021 Tammy Abraham? At one time we used to regularly sign Chelsea players who were 'surplus to requirements'. Didn't work out too shabby, really..... Best player ever, Kieth Weller, The brilliant Chris Garland, Star midfielder Steve Kember, Club icon, Birchenall (via CPFC) and David Webb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
