I remember how many sitters Tammy missed when he was here. Could of had 10+ extra goals that season but was very wasteful.

He scored a lot as well

The Athletic.

Tammy Abraham is an option, among several others, if Donyell Malen wants to leave Aston Villa (see below) and a striker is needed to replace him. However, Villa are happy with Malen and, as things stand, he will stay. There is interest in Abraham from other clubs, too. The 28-year-old is currently on loan at Turkey’s Besiktas from Italian side Roma, and their obligation to buy him has been triggered. A club-to-club deal between Villa and Besiktas would be relatively easy to do, while an agreement between the Premier League side and the player might be trickier, as Abraham is a high earner. However, Villa are not at that stage yet. Villa, as a club, are close to Abraham’s heart — he spent the 2018-19 season there on loan from Chelsea, helping them win promotion back to the Premier League via the play-offs. Manager Unai Emery is also a huge admirer — he has held a long-term interest in Abraham dating back to early in his Villa journey, with talks taking place at that point. There is a mutual affinity between the pair. There is an appetite on the player’s part for the move, but no agitation. Besiktas would be open to a potential deal but there have only been early enquiries at this point. While a couple of other Premier League clubs are keen, they are closer to the bottom end of the table than third-placed Villa. It is likely that Abraham’s situation will develop this month, but there is no guarantee he will move to Villa or anywhere else. David Ornstein
Villa forward Malen has received interest from multiple clubs, including Roma. As previously reported, Villa entered the window intending to sign a young striker and completed a deal for teenager Brian Madjo from French side Metz on Monday. But they will aim to bring in another forward if Malen leaves, with Abraham an option. While Villa are happy with the Netherlands international’s positive start to the season, his future will depend on the offer from suitors and, crucially, what Emery thinks. Malen, for his part, is aware of interest but, like Villa, has not yet chosen whether to stay at the club or pursue alternative options. Jacob Tanswell

I’d prefer a bidding war.

We know AM have £35m quid spare, so we sell them Malen but as part of the deal they forego and clauses they have from the Aghehowa sale to Porto.  Therefore villa can buy Aghehowa for a decent fee.

Job. Is. A. Good in.

We do not tend to create masses of opportunities, this is my concern with Tammy, he’ll need 3 to score 1

Elliot business likely to go down to the last day?

If getting rid him early helps our transfer dealings, it's hard to see why Liverpool (if they are open to him coming back) would want to help us out by doing that.

I trust Unai. I do think he will vastly help in that area. Rogers didnt look great at first but look how great he has. If tammy is who unai wants i fully support him.

Im hoping we may have some more attacking flair with another few additional players

Atleti working on a deal to sign Malen.

Atleti took €40m ftom Spurs for Gallagher and are talking of a reported fee of  €22-25m for Raspordi from either Roma or Atalanta

So shall we start with offers in the region of €45 - cash up front?

Only sense would be if they can get £ from us for early cancellation and then loan him to a league he can play in. If he's not keen though, for Liverpool there is zero motivation. He's not going to play at either club. They would be better off asking us for ££ to remove the obligation so he can at least play and keep his value for them to sell him in the summer, but that may still not be that appealing to them. You have to feel for him in all of it, an entire season wasted.

Lead them on and then sell elsewhere.

As it’s been said he’s there to moss when Ollie can’t play. Like for like.😩

The basic summary of the transfer window is that we have a possible once in a lifetime chance to do something spectacular, but the rules are preventing us from doing so, again. While Man City can spend £60 million on a bench warmer. Depressing.
