Tammy Abraham - almost done

[Sexual Ealing]

My preference over Mateta this.

I'm the opposite, so I guess all is right with the world!

[KevinGage]

Looks like it’s happening.

Separately I see Ozscan’s signing with us as one of the most irritating PSR style transfers in recent years.

All those deals are pony.

You look forward to seeing a promising young player take his first baby steps with the Villa (Ned, Illing Junior, the Baron in Portugal, and this lad) and they’re all farmed out in no time.

With seemingly no intention of them ever being first team candidates for us.

My preference over Mateta this.

Agreed. I'm also pleased for PW, vindication at last.

[villadelph]

Welcome back Tammy!

[cdbearsfan]

Happy enough with Tammy. Has some weaknesses compared to Malen, can't really play wide. But some strengths too, better playing lone forward and better attacking/defending set pieces.

[PeterWithesShin]

Try not to be shit.

[aj2k77]

I'm not sure on him but he's definitely a better fit for us that Mateta.

I believe he was trying to jinx it, though.

[aj2k77]

Can do a job protecting Martinez on corners too.

🚨🟣🔵 Tammy Abraham to Aston Villa, here we go! Verbal agreement in principle with Besiktas after personal terms done days ago.

€21m plus add-ons, Yasin Özcan will be also included as part of the agreement.

#AVFC in Turkey now with their directors to formally seal the deal.

Thank you for quoting rather than linking.

[Smirker]

Will finish the season with more goals for us than The Sacred Cow I reckon

Agreed. I really liked the idea of a manboy Turkish international and a young Argentinian hitman in our team; crafted by Emery and the management team.

I'm optimistic about Tammy.  I'm not sure why, I've just got a good feeling about it all.

Would you rather us play players who clearly aren't good enough? 

We're a team that certainly has Champions League aspirations and arguably isn't massively off the pace for winning the league aspirations.  Maybe not this season, maybe not next, but that's the direction we're heading in.  By it's very nature we're trying to sign the top 1% of the top 1% of players - it's going to be difficult to sign players at that level even if we had unlimited funds (hence why IMO we've got a significant proportion of the squad left over from the Dean Smith era ... there simply aren't that many players who are better.

[brontebilly]

Delighted to have him back. In the squad for Newcastle let's hope.

[Clampy]

He's a goalscorer. He would have helped himself to a couple last night I reckon. Pleased with this one.
