Tammy Abraham - almost done

[PeterWithesShin]

Did any of you help build Stonehenge?

[Toronto Villa]

He’s a different player now, older and hopefully wiser but here’s hoping he will still find the net as often second time around.

For all my doubts, I'm looking forward to see what Emery can do with him. Watkins needs a genuine challenger.

[VinnieChase84]

Welcome home bigman. Feel he can form a lovely partnership with Rodgers and also Sancho! He will be great for the dressing room too

Will be nice have a traditional CF option for what feels like an age

Taken a pay cut to join us, was only interested in coming back to Villa - all the right minerals if you ask me

Debut goal v Brentford - bank on it

[KingstandingVilla]

Can he play against Red Bull on Thursday?

[Dante Lavelli]

I’m okay with the signing but not exactly excited.  It feels like a holding position.

My worry is we’ll chuck a war chest at another striker in the summer and be left with both Tammy and Ollie stagnating as reserves. I suppose the glass half full alternative, is Tammy and Ollie share the load and we dont need to find £50m for a striker for a few years.

🚨 Aston Villa will receive more for Donyell Malen than spent on Tammy Abraham — he also accepted a significant financial sacrifice to join.
@David_Ornstein

Fair play to him.

I know they're still filthy rich but it's nice to know someone has come to us because they want us and not because of money.

Did any of you help build Stonehenge?

I knew the foreman.

[PaulWinch again]

Can he play against Red Bull on Thursday?

I think he can only play after this round (assuming we register him).

[Somniloquism]

Can he play against Red Bull on Thursday?

No, neither can Bailey or anyone else not named in the squad we named for UEFA competition in Sept. However for the R16 in March he can play assuming we don't buy 10 other players between now and Jan 31st, three of which we decide to add in his stead.

If we could have signed this lad when we got promoted we would not have been biting our collective fingernails at the end of that season.
Probably wouldn’t have signed Ollie either.
Welcome back Tammy and good luck.

This is an important point, and it's worth remembering he worked his nuts off in a Villa shirt last time as a kid with no real attachment to us, and not just when everything turned up rosy in the run in, he was putting it in when we were struggling, never hiding and putting others to shame

Nice reminder, the penalty box was his friend. Also championship defending is scandalous but enough of that. Going to get some cheer when he scores his first at Villa Park. Delighted for him.

[Dick Edwards]

And didn't he have a January option of going to Wolves but turned them down to stay with us?

[eye digress]

Shrewd deal in my view.
