Tammy Abraham - almost done

[Mister E]

Imagine Tammy up front with Watkins played in a free role just behind him, there isn't a defence that wouldn't be scared of that imo

Watkins is all about runs into spaces in and behind the defensive channels, not behind another striker.
I can see him and Tammy playing in the same side but not in that way.

[Steve67]

Abraham, Mings and Onana in the same side, I bet Austin McPhee is licking his lips!

[Woody17]

By the end of Feb (once bedded in), Tammy will be starting up front alone and Watkins will be on the bench

I have a feeling this will be the case too.

[ROBBO]

Why is it taking so long?

[eye digress]

Could be an inspired signing, if we can get a “golden” 12-18 months out of Tammy.

If we don’t, we will at least have some reasonable backup for Ollie without having compromised the next transfer window,

Why is it taking so long?

He had a season out with an ACL so I would imagine we would be double checking at the medical. Maybe we have someone else lined up and they will announce both? Can't register till Monday so no rush and he cannot play on Thursday

[Dick Edwards]

Why is it taking so long?

I expect Villa would rather not announce a new signing on a match day. Tomorrow would be my guess.

Shirt stretching tomorrow and perhaps a pre-match or half-time appearance on Thursday

[Toronto Villa]

Why is it taking so long?

It's not really. We only agreed the deal on Friday. He's meant to be having his medical today. Villa are playing so even if it was all done it won;t be announced. If all goes well I suppose it could later today, but with all the social media/pics/videos and other shit that goes with a signing I imagine tomorrow at some point. He can't play until Brentford anyway.

I have been waiting outside my doctor's surgery in case Tammy arrives there for a medical. I will post as soon as he appears.

[Dave]

Besiktas have just announced that they've permanently signed him from Roma for €13m.

So I guess as that hadn't been done until now, they couldn't sell him to us.

Yep hence why I mentioned the sweetener a few days ago!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

By the end of Feb (once bedded in), Tammy will be starting up front alone and Watkins will be on the bench

Two of his goals have come from the bench this season, he'll most likely should he get in the England squad be coming off the bench, so it wouldn't be the end of the world for him if that were the case though I expect Unai to play horses for courses with the two.
