Tammy Abraham - almost done

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We've got a striker called Kevin
He's sure to go to heaven
Always spotless, clean and neat
He's bloody brilliant with his feet.

Who knew!

Didnt we want a Kevin

BBC News - Aston Villa: Besiktas pay £11.2m for Abraham - to sell him to Villa - BBC Sport

Looks like this is the precursor to Tammy signing for us - tomorrow? Or Wednesday?

He can't play against RB Salzburg.

Cue complaints about Beskitas pulling our pants down.

Answer:

Roma valued him at £11.8m and were happy to do a deal at that price. Beskitas saw value in the deal and signed on that basis.

Tammy's done well for them and is now worth more. Chapeau to Beskitas and Tammy.

We think £18m is a fair price for the player he's become. End of argument.

Had Beskitas paid cash on the nail last summer there wouldn't even be a discussion about the £11.8m fee.
