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.

Last time Tammy played for Villa was in 2018. Before Unai and his staff. Is it just a coincidence that Villa are after him now or have McGinn and Mings had a word in the bosses ear?

Just a thought.

Last time he played for us was 27th May 2019. The date a colossal wrong was put right.

Sorry yes, the 2018-2019 season. Same season McGinn and Mings joined.

Want it done. Need a midfielder more

Can’t have hurt.  I’m sure we were strongly linked after his good season in Italy.  So maybe Emery has been a fan for a while.

We had more or less agreed a deal when he did his ACL.

Had we?

Had we?

So I hear.
