Tammy Abraham - done

Whilst I imagine he’s on enough to pay the bills and get some food this week, I love it he went for a lower financial reward to come back here.

It's definitely A Good Thing, but it's more to do with Turkish tax rates than anything else.

Süper Lig footballers pay a flat 20% of their income, so those millions that he's sacrificing are more to do with the 45% he's now giving to HMRC. What we're paying him probably isn't any different to what he was getting there.

Could even be a higher wage and he'd still making a financial sacrifice to join us.

Oh I see !!

Is Tammy an upgrade D Malan I’m not sure.

[Ozzjim]

Different player. Would have liked both, but only 3-4 clubs are allowed more than a couple of decent forwards.

I think he will score quite a few once we understand how to feed him. He looked a million times sharper than Watkins as a striker, but like with Malen, might be more effective in a 2 with Ollie

Is he an upgrade is probably the wrong question. "Is Tammy a better option than Malen to rotate with Ollie in our system?" is the question to consider because that's the problem we were trying to solve.

and for clarity the answer is a very obvious yes.

And Sunday was exactly the situation 2nd half where having both of them on the pitch would've improved our chances.

[paul_e]

Sunday would've been the perfect game to have Malen for in my opinion, which is frustrating and I'm absolutely certain that without PSR restrictions we'd have kept Malen and added Tammy but that just wasn't an option for us.
