If he had come flying off his line like I would have expected on Saturday, Chester wouldn't have needed to make the challenge for the penalty. My opinion that it was good news was based on him not taking up a loan spot. I didn’t see the game on Saturday, but I’m hopeful that he can be a decent goalie for us, once he’s settled in.

You want your goalkeeper going into no mans land in the 94th minute while holding a lead. Chester ballsed up and had nothing on Nyland who had kept us in the lead at that point 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Bruce has been "advised" of another unknown loan to buy. We need to get a move on though. Worst thing is that we end up with nobody. Link to post Share on other sites
VillaChris 7,278 Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Looks like our main target was Abraham and he wants to stay at Chelsea although can't see him playing much. Who knows if there's a plan B but Hogan and Davis will be fit soon so in terms of numbers we're in better shape than last season if not a huge amount of goals if Kodjia gets injured again. Can't El Ghazi play central striker aswell? Link to post Share on other sites
jacketspuds 4,148 Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 If Kodjia gets injured I think that's it for our season. Grabban really helped us a lot last season with his goals but I just don't think the other strikers in the squad will score enough for us. Link to post Share on other sites

villan-scott 4,599 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 I'm hoping he’s talking about Tammy Abraham again... fingers crossed for today. Link to post Share on other sites
GENTLEMAN 3,240 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Yeah, Tammy and a CB, and I’m happy enough with the squad to push for top 6. I think without those additions it will be a challenge, not impossible, but certainly difficult, especially considering the defence and the fragility of selection in CF Link to post Share on other sites
imavillan 2,121 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 lets hope this happens....it is The Sun though !!! https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/7141220/chelsea-tammy-abraham-aston-villa-loan-steve-bruce/ TAMMY ABRAHAM is heading to Aston Villa on loan ahead of today's 5pm deadline. The Chelsea striker, 20, will bolster Steve Bruce's attacking options in the Championship. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
StewieGriffin 714 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Is Abraham good at reaching aimless balls hoofed into channels? If not I don't see the point - he'll just be a non-injured version of Hogan Link to post Share on other sites

dukes 360 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Please just re-sign Terry already, he will motivate and organise in a way that young players just can’t. im all for having a young vibrant team, but you do also need some older heads in there, and I think Terry did more last season to change our attitude on and off the pitch than Steve Bruce has in two years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dukes 360 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 If Celtic were to lose Dembele today, is there any chance of them taking McCormack ? I know He has a connection with Rangers, but please let it be. Link to post Share on other sites
