chappy Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) If we go up and if the price is 25m it’s a no-brainer for me. Edited May 13, 2019 by chappy Spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rodders0223 Posted May 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2019 £25m I doubt will seal his signing. If we do go up though, I would spend "stupid money" on him though. Purely because I have seen him on the pitch, I have seen his desire, his workrate and determination. How he backs himself on penalties and how he has the character required to bounce back from missed chances and keep going. This is exactly the type of kid we want to build a team with. He is a top class lad. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Hard to see Chelsea letting him go in the summer with their transfer embargo and with Higuain's and Giroud's (1 year extension option) contracts expiring and Hazard probably moving 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc456 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 One of my mates has messaged me saying there is outrage online against a racist chant for Tammy? Apparently Collymore is sticking the boot in now, anyone know anything about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 The song is stupid and offensive. Im sure Tammy would rather be celebrated for his ability opposed to his race being the forefront of the song. He is aware that he’s black.. so what’s the point of the song? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are having the same effect on Tammy as we are on Mings... Something tells me they like being the top boys here... Same, gave me shudders.

Davkaus Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 It's tone deaf, but not offensive. A lot of fuss about nothing, IMO, but not something I'd be comfortable joining in with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Re: the song, I think it's a tough one because if you hear the original "Whoah Black Betty bamalam", the last two words map so well to "Tammy Abraham". I can see how someone would come up with it without meaning to be offensive. But I don't think highlighting a player's skin colour in a song is really something we should be doing. These are young lads who sometimes get serious racist abuse because of the colour of their skin, and regardless of what you think about political correctness, we should try to support them and avoid adding to that burden. That's not to say this is the most offensive song of all time, but wiser just to avoid it no? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerner's Driver Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 The level of debate on Facebook regarding the song is horrifically simplistic in missing the point and wanting to excuse the behaviour, which itself is indicative of why there is a problem in the first place. Most excusers bang on about there being no intent, which might be a mitigating circumstance, but does not exonerate the perpetrator. In this modern age, white people shouldn't need reminding (or even having it explained to them for the first time), why identifying anyone primarily by their skin colour can cause offence. If you do acknowledge that and you mistakenly, or unwittingly sang the song, then recognise your error, apologise and move on. Do not continue singing the song, even though you now know it's offensive, just because you think it's your human right to express your freedom of speech or you dislike being told what to do. To carry on defiantly, with full knowledge of the offence, proves you are not only stupid but also a racist. No excuses. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading it now, it was contracted that Chelsea could extend for 19/20 season. Wonder whether that bypasses the embargo. IDK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
