pintpotvilla Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Just a thought but there are only 17 games left in the Prem season and he can't play in one of them. They also have Jiminez up front who hasn't done too bad! How many games would he actually get? Is it worth his while?

He could do that at Wolves, score goals whilst on loan there and earn himself a place at Chelsea or a Premier League move next season. However, I would have to argue that he is proving himself at a big club, even though we are in the Championship, this season. He's scoring goals, could potentially break the clubs recent scoring record and be promoted with the team. This would also help him either earn his place at Chelsea or a Premier League move, either with Villa going up or a team coming in over the summer. It would be a massive gamble to leave a club in January where he is currently scoring goals consistently, even with our best player out injured currently.

Farlz Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 We're never going to have a striker score 20 league goals for us again are we? Tammy would've smashed it but now he's likely gone by the end of January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err, substitute 'Wolves' for 'Massive f****n pay rise' and you become far less emotionally invested in the outcome. That's what Tammy and every other footballer does.

Jareth Posted January 4, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2019 Sadly I reckon good old money will decide this - Wolves can pay him what he wants / thinks he deserves - can ask for a nice 5 year contract too if he wants. He'll be absolutely set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 If he decides he wants out so be it. He has done very well for us but I think given the amount of chances we create if Kodjia had of played through the middle all season he'd have gotten a similar return to Tammy. If he goes it will either mean Kodjia getting a chance through the middle or we may bring in someone like Maupay who himself has 15 goals. I don't see us scoring goals becoming a problem though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, Maupay is a suitable replacement and has begged Smith to take him, so this hasn't just arisen, it's been on the cards and we have the matter in hand.

roadoftrinity Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Maybe from Abraham’s point of view, he’s top scorer in the championship, Chelsea are crying out for a striker and still won’t recall him so maybe he feels he has to do it in the Premier League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think through the middle he is capable of scoring plenty in a Smith team. I am pretty sure if Tammy goes though then we will bring someone else in. I am not denying he will be a loss to us but with the amount of chances we create I think any decent striker will thrive and I am not worried that scoring goals will suddenly become an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cjay Posted January 4, 2019 Visiting Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Given Brentford got you to pay £12mil for Hogan few years back and Maupay has more goals and assists surely they'd want £15mil plus for him? Maybe Hogan would take Abrahms role if he goes? Edited January 4, 2019 by Cjay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted January 4, 2019 Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2019 Well, with Solanke going to Bournemouth for £19m where do people think Abraham's valuation should be? For me, I think Chelsea could ask for, and get, in excess of £30m for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be making this up though EDIT - Apparently it was 25m they rejected from spurs Edited January 4, 2019 by Lord Willard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted January 4, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2019 I’d rather he stay, I think he still may. But if he wants to leave then ta-ra Tammy. Don’t want players who don’t want to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 1 hour ago, Razor said: The people saying he's worth 30 mil plus obviously didn't watch much of Swansea last season What do you think he’s worth? 21 year old English lad. Almost scored a goal a game this year and 1 in 2 for Bristol. Yes Swansea return was poor but they were absolutely **** dire. When you’ve got Chelsea turning down £30M bids for Hudson-Odoi who’s played about 3 games Abraham is easily worth that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
