Villarocker Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Jonathan Bamba from Lille? They've sold Pepe and Leao so why not go all the way and get rid of the whole forward line? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 With Maupay off to Brighton gathering speed, it will be interesting to see how the club reacts. They will need to tie up a deal for this striker soon otherwise they risk losing out on their plan A and plan B. Im convinced we’ll see a late move for Benrahma as well. I think Brentford will accept 15-18m nearer the end of the window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 It's almost a certainty to me it's Abraham. We wanted to retain our loan signings, and we need another striker. The striker we sign must also be able to hold his own alone up top, and Abraham dings every requirement. Even if Lampard rates him, he got them playing 4-2-3-1 and Giroud must be ahead in the pecking order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Chelsea cant even replace him theres no way he would come. Honestly dont think he would want either, he seems very happy having a go there this season under Lampard Edited August 1, 2019 by trom_borg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Abraham was given the shirt number 9, he isn't leaving. Don't even know if he's good enough at this level. Look at his time at Swansea. Maybe in January Edited August 1, 2019 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying we have a chance in signing him, but it's very likely he's been our target all along. I also find it surprising a team fighting for the title find him good enough, cause personally I am not sure he is even midtable quality, but I guess they might have a transfer embargo going on.

Because Lampard has been giving him games in preseason and Tammy is desperate to make it at Chelsea. Its a now or never season for him there I think with Lampard coming in and their transfer ban etc. Just my thoughts. All points to him saying there at least this season.

If he was our target then we are run by fools. Luckily there is no chance. He made it clear he wants to stay at chelsea and chelsea are making it clear he has a part to play there.

MaVilla Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Bit concerned with how long it's taking to finalise douglas and nakamba, if they don't play vs Leipzig is there any chance their first game for us would be spurs? If hourihane is out first choice DM at spurs I am not going to be a happy bunny.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a think. If theres no chance of signing him, why would he be the focus of our efforts? It's not Abraham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed unlikely Abraham would love from the championship to fight for a starting place at Chelsea. Lampard might have changed that. Either way it's a certainty to me Smith wanted to keep Tuanzebe and Abraham. If you wanna believe it's some mystery striker that's fair enough.

Abraham has been at Chelsea from an early age. He has made it clear in interviews that his ambition was to play for Chelsea in the Premier League. If he is going to realise that dream now is the time, he will never get a better opportunity than this year, he knows that & isn't going to give up his dream now it is in reach. We have signed Wesley as Abraham's replacement, the 'mystery' striker will play a different style in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
