Tammy strongly wants Milan, Roma would prefer to sell him to the Premier League for 30 million. Edited 12 August by ACF 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the most likely option is actually we're not even vaguely interested in Abraham and his agent is throwing around a few names of Premier League clubs because Roma don't want him and he needs a new club. I think he and his entourage are likely still a bit in denial of his level. He's basically the next Danny Welbeck but he's still dining out on one half decent season in Serie A. He probably does back himself to lead the line at Milan but he'll wind up at Everton or something eventually. I'll be genuinely surprised if he comes here. He'd be easier to sign than Fotis Ioannidis or El Bilal Toure who we've had very credible and believable links to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the guy led the line and absolutely dominated us in doing so during that Conference League Semi-Final for Roma - I’d say that left a lasting impression that meant he’s been on our radar ever since. It’s also a tad unfair to suggest he’s had one good season. He’s had two very good seasons in the Championship with Bristol City and Aston Villa at a young age early on in his career - he also did well during the Frank Lampard season for Chelsea. Your comparison to Danny Welbeck is both cruel and weakened by basic statistical comparison too - Danny has yet to achieve a double digits goalscoring season to date and at 33 is two shy of reaching 100 career goals (449 appearances). Abraham on the other hand has 4 double digit seasons; including one in the Premier League and one in Seria A; and has already surpassed 100 goals (127 in 328 appearances) at the age of 26. That said - I would agree that I don’t think we stand a realistic chance of signing him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
