We might be looking for a better player? Or one more suited to our needs? Or looking for a player with view to a permanent transfer at a fair price?

Kasey Palmer? Izzy Brown? Nathan Aké (22)? There is nothing about Tammy Abraham that has made me say Wow! or very good. I saw something in Lookman, Oliver Burke and even Sam Baldock on too infrequent occasions.

Running into the right positions from Tammy Abraham will very much depend on the service he gets.

Doesn't matter how many of your posts I see I still haven't got a chuffing clue what you are on about.

Harry Kane looked ordinary before but turned into something special.... Bamford looked great on loan in the Championship at Boro now look at him.

You just cant predict it.

Fair enough. The ability ot predict is between success and failure though.

My instinct is to say meh! Overhype.

Oliver Burke yeah! Demerai Gray (too late now) yeah! Lookman (too late now) ??? Hogan ?? Abraham ? ( ? brainer !)

Right now, left back x 2, keeper x2 are more important.

PS. English Cup Final was played at a much higher pace than than the Scottish. Chelsea fans were generous in complimenting Arsenal.

Abraham has an incredible knack for being in the right place at the right time, and many of his goals are loose balls despatched from within 10 yards. He'd be an exciting signing.

Read the stats blog on another thread. The key to staying in Prem is scoring enough goals (40+), more important than not conceding. In any case, you can't prioritise transfers; each has its own dynamic. Yes we need these positions filled (though arguably one LB will be OK as LR can fill in) but you can't fill those to exclusion of others.

Play him alongside Izzy Brown, light blue touch paper, stand back, and watch them go!!

think the consensus is that there is max of one loanee from a single club, so ce n'est pas possible, regrettably.
Not just the concensus, it is in the rules published in the premier league handbook which can be downloaded from the premier league site.

And still we get vast swathes of posts from NSCers regarding Tomori + Abraham + Brown + rest of Chelsea's youth team.

I wonder if the penny will EVER drop sometimes.

And one new striker will not be enough. Hughton knows only too well the importance of having a proven goal scorer and the necessity of scoring enough goals - Norwich struggled with this the entire time he was there. Yes you have to avoid conceding too many but you have to be able to win 1-0 instead of drawing 0-0 and you have to be able to draw 1-1 instead of losing 0-1 if you want to have a chance of staying up.

The reason Murray ended up back at Brighton is that he wasn't good enough to score consistently in the PL. Sunderland went down despite Dafoe and even at 35 he will get a bumper contract because he is a proven goalscorer - but Middlesborough and Hull couldn't score and Swansea had Llorente and Palace had Benteke to get enough to keep them up.

Along with someone like TA, Hughton needs to find a goalscorer from the continent and hope he produces in England - and he will have to pay BIG money to get him because anyone who is capable of scoring a few goals will cost an arm and a leg.

Have to agree with that (re expensive striker). This is the signing that absolutely must happen...

Answer = loan Abraham, and buy Tomori...
