Tammy Abraham

[S'hampton Seagull]

Did we end up with Norwood instead?

I'm not sure you can look at it that way, they aren't really the same type of player.

 

[jamie the seagull]

A chance to play in front of 50,000 + every other week.
Gayle has history of injury's and the other strikers did not show in the championship, so he knows he could well be straight in.
We will play 1.
Pepe Reina signing from Napoli other the weekend.
Their getting good deals done...
In the hard world of football I know where I would head too...

Missing out on a #1 identified target must set back the recruiting team a bit.

If you have to go from getting in a player who only costs wages to having to find a target that might now cost millions to be deducted from a transfer budget it must take a toll somewhere within the process of building a team.

 

[Flying Farrier]

We need to aim much higher than this anyway if we have any hope of surviving in the PL.....i can't see it happening personally.

No, Akpom

Naylor a week ago said promising signs of Abraham joining us, i think he needs to stop with his ITK now.

Looks what happened when he said Pritchard was close to signing

 

[Trigger]

Nailed on he was going to Newcastle as soon as Naylor said we are favourites, the guy knows SOD ALL.

And everyone was assuming he'd co e here because Brighton is a really nice place and only an hour from London. If he does go to Newcastle, hopefully it will stop everyone reeling out that assumption for every potential signing this summer.

After 400+ posts, on an unsubstantiated rumour, the player (with only Championship experience) is predictably joining a bigger club:

Huge 52,000 gates, massive budget this summer to give TA better team mates, larger wages and a football mad area.

Am i missing something ?... has he signed for Newcastle ?

Nope, if he does he does. Nobody from the club has said his the number 1 target have they?, would have been good yes but I trust CH & TB to get the man they want, get ready to move on and close thread.

 

[greyseagull]

Has Calleri signed yet?

Hold the nerve.

So is that a total of five years parachute payments?



So is that 55% and 45% as in [MENTION=33329]Jolly Red Giant[/MENTION] above?

I believe so.

Ok so Newcastle are prepared to pay the wages in full and probably a a few million loan fee, so he goes there. Fair enough, move on. There will be plenty of other possible targets.

The concern is, pretty much any PL forward who will do a job, would require similar kinds of money. Hughton will need a few signings around that kind of price point this summer. If the club don't back him with that for Abraham, then who?

Who says the club didn't back him.? We have no idea if and/or why he picked Newcastle.

We didn't send him a cake - surely that's the reason.

I'm pretty sure that both us and Newcastle were given permission to talk to him. That means we have both agreed to their terms and the decision is the players

 

[whitelion]

I believe so.

To which question?
