Nibs 7,518 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I see that Tammy Abraham has signed his first Pro contract with us. He promptly celebrated by scoring both goals in a 2-0 win over Kiev in the UEFA Youth League. This follows his 41 goals for the youth teams last season. Only just 18 so he is a bit down the pecking order but if he keeps going at this rate he will be putting pressure on Bamford, Solanke & Brown as to who might break into the first team.

IliyaKrostin 1,960 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Yeah, we are starting to create good strikers. I really hope one of them will have a future in Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites
Nibs 7,518 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 It would be nice to think one of them will make it with us. It would help if we stopped signing big names who used to be good but are on the downward spiral when we get them. Link to post Share on other sites
coco 13,306 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Solanke should be knocking on the door next season. Link to post Share on other sites
PloKoon13 12,752 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 This is doubly good news in the light of the common conception (or at least Wenger said it once) that Europe is no longer producing top-level strikers. Being able to consistently create centre forwards with the potential of Bamford, Solanke, and Abraham might prove to be very important if the general standard drops among our domestic and European rivals. How many world-class, out-and-out strikers are there in the world right now? Aguero, Suarez, Lewandowski are the only ones I could say with total confidence. Maybe Benzema, Rooney, Cavani at a [large] stretch. I know plenty would say Ibrahimovic but I have various issues with him as a player. Link to post Share on other sites
barak81 4,283 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Solanke has 2 goals in 4 starts and 1 on 3 sub appearnces. I'd hoped he'd have played more Link to post Share on other sites
PedroMendez 1,231 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Solanke has 2 goals in 4 starts and 1 on 3 sub appearnces. I'd hoped he'd have played more He had some problems with paperwork etc so has only really been available for a month and a half. and has since forced his way as the first team starter and looked pretty good. It's Brown I would worry about who has slipped out of reckoning Edited October 22, 2015 by PedroMendez Link to post Share on other sites
mad_mac 3,280 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Solanke and Tammy are great prospects. I think both of them were going back and forth last season as to who was scoring more, and both got into the 40's Link to post Share on other sites
IliyaKrostin 1,960 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Scored twice against Dynamo today, also from the pictures he was the captain. He's serious machine, Solanke and him can work perfect for us in future. Nibs 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Zola Power 3 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I think Tammy is the best prospect out of all of them. Why not have him as the 3rd striker now? Falcao is a waste of a subs spot IMO. Link to post Share on other sites

MitchellJames 22 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I would love to see one of these players get a run of games. I really don't think we need to spend big on second and/or third choice strikers with guys like Abraham, Solanke and Bamford in the wings. Link to post Share on other sites
TheChelseaBlues 1,983 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Funny how here we are all about how these young players should get in the team yet when when the window is open the majority seem to want to buy. Higuain, Benzema, Lacazette, Hernandez. dkw 1 Link to post Share on other sites

PedroMendez 1,231 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Tammy and Izzy Brown both made appearances for the England U19's 5-1 win against Japan. Abraham bagging a brace and an assist in the 70 minutes he had on the pitch and Brown coming on for the last 30.Here is all the player relevant snippets from the match report. 'First half goals from Josh Onomah, Patrick Roberts and Tammy Abraham ensured Aidy Boothroyd’s side took a 3-1 advantage into the break. And Abraham was able to add another in the second period to cement England’s dominance''After discussions with Roberts (in which Roberts and Abraham played rock paper scissors to decide who took the penalty), Abraham placed the ball on the spot but his effort was saved by Kojima down to his left.' 'Despite this setback, all was forgotten moments later as Abraham slid in Roberts with a neat reverse pass on the edge of the area and the Manchester City youngster expertly placed the ball in the top corner.''But back came England, and making amends for his earlier miss from 12 yards, Abraham drilled home first time with an angled effort following a cross from the right to restore the two-goal advantage.''Izzy Brown, fresh from the bench, almost made an immediate impact as he thundered a strike off the post as England came alive again, and they deservedly grabbed their fourth seconds later.' 'A long ball forward looked to have been dealt with by Reiya Morish*ta as the centre-half simply had to roll it back to his goalkeeper, but his under-hit pass failed to reach its destination as Abraham pounced to finish for his second.'
