Anyone who doesn't rate Okazaki doesn't rate life

when you're playing at a higher level you're not going to get chances to score screamers every week

True but top CFs do score screamers when the opportunity arises (Diego's 25 yarder v Southampton, Drogba v Everton, Shevchenko v Spurs etc). Kane did at youth and now senior level, same with Diego, Henry, Vardy, Ibra etc. If Tammy starts banging them in from 25 yards I'll start to believe he'll make it here (his effort v Liverpool away last season gives me reason to be optimistic)

Mmm-kay

Nothing wrong with goal poaching. Even tonight there were a few occasions where Alonso/Moses flashed great balls across the 6 yard box with nobody in sight; it's happened a few times in other games like vs Palace.

He's an option and I'd love it if Conte took a look at him in pre-season. Not getting my hopes up given our track record with integrating youth however.

You learn something every day... Apparently Tammy's real name is:

Kevin Oghenetega Tamaraebi Bakumo-Abraham

I'd like to see them put that on a shirt.

Very classy posts from the Bristol City supporters. Have massive respect for them after reading that thread.

Without Okazaki, Kanté would merely be considered as the new Mile Jedinak and no one would have heard of either of them...

So would Uncle Ken have done in the £1 a letter days. :)

Fine with me as long as he plays. He'll get a taste of what its like playing under a d!ckhead and will appreciate Conte more and get some good tactical instruction as well

isn't newcastle stocked up on strikers? not sure this is a good move for him, i thought he was bound for brighton

God forbid he'll be wasted on the bench like bamford

 

Gayle and Mitrovic to compete with, not sure if this is a good move.

What formation has the FSW been playing at Newcastle?

Is he playing with one striker or two? 

Be a strange move to send him to a club with established forwards already, though the Premier League experience would be good for him look what happened with Bamford every time he joined a side in the top division. 

I really hope he gets a chance to play, there is no point wasting him on the bench because this season is crucial for him. He might end up like Bamford and be a waste

Newcastle are also linked with giroud. I'd hold off sending Tammy anywhere as long as we can. He needs to be at least 2nd fiddle wherever he goes, or he may aswell stay here, training with better players, and coaches. 

I wonder if we can put any performance incentives in the loan contracts, like waiving of the loan fee should our player play x amount of minutes. 

important that Tammy keeps momentum in his development. 

The guy is living in the goal area, he needs to play! All he need is playing time, if Newcastle is looking for him, then they must play him. 

There is no need to send him somewhere where he is going to sit on the bench, he can do that in our team and train with the best players and coach. Loaning him means he is going to play game by game, of course if he deserves it by his trainings.

Tammy Abraham could play week in week out at Huddersfield Town in the Premier League- Izzy and Kasey did very well there

Far better than sitting on the bench for that bumbling waiter up in Newcastle

Huddersfield are crying out for a goal machine like Tammy, Newcastle would just chop and change they have several other options

Even if Abraham does score a lot for Newcastle, he imo will generally be rotated. That is what Benitez is about and Gayle is their no.1 striker and defo can't see him playing two out and out no.9 together in the PL. He would be under the guidance of an excellent coach and better team than likes of Brighton or Huddersfield but not as much playing time.

Choice between Newcastle and Brighton. The only thing that would give me pause about Brighton is how likely they are to go straight back down. He would immediately be first choice there though. 

 

I also think Newcastle is not the best option for him. Right now he need to play regularly. Brighton is a good option.

 

 

Say's he is still undecided where he's going next season, but he's thinking big.

I would love him to be included in our squad next season, we need to bulk up the squad for the campaigns ahead of us.

Just got a feeling he could end up with us this season.

 

 

 

ABRAHAM 'UNSURE'

Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham says he is undecided on his future, according to the Daily Mail.

The youngster is weighing up loan offers from Newcastle and Brighton as he looks to continue his development.

Abraham said: “I’m not sure what I’m doing next season, if I’m coming back, going elsewhere on loan or staying at Chelsea.

“I haven’t decided yet. You have to stay open and things may come at different times but I have to dream big and that’s what I’m going to be doing.”

not Tammy's biggest fan but i must admit he played well for the U21's the other night. Against a big thuggish CB he kept his calm and showed he could actually offer something outside of the box and in the build up play, something he very rarely did in the Championship:

 

going to swansea on loan it seems
