Can see him make a decent pairing with Llorente
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footba...elsea-10656999
Swansea made some daft decisions last season, but it looks like they are taking on board the criticisms from fans.
A tidy acquisition by all accounts but I can see them struggling to keep hold of Sigurdsson and the boy from Barnsley whose name escapes me.
The problem with young loanees though is that clubs take a massive gamble on them, particularly if you're asking them to play in a higher league. It takes them nearly an entire season to find their niche and then they're handed back to the parent club all raring to go.
With this boy in particular, I think I read somewhere that there was a loan fee of £1 Million! A tad excessive for that. For a million, I'd at least expect to keep his right foot (w/toes) when he returns to Chelsea.
Alfie Mawson please don't call me a jack for knowing that.Quote:

Just what I was thinking.Quote:

decent punt, hard to say anything negative as we would be loving it if we signed him.
Absolutely, as he's proven himself at this level but I do believe the Jacks are taking a gamble.Quote:

Friend of mine was a sports journalist and is a current wurzel season ticket holder. He's not convinced that Abraham is good enough to play at premier level - hope he's right.
Good signing that, that kid is going places.
Well done to the jacks could be a decent signing.Quote:

Sure he looks like he's got talent but I think he's too easily bullied out of games and makes poor decisions.
Too much of a step up in my opinion.
Will A Abraham take his board with him?
:donkey:
I am with you on thatQuote:

Probably better he plays for whoever in the Premier league rather than for one of our rivals in the Championship.
Hopefully it's to replace Llorente, can't really see that working as a pairing.Quote:

I think he will be a great signing for the Jacks with their style of play
Wynette???? it will only end in D.I.V.O.R.C.EQuote:

This sounds quite feasible and shrewd from both parties.Quote:

I get the comments from Bob and NYC but I reckon they're borne more out of hope :thumbup:
Borne out of the evidence available more like.Quote:
