Tammy Abraham

My guess is that Chelsea didn't want one of their stars playing for a "route one" side preferring instead to go for a "proper" footballing team.

I am being a bit flippant with my remark but propaganda from media, pundits and fellow professionals does have a bearing on such things.

I think they probably wanted to be careful after the season wasted at Swansea.
They struggled all season, and barely created any chances, and despite the stats showing he was probably their most dangerous attacker they didn't play him all that much.
Everyone expects us to struggle this season and most to finish bottom, so they probably thought a season at a strong championship side would be better for him in the long run, where he will at least get the chance to do some attacking. I don't think long ball is necessarily a minus where he is concerned, as he has a lot of the attributes to do well in that regard.
He's still young, plenty of time to get the right move to the premier league if he does well at villa
