He's scored 10 in the last 10 games (7 in the last 4!)
Do you think he would have been a success for us if he had come here? There are also rumours that Chelsea will recall him in January. Not sure whether that is to play him, or send him or loan him to a higher league
What's he like at holding the ball up? We're quite passive in midfield as our tackling stats suggest; we're happy enough to let the opposition have the ball then get it forward quickly to play on the break. Villa look like a side (when I've seen them lately) that can keep possession and get crosses into the box. If Abraham came here and was given too much of a defensive role, would he be able to be a success?
