Overall I'm not too bothered about the signing, not convinced he has what it takes YET at this level, if we are in a similar position to last year, we'll need players who can deliver straight away.

Agree with your last paragraph and the comment on walesonline which said a lot if his goals were flukes or tap ins which won't happen at PL level.
Not that impressed from the clips but that's probably not fair on him.

The ex-Geordie scouser doesn't come over as the sharpest tool in the box either on radio or print. Just a propagandist/apologist for Liverpool and Newcastle.

This guy is just one of the many Newcastle fans who still believe they are a big club, like bloody Leeds for godsake, if i'm allowed to even mention that club on here...
Tammy will be signing for us, and some up north just refuse to accept they've been gazumped by a better PL team, and that's us.

Newcastle fans actually think they have a better pedigree striker than we've got down here as well. Some even trying to argue that Gayle is better than Llorente.

Abraham starts for Ingerland U21.
...and scores. Just seen it on the box about 20 mins ago. Typical poacher's goal from him. They were beating the Germans 2 1 at the time I think. Can't help feeling we are going to have to get the ball into the box far more often than we have been doing to get the best out of him. If he signs of course....

Just based on last seasons goals, he looks like the type of player you want in and around the box, rather than drifting wide and into midfield like Ayew.
If he is going to play most games, I would guess that means either Llorente is off, or we are going to see a new formation, maybe 352? I can't see us going with 2 in central midfield.
I've only watched this one game of Abraham's (and it melts down halfway through), but there are a few instances of him in wide areas and he looks surprisingly nimble, with a good touch and turn of pace:
10:45 - calmly shows some skills in space and provides cutback for midfielder
52:25 - quick turn away from marker into space on the right wing, accelerates and puts in quality cross, teammate's shot hits the post
Based on his goals video and the goal he scores at 45:45, he is definitely someone who should be played centrally. But he does appear capable if he finds himself out wide. It's a big step up to PL defenders, though, and I hope he can adjust quickly. Still hasn't officially signed yet...

Looks like a class act although admittedly against Championship defences...
A lot of them are on a plate, or he's picking up crumbs from another forward. Most of the chances he gets on the highlights wouldnt come his way playing the way we do. I think he would be playing a role for Swans more like that he was playing for England as a lone wolf. He would struggle on his own against most Premier League Centre Back pairings. He undoubtedly has potential, but he may not have the body strength for the Premier League at the moment. We cant get rid of Llorente on the basis of signing Abraham.

My thoughts exactly.
I have no issue witn him coming in as back up, but would still like us to further strengthen up top when Borja leaves.

Call me cynical but I think Lorrente may be part of the deal.
I don't get all this jizzing over a young lad who had a decent season against 2nd rate championship defenders

I honestly don't either, Pencoed.
But I think it's more to do with the feeling our club is targeting the right type of player again: young, good pedigree, and hungry to prove himself on a big stage. I would agree, but only if this is a switch in strategy from Jenkins' reject bin policy.
Otherwise, we just signed an unproven 19-year old from Chelsea's youth team who doesn't really match our style of play at the moment. It would become a very poor move if Llorente were headed the other way, also.
So, we'll just have to wait and see. Jenkins wouldn't have it any other way, mind you. Genius and all.

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Pretty sure come start of July the club will move for more players as they will save money ...
Leaving the best players go elsewhere to save a few weeks wages is a false economy. At least it looks like we are being more proactive this year. Hopefully the Mesa deal in particular comes off.

Have only seen highlights and one half-match, but I do genuinely like what I see from the kid. I'm a bit concerned about his strength and link-up play, but he's clearly very talented with a bright future ahead of him. Hopefully, he can start it off with a superb year for us.
IF he signs, mind you. Still waiting... (me whistling, doing Axl-shimmy)
