We are trying to gauge if Newcastle fans think the loan signing for the season of 19 year-old striker Tammy Abraham from Chelsea would be a good signing for Newcastle – if the deal goes through.
Let us know.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in February 2017 and started hormone treatment back on 6th March and chemotherapy infusions on 13th April.
I completed the chemotherapy treatments on July 27th and am currently recovering from the sometimes massive side effects of the chemo.
The next step is to have another cat scan in early October to gauge my current medical condition following chemotherapy.
At that time we will work out what comes next.
While there’s no cure for stage 4 cancer there are treatments to prolong life
I'll do my very best in the coming months to fight this with everything I have.

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.
We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.
I am so appreciative of his help.
Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

Comment #5I like the idea of bringing Tammy in. Is Tammy short for anything? Tambellina? It’s a strange name but I can get used to it if he fills the net for us.

Comment #19As far as I can tell so far Tammy has only been checked for toenail fungus and bad breath. This is not a complete medical. Let’s not celebrate before wor chickens are hatched and cross the road lads! Harrumph…..

Comment #20If tammy was that keen to join us he wouldn’t bother waiting for Brighton to call him, that to me seems he’s not that bothered, while our own player a certain Adam Armstrong is desperate to play for us, only one winner there.

Comment #22I’d Rather us getting an experienced prem player to be honest, Shane Long or Charlie Austin.

Comment #23Yes, Tammy will win welshie. At this point he’s the better striker. I like Adam but he’s not ready for the Big Show yet.

Comment #25I simply don’t agree with helping other clubs develop their players – and paying for the privilege to boot.
That said, I can see why Rafa’s doing this. A year of Tammy gives Arma another year to prove himself on loan. If it works out, Abraham leaves to be replaced by Arma – although I still see it as another season Arma could be learning under a master coach wasted.
Wherever he goes it needs to suit his style. No long ball merchants hoofing it towards his six foot five marker and expecting results.
You can’t compare a season at different clubs either? A lot of Abrahams goals were tap ins from what I’ve seen, whereas Arma makes his own goals from differing positions. He was simply at the wrong club last season imo.
This season he needs to step it up and scream at Rafa ‘I’m ready!’ in a way that can’t be ignored – goals.

Comment #26Tammy is probably no better than Sammy.
GeordieTwo
Jun 2, 2017 at 8:27 PM
Comment #27Tammy is far better than Sammy welshie. That’s why we’ve given him the nickname Doodles. Sammy never had a cool nickname like that…..
GeordieTwo
Jun 2, 2017 at 8:28 PM
Comment #28I think we need a loan player like Doodles Bobbybee mate. Don’t forget Ashley is cheap. We need to scrape and save wherever we can until we’ve had a season in the Big Show.

Comment #29Welshie
I wouldn’t want us to go anywhere near Austin or Long. Ones injury prone and the other has a worst goalscoring record than most players in the PL, as much as im not keen on abraham id take the kid over them 2 options you’ve provided.
Hopefully we can get this sporting lad in at the back, not seen much of him but seems to be a highly rated CB.

brighton is much closer to home for him, so obviously a consideration for a young lad

Armstrong 6 goals last season, tammy 26.

Comment #39Welsh
He’s comparing him to Armstrong. So yes, it’s very relevant considering that there goal tallies from the same league are vastly different. Tammy is clearly further ahead in development than Armstrong.
