Thank god for that, we can move on to maybe a more experienced striker to help us out. Also as many have said, think we need permanent players, not loanees, as I am sure they will be playing for themselves and parent club. Good news I think in the long run, only bad news if we do not sign another striker.....move on
This suggestion is nonsense. Its perfectly likely that Clement's relationships with people at Chelsea will play a part, but any link between Clement and the player himself is exceedingly tenuous.
Clement joined Chelsea in 2007 as an U16s coach, when Tammy Abraham was TEN. By the time Tammy was TWELVE years old, Clement was working with the first team. By the time Tammy was 14, Clement was at Blackburn.

Think to be honest if we take our blue and white striped hats off, if you were a young a player and had 3 teams after you, one up north a long way from home, a local one but new to Premier league and untested, or an established team in the league with a good reputation of playing good football etc, managed by someone he knows...maybe not a bad choice.

Or Celtic (who are apparently also interested), again a long way from home, but potentially Champions/Europa League football.
Edit: scrap that, seems like Swansea is as good as done deal. Maybe Celtic left their interest a little too late.
He may turn out to be fantastic but anyone that doesn't want to be here we can do without.
On to other targets.

Disappointed but not surprised. As Premier League new boys we are below Swansea in the pecking order. We badly need pace up front.

Does it really, strikes we he's more interest in money that who he plays for. Besides we managed to stop him scoring twice against us last year and I can't remember him being much of a threat
I heard Barca and PSG. Justifiably so, he scored some goals in the Championship.

Quite relieved now - absolutely nothing wrong with having players loan - in fact I believe loanees will be essential for us this season. They have to be loanees with the right attitude and character though, like Bridge, Ward, Tomori, Poco, etc. Wonder if Swansea coughed up that extra £million that the agent and Tammy apparently suddenly added to their demands?

Almost certainly.

Less than 5 days ago The Daily Mail reported: He vowed to put talks about his future on hold until the (Under-21 Championship) tournament had been completed.
'The discussions will happen after,' said Abraham. 'Hopefully it will be in the Premier League. I need to take myself to the next level. That's the type of person I am. I always want to do better.'
Seems to me that there's a contradiction there - I'm not the finished article but I still want the same money those that are the finished article get. £50K a week, half a million signing-on fee in the bank and a fat contract with Chelsea but nobody knows whether he can cut it in the Prem.
Clearly, a young guy coming in with no Prem experience and busting our wage structure would not have played out well for us. It will be interesting to see what happens to Swansea and their team morale with the likes of Llorente on big money and Sigurdsson the target of Everton. Hopefully Everton will shift Lukaku and buy Sigurdsson, in which case I can see Swansea very much in the mix for relegation.

it's been long and drawn out, and a lot of people are fed up with it, but if he did sign I think most fans would be pretty happy about it.

Gone to Swansea apparently.
I naively
thought that TA's agent was not in the football business for the money; instead simply being there for TA's general wellbeing.
