I have lost track of who a 40m player is.
I think that would be the big problem for Arsenal fans, the optics of the deal as you described.Another Chelsea cast off for Arsenal. The only difference here is that Abraham is young and might still have a point to prove.
His attitude and professionalism are both top class, and he's a very good finisher. He's pretty mediocre with the ball at his feet and although he's handy when defending set pieces he's not a standout aerially. What holds him back is that he's a poor passer and progressor of the ball - he doesn't do very much in terms of chance creation and when he drops into midfield it always goes poorly. He's also pretty poor at pressing.I think that would be the big problem for Arsenal fans, the optics of the deal as you described.
Ignoring the fact that it's The Sun, as I said earlier, I think the problem for me is that the deal doesn't make sense while Lacazette & Aubameyang are still here. That's just overkill in that area, unless he plays Auba wide left again, & I don't think anyone wants to see that anymore.
Would be interested to know Chelsea fans opinions & Abraham himself mind you?
I think that Arsenal have been too willing to take these past their best players like Cech, Willian and Luiz who have done it all with Chelsea but now want to just a earn paycheck and remain in London. Cech wasn't that bad but he was past his best and went back to Chelsea as soon as he retired to become a coach, Luiz is completely error prone and Willian has done barely anything and shown up this season overweight.I think that would be the big problem for Arsenal fans, the optics of the deal as you described.

Thanks for this. In my opinion, we do need a more rounded forward. Aubameyang doesn't contribute much at all in the build up play. Lacazette is better in this regard but he lacks a bit of pace & athleticism. If you could combine the 2 you'd make a much more complete forward.His attitude and professionalism are both top class, and he's a very good finisher.

Ultimately he's a very good player in both penalty boxes, but won't contribute much otherwise.
Because leadership!
Cech move wasn't about paycheck. Chelsea had identified Courtois as his successor and wanted him to come back from Atletico and start right away (that was his demand anyway). Cech however was settled in London and didn't want to shift his family elsewhere. So Roman as a nice gesture for his long service allowed him to join another London club. Cech's loyalty however always remained at Chelsea.I think that Arsenal have been too willing to take these past their best players like Cech, Willian and Luiz who have done it all with Chelsea but now want to just a earn paycheck and remain in London.

Abraham could be different on account of the fact he's young and with something to prove.
Alright sure if it makes you feel better you might have a scrap with Leicester City pal but in the last 5 season the highest you've finished is 5th,Although Arsenal haven't been doing well lately and Arteta is an inexperienced manager who makes poor decisions. But to say a team consisting of Partey, Saka, Tierney, Pepe and Auba isn't can't come close to United or Leicester is another level of stupidity. Only thing holding these players back is poor coaching.
So do leaders just exist when you win? Or do you just win a trophy and never kick on from there, being content like Auba was after winning the cup and getting a bumper contract?We won a trophy recently under Arteta and I'm pretty sure you're yet to win anything with Ole.
How does this fit into your "leadership" theory, baring in mind your squad is much better than ours? Where were your leaders against Villarreal?
I have to admit, the armchair psychology experts on this forum will never cease to make me laugh

Last two seasons we've had progression in the table where Arsenal have had their back to back worst finishes since 1995, i am not trying to bait Arsenal fans, you're just mid table mediocrity and the stats show it.

120m on those two and White is, well, not great. I'm a fan of White and Abraham but fecking hell.I can't believe the Abraham or Ramsdale links are true. Did we ask around to see if there was something doable ? Sure, why not. Getting into talks after being told it's 30 and 40M ? No way. If these are true we'd have a top 3 contender of our worst transfer window.
Add 73m on Pepe. Arsenal used to be good at finding bargains and gems in the market, but not anymore.120m on those two and White is, well, not great. I'm a fan of White and Abraham but fecking hell.
Complete team player that was an Arsenal fan as a kid and still supports Arsenal, as long as they are not playing Chelsea.I think that would be the big problem for Arsenal fans, the optics of the deal as you described.

White is a bit pricey but you can understand the logic of it. Ramsdale at 30M means he's our new #1 whether we sell Leno or not. You don't blow 30M on a back-up just because he's homegrown. Give it to Okonkwo for all i care, at least we'll have a laugh. You have Onana available for 10m, Ryan who ends up at Real Sociedad and i'm sure loads of other adequate young keepers in the Championship for that role. Not a fan of Abraham from what i've seen and especially not at that price.120m on those two and White is, well, not great. I'm a fan of White and Abraham but fecking hell.
Money + London probably. Apparently on 110kpw at Leicester and could easily get 150/160 at Arsenal while being the main offensive man.It's rumour though but Maddison want to join arsenal. Very good player though if arsenal pulled that off it will be a spectacular window for them.
But why he want to leave Leicester for arsenal at current stage comparing both clubs.
You'd think Leicester could stretch to 150kpw. Especially if they're really pushing to cement themselves among the bigger clubs.Money + London probably. Apparently on 110kpw at Leicester and could easily get 150/160 at Arsenal while being the main offensive man.
But the way Leicester deals with outgoings, we'd have to overpay once more. Unless they can really use AMN or Nelson.
Theres rumours that we've offered to double his money, & that he has a price that Leicester would be content to sell at, because he has recurring hip injuries that seems to curtail his form a bit.It's rumour though but Maddison want to join arsenal. Very good player though if arsenal pulled that off it will be a spectacular window for them.

No doubt but he signed this one just last summer so they might not want to give the impression he can renew every year for more money.You'd think Leicester could stretch to 150kpw. Especially if they're really pushing to cement themselves among the bigger clubs.
Yeah I must say that the links make little sense to me - Arsenal have struggled recently in terms of chance creation and I don't think that bringing in a penalty box poacher like Tammy would boost the attack much.Thanks for this. In my opinion, we do need a more rounded forward. Aubameyang doesn't contribute much at all in the build up play. Lacazette is better in this regard but he lacks a bit of pace & athleticism.

I just wasn't sure if Abraham had the skills required, or at least be coached, to be a well rounded forward going forward.
This actually made me laughImagine spunking 85m on Ben White and Aaron Ramsdale that’s just ridiculous.
Arteta told he’s got a budget of 100m+ and his response was ‘get me White and Ramsdale’ ….fecking hell
"And when you get those two for me get me Abraham too, I'll take this fecking league by a storm!"Imagine spunking 85m on Ben White and Aaron Ramsdale that’s just ridiculous.

Lacazette only having 12 months left on his deal, no new contract (think Arsenal learnt their lesson with Auba) but not being linked with any move away is a bit odd.I would have thought Arsenal would be in for a striker. Lacazette and Aubameyang are/were good players but Aubameyang seems to have stopped trying and Lacazette won’t score 15-20 goals
Tammy is a great signing for them. Alexander Lackathreat is finished and Auba seems to have lost his way. I think the Ramsdale signing is throwing a lot of people off. White and Abraham are annoyingly 2 very good signings that fix a lot of their problems from last season.Lacazette only having 12 months left on his deal, no new contract (think Arsenal learnt their lesson with Auba) but not being linked with any move away is a bit odd.
Aubameyang will have to stay another 12 months and then Arsenal can unload for small fee next summer (he feels such a Barcelona signing the way they're run currently).
Nkeiteh nowhere near good enough for potential top 6 finish.
Martinelli certainly should be but missing pre season and picks up injuries. Dosen't seem to have full faith from Arteta either.
Can certainly see logic in getting in a Tammy Abraham but problem there is he's a younger Auba, needs crosses and constant supply of chances to score and won't stretch play too much.
Spectacular, really? An overpriced decent CB, and if Tammy goes through, a decent CF, and Maddison, makes a "spectacular" window? I actually like Maddison, but aren't there certain questions around his discipline? Would living in London really be the best for his type of profile? It seems like it would be a good signing, but not clear cut either. I dunno, I find their window underwhelming so far.It's rumour though but Maddison want to join arsenal. Very good player though if arsenal pulled that off it will be a spectacular window for them.

Arsenal not in Europe. So they can't dream about premium players. What they try to do is best for present scenario. They can try to bring in premium players but it won't happen.Spectacular, really?

Abraham like you said very good goal poacher. But also very frustrating player. He need to develop further for that need regular game time.Controversial opinion here, but I like Abraham. I think he'd be a massive success at Arsenal and pretty much anywhere in the league. The issue is that he's not a glamorous enough name for Chelsea's hierarchy, and for most people outside the club, but he is a very effective goalscorer and has everything a striker needs to succeed.
If Martial is leaving next summer and Haaland/Kane are nonstarters for us, then I would absolutely not mind a punt on Abraham.
