Timmy Abraham signs

I’m pleased with this. Thought he did well out wide against Coventry. I’m also confident that whatever the deal, we will have made provision for us to make a few quid, should he move on. The era of Bonser selling cheap to maintain the rent payments is hopefully behind us.

I think that this is a good, sensible, low risk signing which the Club has nothing to lose and gain only gain from. Assuming of course that we have the option of an extra year in our favour???

I wouldn’t have thought that he would be a huge drain on the budget, and if MF can nurture him over the next few months to turn him into a promising young talent second half of the season, then this could be very good business.

He comes here with no expectations from me, so anything positive he delivers is going to be a bonus. It is now down to him to prove that he has a future as a professional footballer Plus it would be nice to hopefully see a raw. young player develop into something special.

I haven’t seen him play yet but hopefully will get the chance on Saturday. He offers something different and could be another Adebayo. The squad looks half-decent on paper - lets hope it translates to the pitch. UTS

“A lot of fans made up their minds about him during his first season, and thought he was useless.”

Guilty as charged.

Actually just clicked my logo and typed in “Adebayo”. Took literally seconds :+1:

“You found stuff to make a point, how sad” :joy::joy:

A direct quote from a Newport fan i speak to online Timmy is about as much use as an ice cube in a volcano not a fan then? :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I have only watched him against Villa.

He is obviously quick, a few times he got the ball played in behind the defence to run on to. Didn’t appear to know whether to pick a pass or have a shot so did a Forest Gump and just kept running.

Can’t really judge him too much from that one game though, hopefully we can make some use of his pace.

…and there’s his nickname if he’s not an instant success…

Let’s hope he erupts onto the scene then.

He is well worth a gamble. One thing you cannot coach is pace and it terrifies defenders. And there is real potential that he will develop into something special.

On another thread, Mark Rees has been eulogised but, in fact, all he had was pace but that still made him a valuable member of the squad. (Yes, I know about the Milk Cup run and he was great but remember that he was not first choice in the League then).

I’d have much rather signed Josh March but I’m guessing the budget wouldn’t stretch to that. If he is cheap which I expect he is then he is probably worth a go. His pace alone will scare defenders. Just a left wingback needed now and we are good to go.

Worth a gamble and complements the existing firepower at the club. Wonder who will be first choice off the bench between him and Doug Taylor.

With a good coach behind him Timmy has the ability to frighten the life out of defences, who is our striker coach at the moment? and who coached Ade?

We don’t have a designated striker coach. Stewart was our striker coach when we had Adebayo, but left in the Autumn as he was sold in the Jan.

Shouldn’t have let him go, he was worth his weight in gold

He left due to the location of the club. Still lives down south. He is now at Yeovil in some capacity.
