Nevin's opinion
"Didier Drogba didn't hit his real career form until mid-20s and I think the same could happen with Tammy.

"I wouldn't say it's a mistake to let him go, but if Tammy would have stayed for the next four years, then he would have been a fabulous striker for Chelsea.
"The problem is that it would be unfair for Tammy to sit on the bench, so a move away was needed more for himself.
"I think one day Tammy could come back the finished article and lead the line for Chelsea."
Abraham had limited playing time under Thomas Tuchel and the arrival of Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan dropped him from the pecking order.
However, Chelsea are not giving up on the potential of the 23-year-old as they have added a buy-back clause of £68m in his contract with the Stadio Olimpico outfit.
The clause can only be activated in the next two years which the Blues believe Abraham would have attained the height of being called a world-class striker.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier had reported that Romelu Lukaku hit Chelsea's training ground at Cobhams for his much-anticipated debut against Arsenal at the Emirates, The Sun.
The 28-year-old rejoined the Blues for a record-breaking £97.5million from Inter Milan this summer and all is now set for the Belgian to get into the thick of things.
And the Belgium international has declared that he is ready to do battle against their London rivals Arsenal who lost to Brentford on their opening day fixture.
