Gone Elsewhere Chuba Akpom

[AdamSufc1997]

No way he turns Ajax and leverkusen down for us if that’s true

 

[Maryland_blade]

Akpom today turned down another new deal at Boro. Ajax, Lens, Bayer Leverkusen, Brentford, palace and Blades all want to sign him. We had a package agreed in principle but it’s now been scrapped due to the amount of interest with Lens bidding what was agreed with us last week to the penny. Boro now want a bidding war for him which I think will be in our favour but our budget has to stretch for 3 more incomings and we don’t foresee anymore major outgoings. Player ideally wants to stay in England and play in the premier league and we are the only English team to formally make an approach.

Any idea on other targets should he go elsewhere?

 

[Rifleman ITK]

We've got no chance against that lot! Makes sense for £8m but above that i have serious doubts

Also if Boro accepted our initial package, where we not in negotiations with Akpom?

Yes we were but it was only accepted in principle which is quite smart really, boro backed out

Jack Clarke has been mentioned a few times as has jack Harrison at Leeds. Hecky is desperate for akpom though for some reason

I was open to see how he'd do here, but I don't like it if it turns into a bidding war. Probably time to look elsewhere.

Perm Clarke loan Harrison?

 

[Rifleman ITK]

Perm Clarke loan Harrison?

Exactly that. Leeds don’t want to sell him but loan him with the option in case they don’t go up.

 

[AnstonBlade1]

If Lens and Ajax are in for Akpom we’ve got no chance, hope Heckys got other striker targets

 

[Rocket Man]

Exactly that. Leeds don’t want to sell him but loan him with the option in case they don’t go up.

Would love either

Ajax also looking at Anel

Please don't tell me that we're seriously considering selling him

Don’t think those two cover same areas as Akpom

 

[Rifleman ITK]

Fuck off pal

He’s a good player and we are in a bit of an ownership crisis.

Some things you should keep to yourself, this one would send me over hahah

It’s only gone as far as enquiries.

Thanks for the update

Are we planning a revised bid?

 

[Tarqs]

How does having a deal accepted in principle, go in our favour if middlesboro turn down in favour of a bidding war?

 

[Rifleman ITK]

For akpom? 100%. It will depend on how high the other clubs are willing to go.

 

[Rifleman ITK]

Our favour because he wants to stay in England and we are the only English bidders … so far.

I wouldn’t worry too much he will cost a bomb and the club don’t want to sell him if they can help it.

Anything about the midfielders mentioned Hamer and Smallbone?

Thanks Rifleman

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

We should really push hard for Jack Harrison

Exactly the sort of player to give us a serious chance. Would be great as part of a front 3 but also a good LWB option which could prove crucial

Would still leave us with 2 PL loans as well

 

[Tarqs]

Our favour because he wants to stay in England and we are the only English bidders … so far.

But will cost us x million more?

Nothing at all.

What about fucking DOING

Last year's article, but found this funny. The 22 stages of a Transfer saga. 'Mulling over a Bid' is stage 7, 'Preparing a Bid' is stage 8. Where does 'Readying a Bid' sit?
