Gone Elsewhere Chuba Akpom

[Frank the tank]

Murmurs seem to be we've agreed a deal to sell someone else.
Those two won't sign new deals so seem the likeliest candidates..

Murmurs you've made up

 

[ben1987]

Off where though?

No idea, they seem to think he’s off but didn’t say where to. They’re weaker than last season and seem quite annoyed.

He wasn’t my first choice but I’m at the point now where we just need some bodies in.

Murmurs you've made up

Nope. Came from a well known regular poster with credible inside knowledge.

Why would you think I've made it up, does it seem unbelievable to you that we'd sell another player?

I spoke to a another well known regular poster with credible inside knowledge.

Why would anyone think I've made it up does it see unbelievable to you that we don't sell another player.

I just remember you putting two and two together and coming up with 56885 in that inimitable way you do

To play the game...
I would find it surprising if we didn't sell another player. But not unbelievable.

Following your usual MO of playing the poster and not the post...

Just the posting style didn't say anything about you personally
I don't know you

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

I reckon this won't happen.

 

[gaffablade]

Looks like he is happy at Boro

He’s waiting to see what our supply of gloves from Errea is like

 

[FTPE]

I'm not overly excited about him being Ndiaye's replacement, but if he is, and he's been lined up as such for some time, then why are we already fannying about and not putting the bid in?

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

No thanks he's injured.

 

[jono_t2000]

No thanks he's injured.

The same way Jebbo is injured..

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

The same way Jebbo is injured..

How many treatment tables do we have.

 

[jono_t2000]

How many treatment tables do we have.

I'll back Akpom to have made a miraculous full recovery if we sign him.

Same with Jebbo for whichever club he goes to

Trying to find a competent expert to do his medical - we need cast iron guarantee he’s mended well since his injury ?
(We are good at signing strikers who can’t stay fit)

 

[jono_t2000]

Is it today dad

 

[Torrix1889]

He tweeted a picture of him in his Boro kit with a ️ emoji which the Boro fans have interpreted as a "matter of time" before he signs a new deal....would be pretty crass of Akpom to post such a tweet if he was leaving.

 

[Blade56]

How many treatment tables do we have.

Hearing we’ve withdraw our offer for Tillman, medical discovered he was fit to play on Satdi

 

[71Blade]

I don't understand why there is such negativity towards Akpom 28 goals last season for a reported £8m yet we busted £20m each for McBurnie and Brewdog seems a fair price to me. Any striker we can afford is a gamble at least this kid has scored shy of 30 goals last season. Personally I'd not be adverse to this one if the fee is less than £10m ..UTB

 

[munksyb]

Akpom was on the Subs Bench on Saturday, which could mean :-

a) he has a niggle injury , but needs trash time at the end of the game when they are 3 goals up,

But they were losing 1-0 in which case he would deffinately be on for the last 15 mins

b) he is leaving but, they need to keep up the pretence that they aren't selling

However, the jump in price slapped on his head to £10m + indicates they are trying to maximise thier income if he does leave.

My take is He is leaving

Akpom's statement was in effect covering all bases, vowing allegiance if he stays, but with the add on about things aren't in his control

My take is He is leaving

I see him as not being a MaAtee, but more of an Olie Watkins.

I'd take that

The question is how much are we prepared to pay ????

 

[Blade56]

I see him as not being a MaAtee, but more of an Olie Watkins.

I'd take that

Closer to Ollie Burke than Watkins

I’d take that at the moment

 

[Rocket Man]

I was impressed with him last season as everyone would be. He comes across as moody and maybe that fed into a proving everyone wrong season. Hoping that isn't the end of the 'proving everyone wrong' journey, if and when he joins us. At least our salary shouldn't stereotypically debilitate his mindset.

 

[Brownieblade]

I don’t think this tweet has changed much myself, I reckon Boro can’t afford to give him a new deal based on ,probably what we have offered , I think if they could and given the choice between us both he would choose Boro and so he has let them know that, but in end the money will talk

 

[FriethBlade]

As crass as filming a video and taking the number 10 shirt from a club legend?

Money talks and thats why I don't think he's coming here. He's apparently on big money at Boro and my guess is he only leaves for a big wage increase which we won't give him

Boro have offered him a deal with a pay rise, it’s on the table for him as is our offer. It’s all gonna be down to the player but our offer is in place with him and boro.
