Gone Elsewhere Chuba Akpom

[BelgianBlade]

Just had a quick peek over on one of the Ajax forums, and there's remarkably little excitement about this. They're basically asking all the same questions: yes, one good season, but what else; what does he add to this team; with some suggesting it might all be a bit of a smokescreen by his agent to get other clubs to bid.

One thing I noticed though is that one of the people casting doubt on whether this is a good move for Ajax goes by the username "Snake":

It's not Bettissss, he's a one-eyed snake

 

[Blade56]

Akpom would have been a gamble........one season wonder.....age nearer 30 than 25..........and price,i'm glad he is all but signed for Ajax.

Other strikers out there to fit our model.

Not if he’s 27

Snake? Snnnaaakkee?!

 

[Green7361]

3 year contract, full set of Delft crockery, weekly tulip & Edam delivery & a bicycle.

I'd go for the Edam

[Rifleman]

No he is 27 and something. And if something is more than half, he is nearer 28. You are saying £1.75 is one pound. Stupid.

Some analogy that

[Rifleman]

stick to the attention seeking m8

Yes that’s what I’m doing.

 

[Slim Man]

Yes that’s what I’m doing.

Who are we currently after then, what's the latest position?

huge if true at this point

We are after someone who can read our current two forwards a lovely bedtime story and not over-heat the milk .

I'm frustrated we missed out on Akpom, not because I think he'll set the Prem on fire if we signed him but he was Heckys priority signing (if what you read is true) so I feel the board should have backed him with that.

Hecky's priority signings also included re-upping Stevens, Sharp, Fleck, Osborn etc so I'm tempted to back the board on this one

It’s a separate debate but the replacements at the moment don’t really look like they’re anywhere near in Traore, Slimane, Laroucci

As Simon Jordan said on the radio this morning, buy quality when you’re in the Premiership so you remain in the league rather than attempting to make profit on young talent because remaining in the league is much more valuable - his reference was relating to the model that Southampton took last season yet still ended up relegated.

Like Leicester and Leeds did then? Good shout Simon.

In fairness to Southampton they’ve made as much from Livramento and Lavia as they would staying in the prem.

For every Leicester there’s a Brighton. You’re right though, can’t guarantee anything in this league.

You forgot the 10 months DOB 9 Oct 1995

I’d rather shit in my hands and clap than take onboard any advice from Simon Jordan.

Still waiting on him to reveal to people who his journalist “mate” is that texted him to say Sharp was insighting violence at Forest.

 

[john Mathison]

Sky news now reporting the lad is flying to the netherlands as we speak. Initial £10 mill, rising to 15 with add on's.

Thought his name on here wouldn’t go too well

I’m actually gutted about this, was it Glyn Hodges left foot that said it was Bettis who has been in charge of this transfer, ffs why the fuck didn’t we just go for it…. I’m well passed off.

Can add another 30 million now as they've sold Ward Prowse to West Ham.
