Chuba Akpom - "dropped out of the race"

[stu]

Akpom can go to France or England. After it was previously announced that Sunderland hopes to hire him, Leicester City and Olympique Marseille are now also very concrete. At Leicester City, Akpom would come to work under former top striker Ruud van Nistelrooy. Akpom, who is the third striker behind Brian Brobbey and Wout Weghorst, played several times as an occasional left winger.

Being behind weghorst isn’t great 

[DJ Barry Hammond]

Well we know he’s decent at the level below us. 
 

Wouldn’t be against this, although I thought he was younger than 29… still that’s his prime, not a pensioner yet! 

[iancognito]

We'll manage thanks.

Weghorst is one of those strikers managers just play though isn’t he, regardless of whether he’s particularly good.

Not massively keen on this one. He was good at Middlesbrough, but by the looks of it been meh in meh leagues. 

 

I think we need to look somewhere else if I'm honest.

Actually a decent source as well so must be something in this.

[Stopharage]

I'd rather we signed Chuba Pringles. 

[Blanchflower78]

Smacks of all other strikers we sign. Why break the mould. 3 year deal and crying out to shift him in May

[DerbyshireFox]

As expected, having to fish at the bottom of the barrel 

[kingpowerout]

One word: underwhelming 

[AjcW]

How many times have we been linked to this ****????

[Fox85]

Nothing to worry about.

 

We are not making any signings this window.

 

The RB is all we will be getting.

 

I said the other day that win against spurs would of confirmed with rudkin no signings are needed.

Scraping the barrel here

[RizLCFC]

Worse than Edouard?

We don't even have our rod in the barrel anymore. We are looking for discarded dead minnows that people have left beside it.

I think people need to realise we are shopping in the bargain bin.

 

 

[-sodapop]

Had a feeling this one would pop up. I get that he's a decent hold-up striker but I'd only do a loan

[kingfox]

Thought we may have signed him in the summer tbf.

 

He was quality in the Championship for Middlesbrough in the 22/23 season. 
 

Even last season for Ajax despite not being a regular starter, his underlying goalscoring data was some of the best in the Eredivisie. 
 

Has dropped off again this season though, while throughout his career you never really knew what to expect from him, a lot of ups and downs.
 

Wouldn’t be surprised if he does sign as he has certain attributes that I think we need, but can understand why fans would be underwhelmed by him.

Rather buy no one if thats the case. They improve us or we dont sign them

[Lambert09]

Downgrade on Tom cannon imo

[lcfcsnow]

One good season in the championship at 29 years old

Sad thing is he’s still better than Daka and Edouard 

[SecretPro]
