Cam I think you’re really over egging this. He’s had one good goal scoring season in his career. he has potential to be good but there’s no guarentee
Of course he could fail, but I think if i was signing someone to push us over the line out of Akpom and Cannon - then i would have chosen akpom
You're right in that its not a guarantee, but I think its a safer guess to say any striker will fail than to say he'll succeed as has been the case in this league for a while - I say let cam get excited and if it goes tits up you lose nothing from being skeptical originally.
It’s my genuine opinion tbh mate. Nearly 30 goals in the league we are currently in only two seasons ago and scored 15 in 35 last season which is a very good return. I personally think this would be great just my opinion
I agree with Cam on this one like, think it would be a ridiculous signing for us.. it’s another huge statement of intent. Look at the other clubs mentioned. He’s got a fairly decent return from his time at Ajax too. How many teams does he not walk into at this level?
Not sure if you replied to the right post - but yeah i am also on board with it being a good move as I mentioned before.
To me, the only thing I'd hope regarding Akpom is that his attitude is good if he came here. He's another that comes with good pedigree, the type of player that's been waiting for that season for a long time, it comes along and he ends up at a very big club going through some stuff. It was a weird but good move I thought at the time. I'd be very excited by the signing. I'd personally like it to be similar to the Le Fee deal.
Can't say that I'm convinced about Akpom personally. Mind, I wasn't arsed about BBD, Cannon or Frigan either.
Yep I really like that move, he had a lot of interest in him across Europe- not surprised he turned down Aberdeen
Akpom would be a decent short term signing - knows the league and he is a good finisher He is the type of lad that if you get the best out of him then he makes a difference in tight games Im not a huge fan of his but I do think it would be a smart signing for this season He would fit into our system nicely as well, whether as a lone striker or playing in a front 2 at times
