Akpom will probably out score Gray this season and I think will start most games. Who will partner him will be unclear until the window shuts.

He really won't. Akpom will certainly do well based on how he's started, but he's 19 FFS. He'll likely score 10-15 goals if we can keep the team together and touch wood no injuries, but Gray will score 20+.
 
It's their choice, but if they didn't plan on spending, it would have been a good idea not to claim they were to justify the season ticket price increases...

JS: Did you anticipate reducing the costs of season tickets because of relegation?

EA: The pricing is based on the club's aspirations and that's all I can say.

Aspirations to run as a business that doesn't make a loss every year?
 
Ordinarily I'd agree but I was watching him pre-season before I knew anything about him coming here, he's a special talent and I reckon he can easily hit 20 this season

Maybe at a side like Derby, I just don't think we have the free-flowing mentality to allow him to. I guess we'll see, but I'd rather not gamble on a 19 year old kid keeping up that level of consistency over a 46 game season. Would rather the bloke who has been there, done that, bought the T-Shirt last season.

Only time will tell, my mate is an Arsenal fan not to mention my mother so I watched all their pre-season games, he was amazing and fitted in totally with the Arsenal first teamers, couldn't believe Wenger sent him to us to be honest and can only think he might be signing another big name striker like Benzema
 
This is the Championship. Even players like Danny graham can rack up a decent tally in this league.

Was Danny Graham doing it at 19 with no senior experience behind him?

Akpom's had three disjointed loan spells before now, but other than that hasn't really had a chance to get some consistency in his game. He may well score 20-25, I just seriously doubt he can make that leap so suddenly with us. We just don't strike me as the sort of side that will go out and batter sides 3-0 or 4-0.

Yep I have a few Arsenal mates and watched the game where he got his hatty - two penalties I might add. I think he'll be great for us, but how many strikers have we signed that have started like a house on fire then just dried up for months on end?
