Akpan was released today. Nigel sounded quite interested in him at one point, but its gone all quiet since. From the little I saw of him I wasn't that interested and Hope we don't sign him. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_6962223,00.html
well played sir... I hope there's nothing in it, never really seemed to impress. From the players being released by all clubs i'd rather we were in for chimbonda
Thought he looked good in the 2 games I saw him in tbh, and is still young. Would have had him for a year to see how he develops tbh. Hope he gets a new club soon though.
Goochie124, I take it you didn't go to the Bristol City game? To be fair, most of the players were crap that day. Nigel would have been able to make a good assessment of him during his time with us so it looks like we may not bring him in. Who knows though, although Nigel did say that he had concretised matters in his head after that final game about a number of the players?
I can't believe we just keep releasing youth player like this, if we want to maintain a steady stream of quality youth this is not the way to go forward. We have no Hope!
just goes to show how out of touch I am, I honestly don't always keep up with some of the reserves and pottential youth signings, my bad, too busy trying to make a pun! ha
