Why on earth would you risk all that and allow Warnock to try it his way. There is far too much to lose, more Rudy Gestede's and Adlene Guedioura's please. Let's continue overpaying for the next generation of overpaid donkeys for the boo boys to hone their skills on. Too late, it's already changed significantly over the last 18 months Link to post Share on other sites

Why would he say those things if he'd never seen him play outside of a video? Regardless of which time he was telling the truth, he was lying on one of the occasions. Because you don't say "KIeffer Moore was my number one choice, but we couldn't sign him, so we've got this bloke who I've never heard of. Let's hope he's not ***." It's standard management talk. It's hardly a surprise Warnock has it down pat. Link to post Share on other sites

In that time we've jolted from Scottish revolution to bargain bin to Spanish revolution to "what's that player worth to you, well double it!" back to bargain bin to "how tall is he? Nope". Say what you want but we aren't afraid to shake things up! Link to post Share on other sites

It's the second quote most people took issue with, where he threw the scouting team and akpom himself under the bus rather than take any personal responsibility. The fact that he originally emphasised how akpom was his signing and someone he followed for a long time just shows nothing he says can be taken at face value. That's putting it kindly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

However i'll defend Akpom in a sense, as he doesn't suit the system we play, nor should NW have outed him in public. Didn't he literally say Akpom was his first choice and he'd been watching him for ages? Link to post Share on other sites

All a bit pointless now, he's already our player now Link to post Share on other sites

Under and I'd rather keep hold as I think there's a lot more to come from him. Have to keep reminding people that he's 20. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Robin Johnson 612 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Nearer to £1 million would be my valuation. He’s hardly invaluable to us do I don’t get these pie in the sky estimates 1 Link to post Share on other sites
HolgateBoy 96 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Given his 'performances' this season, we'd be lucky to get a curly wurly and a packet of hobnobs. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
