Buckeyed Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Bristol City have had an offer of compensation to sign Hakeeb Adelakunrejected by Scunthorpe, Sky Sports News understands. The 22-year-old is out of contract at Glanford Park but the Iron are due remneration having signed him as a 16-year-old in 2012. Adelakun has also been of interest to Hull and Nottingham Forest in the Championship, as well as newly-promoted Blackburn Rovers. Scunthorpe offered him a new deal late last year but Adelakun has indicated he will not be extending his stay at the club. The promising winger scored five goals in 49 appearances as Scunthorpe made the League One play-off semi-finals last season, losing to Rotherham. The London-born attacker had youth spells at Crystal Palace and West Ham before joining Scunthorpe, where he has made a total of 169 appearances, scoring 20 times.

Patersons a number 10, Kent gorn off, Eliasson out on loan. Think it makes sense. At the moment, we've only got Watkins, O'Dowda and Eliasson who are actual wingers (that I can recall). If Eliasson ends up in League 1 next year, logic dictates we need another winger. Plus, talented young footballer from the lower leagues on a pittance, exactly the type of signing PNE make and we miss out on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Let's face it, if this is true and those other teams are also interested, we may as well move on to the next target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From our perspective we're probably thinking we could get a lower fee than a tribunal would set. While Scunny are probably thinking they could get a higher one.

Phileas Fogg Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 That's good. I like him, @Carey 6 will also be very pleased with this news. He reminds me a bit of a young Adomah - fast, tricky and unpredictable. He's got the potential to be a very good player with a bit of polishing. Exciting signing if we get him.

Phileas Fogg Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Rumours of signings like him make me think even more that we're going to play a version of a 4-3-3 if/when Reid leaves. O'Dowda, Adelakun and Watkins are all fairly tall and powerful for wingers - I think we're going to be playing with a lot more width and penetration. Could be an interesting stylistic change.

Fordy62 Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 It’s weird to get excited about someone you know nothing about.... but afrocarribean wingers do get me excited...

That's exactly how I see him. Got to admit I originally saw him on one of Harry's lists a few years ago, since then always took an interest in how he was getting on & hoped we would sign him.
