Davefevs Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 8 minutes ago, Luxo Jr. said: Good points well made. No idea then. 4-2-3-1, with Paterson and Weimann battling for the role behind the striker? We might have to lose one attacking player for this to make sense, with COD, Eliasson, Watkins, Adelakun all gunning for the same positions. Maybe not though. Think 4231 (OllyWhite suggested this) and 433 or variants of look to be likely with the personnel bought in so far, especially if Weimann incoming too. However, if we sign Marriott, then all up in the air again! (I think this is off the table) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own theory is that we're off-loading players with short names - Reid, Pack, Bryan, Flint - and buying players with longer names - Adelukun, Weimann - in order to increase income from selling letters on the backs of shirts. For that reason I don't expect us to sign Krul - but anticipate a double barrelled name to arrive soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 4 minutes ago, Jerseybean said: https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/who-hakeeb-adelakun-explosive-winger-14761328 So 18 months ago he was warned that he needed to put more into training, he responded to that to such an extent that he has become one of their key players? But hey lets all join in with Jerseybean and call him immature and selfish. Actually I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you didn't get past the adverts, to see the most recent quotes about him. “There’s a lot more to come from him - he’s a lot more mature, he’s a lot stronger and his decision making is better. He’s a boy with incredible talent, as everybody knows. “He still is under 24, so if he doesn’t accept that offer and goes elsewhere there are things in place to make sure we get benefit from his development.” Perhaps you would like to move onto the next unfounded criticism of the Management?

BTRFTG Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Know little about him but two positives: He's 6' 2" ( i.e. a Giant in squad terms) He surely can't be as bad as the last winger we signed from Scunthorpe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSSEL85 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 1 hour ago, JonDolman said: I'm thinking pack or Smith holding, probably Smith as LJ seems to prefer him. O'Dowda and Brownhill central box to box. Walsh and Pato reserve. And then we will have Adelakun, Watkins and Weimann competing for 2 winger places. Whoever gets in, that's 9 players competing for 5 positions, with Eliasson probably going out on loan. Great depth of players so no burn out this season I hope. Positive but I hope we can keep all the players happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we get a player that Premier League sides tried to sign, as well as a number of other teams in the Championship. But he's not good enough for you because you're ignorant of who one of the higher rated lower league youngsters is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmanuel-Thomas was a great signing for us all things overall, especially when we essentially swapped him for Paul Anderson. Not sure where this notion about Adelakun having 'flaws' has come from either (the insinuation being attitude) - have people just not understood LJ's signing statement?

Can we please stop pretending that this is a specialty of LJ's? He moved Bobby up top due to a strong recommendation from an analyst and that's it. Yes he still deserves credit for Bobby's success because it was a big risk and he went for it but let's stop pretending that LJ is the master of converting midfielders into strikers.

It seems to have come from a comment about him sometimes being immature, by a manager 18 months ago (should that be 18/12?). But also ignoring a recent comment from the same manager that he has matured a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
