Guest Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 3 minutes ago, Hampshire reds said: why sign him in the first place. Because he seems to have a lot of quality, but just not hard enough working. Could be a mistake by the club, which happens, but didn't cost loads. Surprised he hasn't been loaned as he could be very good in league one, and then at least make some money on him as teams would then want him and would probably offer half decent money.

You do realise that we can only have 18 players in a match day squad but clubs require more players than that to cover the 18 places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our getting the best out of our players is very mixed but , It may be logical that a few fall short in this challenge, mentally more so than, in technical ability ? Couldn't agree more Bob...win the mental battle & the 'penny can then drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s getting games at U23 level, but he’s not performing well enough in them to deserve a place. Presumably not showing enough in training either. Let’s face it, with our injury crisis it should have been reasonably straightforward for him to have had some first team minutes this season.

He's appeared a couple of times and been found wanting. Watch him in the 23's and you'll see he's not up to it at this level. He may be one day, but certainly not yet. Same as Bakinson, neither look to me that they want it bad enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to show what he can do in the u23 games he’s been playing in, and he obviously hasn’t. Against Leeds he was atrocious, looked like a downs league player.

redapple Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 I’ve met him a few times. He seems a polite fella, but not outwardly confident. Seems to be on the outside of the City set up especially since Taylor and Patterson left. He still believed that LJ could improve his game and had faith in him. Was unhappy not to get a move on TDD.

Big C Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 ADELAKUN IN LOAN TALKS Bristol City winger Hakeeb Adelakun is the subject of talks over a loan move to Rotherham. Sunderland and Doncaster Rovers are also said to be keen on the 23-year-old – but a source has indicated a move to the Millers could be concluded in the next 24 to 48 hours. Adelakun, who signed for the Robins on a Bosman free transfer in 2018, has not made an appearance yet this season and took to the pitch only five times last term.

You cant tell me he fluked his ability and performances at Scunthorpe. From what LJ said he's very much a confidence player and is very raw in terms of tactical knowledge. I think he could struggle at rotherham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The management team are well in credit in terms of young players who've left for a profit or contributed to the first team. The model has worked. There's obviously going to be a few that don't work out, that goes without saying really. I think the reason people pour scorn on that approach is because it was a culture shock to us. People were shocked at how inflated transfer fees had become and paying 7 figures for players who didn't immediately make the first team seemed crazy. Times have changed, it's not 2007 anymore and our recruitment reflects that. Adelukan was a fairly sensible signing really, far less of a risk than say Eliasson, Engvall or Taylor Moore and smaller outlay too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 There are some players out there in transfer land who have been signed for millions.........but just don't cut it, and so move on. This guy cost us peanuts, so it is no big deal if he ends up not playing for us long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
