The jump to league one isnt as high as it seems when you look at Sheffield Utd, Charlton, among others, and the players involved. Just look at Tommy Rowe! 

He was a very strong league one player when signed ala Smith and Brownhill. 

He's been completely wasted here. We've just wasted 18 months of the guys career ala Eisa.

No we haven’t, much like Eisa he has been given time to show himself worthy of a starting spot but hasn’t. 

He was dreadful at Leeds last season, don’t think he completed a single pass and summed his performance up by dragging a shot so far wide it was nearly a throw in... 

A loan will do him good and then we will hopefully see if he’s ready for another stab at championship football

Yeah that’s the bit I don’t understand - seems the decision was made ages ago. How come it’s taken so long to get him on his way out? Or do some players refuse to go??

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.

But we fought off a “host of premier league clubs” to sign him apparently - blimey, if that’s true who were they and what would they have done differently?! https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/city-win-the-race-for-adelakun/

Big fish thrives in small pond, then realises that he is on a par with some of our U23s.

All of a sudden, the only thing he has is a higher wage. 

Does he get his head down, ask for a loan, knock on the managers door and ask 'what am I missing?' Or does he go off radar... 

No idea, but clearly a lad with his league experience should be asking more from himself, or if he is unhappy in the west, engineer a move away by some method.

It’ was Scunthorpe - that is the answer to your question.

Another ridiculous signing.

Actually the Opta stats showed that he was the 2nd rated player in League 1 that season, the 1st being Jack Marriott who was being pimped around to the highest bidder by Peterborough and just like Eisa he has the chance to make some progress, if he can't make the step up then the club will move him on with the best of wishes and at a profit.

So hardly a rediculous signing

Another one for the future who  did not cut  it.

Exactly. That’s all it is. Don’t see how it was a ridiculous signing, it was just one that didn’t work out. But let’s remind ourselves we were saying the same about Taylor Moore 12 months ago.

Leeds was his first game for us wasn’t it? Thrown into the starting line-up after several months out. 

Even the Ipswich game people mention was the game after Leeds & he still obviously wasn’t match sharp.

I still think there’s a good player there & will end up doing well in this league.

Is he injured or did he go out on loan?

Seem to recall we signed him from Scunny, he got injured pre season and then vanished off the face of the earth.

Just wondering what became of

He's not anywhere near championship level simple as that..

Another injured player thrown straight in and struggled. Some things never change.

This could be very good for us, he had very good numbers in League 1 before joining us and was hampered by injury. Rotherham are absolutely flying at the moment and you would hope that playing for them would have him playing with some confidence. We perhaps made a mistake with not letting Eisa leave on loan to see what he is made of, and it seems we have learnt from our mistakes in that regard. None of us have actually seen Adelakuun play much because he has never had a chance, and perhaps was never ready either. It could well be that he absolutely tears it up in L1 and helps them win promotion, which would in turn heighten his value and possibly lead to a champ loan or sale next season. Or just as much chance that it will show that he has a future here.
