Weve won 3-1 away from home , 9 points in a week , Afobe is loving it and playing really well I think people get a bit tired of posters being negative about signings when their track record (prior to Stoke) suggests they'd be a good signing. It seemed lazy to write Afobe off without looking beyond one move that went wrong. I can understand why people are highlighting that. As you say though - excellent week of results. Afobe in great form so all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf his record is up and down and I could understand why some , some of whom may not remember him at MK / Wolves (1st spell) may have been underwhelmed especially after the crazy hype over Nketiah For me loans are about attitude as much as ability , especially when players have stumbled in their career , and his interview spoke volumes and for me , put any doubts to bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a natural goalscorer. Then again, I've rated him for years and followed his career since MK Dons so probably am a bit more aware of him and his qualities than most. 3 minutes ago, BobBobSuperBob said: For me loans are about attitude as much as ability , especially when players have stumbled in their career , and his interview spoke volumes and for me , put any doubts to bed Agreed - he speaks really well.

Edge1981 Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 I think my initial reaction to signing Afobe was very wrong. A bit like my reaction to when we signed Wilbraham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A season and a half is a long time in football 3 times the size hahah. Ridiculous. Stoke have had there moment in the limelight.. they are a club massively on a downward spiral.. heading for the third tier in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to think we go after a player and if that doesn't come off we start again from scratch. I know how the window works mate, my point is a highly doubt Afobe was in our top three first choices if we ever had a list anyway I dunno why this is getting discussed about at such length, we’ve won three on the spinner and it’s about 40 degs outside for a bank holiday weekend - much more important things to focus on!!

Yeah I noticed that he'd made a load of changes and made an 18 year old captain. Perhaps not surprising after he called them all out publicly in midweek. Jones seems a nice bloke but totally out of his depth. The fans' ire seems to be directed at the Chief Exec Scholes more than anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Some said that he was a desperation last minute signing, but this ignores everything that has been said about the way City scout players. A lot of time and effort goes into this, and the signing might have been just before the deadline, but he must have been an option for a long time. It was just that the Arsenal geezer who went to Leeds was keeping City hanging on until the day before the deadline. I’m convinced that this is serendipity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a story on here a few years ago about some city fans running into them in Spain about the time they were in Europe. Gave it the full "it could have been you" treatment (which - at the time -although annoying - you could understand) Then they went all Billy Big Balls, did a Charlton and sacked the (hateful nause) that got them up. They have the whiff of League One about them. What a shame. I quite like Nick Hancock too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
