GrahamC Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Joining Hull on loan, shame it isn’t permanent but with his contract up next summer safe to say we have seen the last of him. A disaster of a signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I do wonder with him whether there is some kind of homesickness. Although he’s from Hackney, he spent 6 years at Scunnie and loans are now to Rotherham and Hull, so there’s definitely a geographic pattern. People have guessed that Nagy hasn’t settled. It’s a smaller distance (not Joey Beauchamp small) but I wonder if the same might apply here and that’s why he’s never got going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 He was probably worth taking a chance on considering it was a nominal fee. Small wages too. Some of these signings just won't work out (ie Eisa, Szmodics) and sometimes we'll make a profit as we did on those two. I think overall he was worth taking a chance on at the time. Shame it didn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame it didn't work out. The fee was over £600k! He trained with Oxford at the start of this season & they didn’t pursue their interest, his wages weren’t all that “small” either.. Looked completely out of his depth in his few games to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hull probably can't afford a permanent right now but a loan with a view to a buy would suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the fee was far lower than that actually, for some reason I thought it was >£200k. I retract that point about the value then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No view to buy if he stays the season as his contract will be up, at least we will have saved a portion of his wages though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a tribunal fee wasn't it, I'd be very surprised if a tribunal made us pay that much for an OOC League 1 player. I seem to remember he got a bad injury when he first arrived and then seemed to have always been playing catch up. Shame, I thought he was a good punt when we brought him in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant McCann (Hull manager) is ex-Scunny, and although they wasn’t there at the same time as Hakeeb, McCann’s assistant Cliff Byrne was. 2+2=4....or 5. 18 minutes ago, Monkeh said: It was a tribunal fee that was set between 400 -700k I have it as £600k. We do have a year option too. From my notes (not fact) we eventually settled a fee with Rotherham on 6th March this year rather than go to tribunal.

JoeAman08 Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 It hasn’t worked but these signings are worth it. 600k for a young player who was a top performer in the league below. At worst we sell for 300k or something like that and we take a small hit on wages when he wasn’t on loan. It is a small gamble that a player can make a step up. Throw in the fact we will put a sell on in there and we could make the money back if he finds himself in a good situation in the championship.

I think it was me who posted that on here originally, later found it wasn't him & was an MK Dons player called Asonganyi. Got injured in a pre-season behind closed doors game, then got thrown in to the starting line up away at Leeds once fit (A LJ special) I had high hopes for Adelakun, banged on about him for a few years on here/twitter, shame it didn't work out.

Couldn't see how much. If it was 400k to 700k because of add ons, I can't see many of them being met in his 5 appearances... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Nottingham Forest were also in for him- he clearly had something- nothing at all with us though! Might also add, I don't think we handled his developement the best- but yeah not good enough overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted September 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Bizarrely EFL Hub, a very big Twitter account (11,000 followers) reckons he could be heading over the river to join our South Gloucestershire friends now, not Hull. If true hopefully that is a permanent deal because there is no logic in loaning them any of our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Has a choice of staying local or going to Hull. It will be a loan I believe. Accepted Gas offer, but don't have a clue why we'd decide to help them out. They wanted him in Jan or last summer iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuffle Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Why on earth would we even contemplate helping the Gas. If he goes there and is successful then he will have directly contributed to their points tally. Not one to think about it’s for his own development where that shower are concerned as wish them nothing but failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
