cityfan Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Simple question. Would you start him with AN other when he returns from Brentford? I of course, voted yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderSomerset Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 If we are going to start with a lump up front, then yes. He has to be a better option than Aygemang. Personally, I would prefer to see Clarkson and Maynard given a run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I would have liked another option, something along the lines of: *Give him 30 minutes (whatever the score) in every game. I think next season could be his year. BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herman Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 what do you mean 'when he returns'? johnson will call him back then ship him out somewhere else on loan and sign some 34 year old journeyman from the conference on 10,000 a week to play in his place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 For my own curiosities sake I would say yes but I don't think fans curiosity is a good enough reason to play any player. I would hate for him to come in and be ripped to peace's by the AG crowd after an easy miss. I would expect if he was brought in and played for 3 games and didn't score there would be loads of people on here saying he wasn't good enough and why does GJ keep playing him instead of X Y or Z. The snippets I have seen of him haven't shown me that that he is any better (or worse) than Agy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snippets I have seen of him haven't shown me that that he is any better (or worse) than Agy. The point is he hasn't really had a chance to show if he is or isn't better than AGY who has probably played more minutes in three games than what Akinde has since he has been here, by the way from what i have seen of Akinde he seems very raw and i wouldn't chuck him in for 90 mins but bring him on for 20 30 mins if we are winning comfertably() or when we need someone to affect the game as he has done several times imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 From the horses mouth, he's not a 90 minute Championship player. He's only good enough at this stage of his career to come off the bench. MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanhamreds Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I would have him back now but on the bench, I would not start with him as I believe that would be too much pressure for his young shoulders to take, I would not have signed Ageymang either.

Riaz Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 My opinion is that he should be in front of saborio. I'm reserving judgement on agyemang, but if he carries on playing like a donkey, then Akinde should be in front of him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFree Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Bloke in work is a Brentford fan and watched him on Saturday. Said he was clearly not match fit I would play him - he has something that not many City players have at the moment - a despairation to be wearing the City shirt and the ability to give 100% and put himself about at all times...he has desire. Once fit, bring him back and give him a go - he has always made a difference previously, what have we to lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rag Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Saborio and Ageymang have made little impact, neither exactly get you off your seat, but Akinde always seems to run at the defence and clearly causes panic on occasions. That alone would suggest he deserves at least a run out from the bench. If he was to get a 3 or 4 game start like the others, who knows what may happen? Surely can not be any less effective than the previous players to be given that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely can not be any less effective than the previous players to be given that role. Precisely. From what I've seen Saborio, he is not as good as Akinde - nowhere near I'd say. Agyemang does not look like he is either (so far) Cant understand how saborio is in front of Akinde - very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunley Legend Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 At the VERY LEAST Big John should be given a place in the squad and be getting twenty minutes here, half an hour there and the odd start thrown in. This lad potentially represents the future of the club - not a label you can throw at Patrick Agyemang!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenric Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Shouldn't have been allowed to leave. Shouldn't have been replaced by agemoan. Should be given a run in the side as opposed to being mucked about, same could be said of Haynes and Clarkson though too. simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityfan Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Well let me just add as the person who started this post, Saborio has been taken off at half time - He has now had more chances than Trundle and Trundle was different class, even if he didn't fit in to our style of play here. The thing is, Akinde will, as he has the versatility of being the big centre forward, but also he is the fast, good touch, sleek striker that can play football too. Saborio doesn't offer these qualities and whilst I agree it is too early to decide on Agyemang, I would have tried Akinde first. It feels to me that the Akinde situation is just like the Lita situation many years ago. Lita was ready, but was ignored. I think Akinde is ready, but.............................. He would definitely start in my team, especially in the form we are in now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityfan Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Guaranteed to come back now. Striker order will be something like Maynard Haynes Akinde/Clarkson Agyemang Saborio - be surprised if he starts again, let alone comes off the bench And Akinde is bound to come off the bench when he does come back because we will be throwing the kitchen sink at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I'll defend Saborio a bit. He may have been taken off at half time but he was injured and I can't remember many times when he was even given the ball last night it was that bad by everyone in the first half. As I've said before given time I think he would come good but he won't get it. As for Akinde he definately deserves a chance, especially infront of the useless Aygemang.
