WolfOfWestStreet Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Has Freeman-like league one stats, but people thought he was rubbish so will wait and see on this one. I cant see how he is any different to eliason/odowda/Patterson/Watkins. Appreciate it's still early but really hope we are working on replacing the 30 odd goals we've just sold. Good luck and welcome chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I understood that Dave, wasn’t having a pop at you, and it bugs me too when people twist stuff to get any sort of controversy they possibly can from any club statement....probably the same people who complain about a perceived ‘lack of communication’ by the club....

It was clearly Hakeeb Adelakun. The fact it didn’t look like Bakinson, and it looked exactly like Adelakun, plus the fact he has been training with us pre-announcement make it pretty obvious.

If 'a host' of PL clubs - according to the writer on the OS - seriously wanted to sign Adelakun I've no doubt he'd have chosen one of them over City. They'd have outbid us with ease and could have offered wages to blow City's contract offer out of the water. LJ's welcoming spiel makes no mention at all of beating off all this PL competition for his signature, it just seems to be a headline and opening paragraph by the media bloke with no obvious foundation. Attention grabbing headline, good PR if you take it at face value, and no doubt, like hosts of others, he has been scouted by top flight clubs, but the way it's presented on the OS is likely to be a huge exaggeration imo. cardiff Hull and forest were all in for him, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did any of them make concrete offers of any sort? The OS shouts that City fought off competition from a host of PL, and Championship, clubs, i.e. Hakeeb chose City above PL clubs. That's clearly hyperbole, probably seen by the club as badly needed positive PR after a week of high profile departures. Nevertheless we're not idiots and don't need that sort of exaggeration to convince us Adelukan looks an exciting signing and the club have done well to get him here.

If the other clubs offered Adelakun a contract then we did 'beat them to the signing' Them not making contact with Scunthorpe means absolutely nothing because they'd only need to after Adelakun agreed terms with someone.

The point is did he, or his agent, have a host of offers from PL clubs which they then decided to reject in favour of City? I think not, but that is the impression given from the article - which people then take as accepted fact for the purpose of future discussions. Let's just leave it that he looks a good signing, potentially very good, we're delighted to welcome him to AG, and leave it at that. No need for the triumphant embellishment for PR purposes, a bit puerile really, and easily seen through by adult fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
