Lordofthebling Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Sheffield United have agreed a fee with Burnley for striker Ade Akinbiyi.Neil Warnock has been in pursuit of the former Stoke City man for some time, and reportedly had two bids rebuffed prior to this latest development.The initial bid was in the region of £1.25 million, and it is thought that Burnley were holding out for at least another £250,000 on top of that.31-year-old Akinbiyi joined Burnley from Stoke for a fee of £600,000 in February last year, and has scored a total of 134 goals in 435 career appearances.Wow. 1.5 millionish...A great player in the Championship, but is he cut out for the premiership should Sheffield United get there?Age and experience is not on his side...

Rich-TWSC- Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I wouldn't pay £1.75million on a 31 year old who was disappointing in the Premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhyde Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 er none seeming as he's been to about five clubs since he left us.He has actually score 10 goals in a premiership season. Heskey was in the same Leicester team beforehand and didn't manage that. He got picked for England... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
