Title: Akinfenwa - Millwall
Post by: janaage on Thursday, November 15, 2007, 18:06:32
Just signed on a month to month contract.

Fair play to our medical/management staff on the decision not to sign him.  At the time Akinfenwa said he'd be back before November and our advisers said no chance.

Here we are middle of November and he's still not playing first team footie.

Are you trying to say the management team got something right? surely not. must admit wondered when and where he would turn up

He has been recently training with Yeovil and played in 2 reserve games for them, I thought he was on a banker to sign for them TBH.

Same as Ady Williams, november and still not fit, should never have been signed for another year.

I'd say he didn't join Yeovil as it's too far from his London home I would imagine.  Swindon's not too bad, just down the M4 but Yeovil's a treck.

my prediction of ady only playing in the cup games looks nearly dead. i can't see him being fit for the second round tie, if we get to the third round would luggy give him a run out? i doubt it...

Millwall was perfect for him.

a) It's very, very close to his home
b) He links up with old manager Kenny Jackett, the only reason he was playing at Swansea.

Good old Derek  :D

Glad to see the powers that be made the right decision on this one. As for Ady Williams, I'd hardly say it was a waste of a signing because it sounds as though he is very involved in the training...not just sat on his arse collecting wages

Didn't he have one of them contracts that triggered an extra year once he played so many games last season. Like Weston did.
