Title: Akinfenwa Post by: Johno on Friday, June 24, 2005, 10:42:03 man...King is trying to sign him, but probably won't due to torquay wanting 300,000 in compensation! :o thats a joke.
i'll be happy if we don;t sign him, King has also said that there is something in the pipeline which if he pulls off will feel the void left by parkin...next 48 hours according to him to. Title: Akinfenwa Post by: magnum150 on Friday, June 24, 2005, 10:47:31 i bet we get a Sabin a like. Bag of pace and no finish. oh, wait a mo, thats Roberts.
Title: Akinfenwa Post by: le god cuervo on Friday, June 24, 2005, 11:30:21 akinfenwa's crap anyway! you said sabin cant finish but this guy is even worse. he's the poor mans emile heskey. slabber was probably better than him
would rather we got someone like cureton, thorpe or taylor. the only problem with them though is big wages Title: Akinfenwa Post by: magnum150 on Friday, June 24, 2005, 11:45:03 he can't be that bad if he scored 14 league goals in 28 games, 9 as sub. Thats 1 in 2.
Title: Akinfenwa Post by: reeves4england on Friday, June 24, 2005, 11:48:15 I wouldn't mind Akinfenwa, but
a) 300k is an absolute joke b) We CAN do better c) He is basically a greedier version of Rory Fallon Title: Akinfenwa Post by: magnum150 on Friday, June 24, 2005, 12:28:39 His still of play is very Fallon,true but thats not a bad thing in this league if you have a small quick striker to pair them up with.
Title: Akinfenwa Post by: larwood on Friday, June 24, 2005, 13:43:57 300 grand.The worlds gone mad.I mean if all we've got for sam is 400 grand,how the hell can he be worth 300? The shitty wanted him until they found out they would have to pay a fee,the figure i read then was 100 grand ,thats too much as well.
Title: Akinfenwa Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, June 24, 2005, 17:41:58 As I understand the Akinfenwa situation, Torquay are entitled to some sort of fee....which can either be negotiated or go to tribunal.....this is for expenses incurred in developing a young player.....but of course they didn't so its likely a tribunal wouldn't look favourably at their case.
Shitty were only interested in a free, there's no way Torquay could expect more than 50K, so may settle for this in two stages. Title: Akinfenwa Post by: Panda Paws on Friday, June 24, 2005, 18:26:15 Wonder if they'd try and go for Henderson again?
Title: Akinfenwa Post by: kick_ass1987 on Friday, June 24, 2005, 18:27:48 No i doubt it, The gills rate him too higly now, he was their top scorer in the championship so they wont let him go now, they need him to go back up again
Title: Akinfenwa Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, June 24, 2005, 18:28:58 We couldn't afford him before, not sure what his contract situation is, but don't think we could afford him under present wage restraints.

Perhaps - but considering they've offloaded a high wage earner in the past few days, it could be possible. Last time we offered £40k (and performance incentives), which was accepted but HE turned it down over wages. Now Parkin has gone, perhaps he'd be the fella to fill the hole. Title: Akinfenwa Post by: magnum150 on Saturday, June 25, 2005, 11:35:12 By the sound of Bob Holts comments at the time, hendo was asking for SERIOUS amounts of money. I get the feeling he was looking for more than a couple of grand a week.
Title: Akinfenwa Post by: Spud on Saturday, June 25, 2005, 14:15:24 £300k for Akinfenwa!, Torquay are having a giraffe.
Title: Akinfenwa Post by: adje on Saturday, June 25, 2005, 19:04:18 He made our defence look stoopid at the CG last season
Title: Akinfenwa Post by: BrightonRed on Saturday, June 25, 2005, 19:09:59 Quote from: "adje" He made our defence look stoopid at the CG last season To be fair I think I could have made our defence look stupid at times last season.

Our defence has managed to look stupid without anybodys assistance on occasions this year. Title: Akinfenwa Post by: adje on Saturday, June 25, 2005, 20:28:39 Well at least weve got rid of the stupidest of them all!
Title: Akinfenwa Post by: magnum150 on Saturday, June 25, 2005, 20:34:09 Noooooooooooooooo. Hoof ball is the future!

Title: Akinfenwa Post by: unclemark on Saturday, June 25, 2005, 20:38:02 Ifil is good when he is given a man to shadow for the whole game. Heywood is an alright player.
