Chuba Akpom signs on loan until the end of the season

[dazzer6666]

apart from seeing Akpom shortly when Brighton played at Hull. I previously saw him play for England u19 scoring 2 I think in the 3.1 win over Demnark at Doncaster's Keepmoat stadium. He looked very good that night. John Stones, and John Lumsden are the only other names I remember playing that night. cant find line up from game now feb 5th 2013

I agree but their swapping in and out of the team has not appear to have been consistent with their performances... play a good game and still dropped.. it is the nature of teams these days

Hmmm, not sure if I agree. Out of those quoted I'm not sure any have put back to back good performances together........... though I may be being harsh on Sidwell of those mentioned.

Dier, Ward-Prowse, Stones, Pickford, Redmond.. Some decent names that night. And Akpom got my MotM.

Sidwell was playing well then taken out . others have had a good game but not picked the next game...

Pritchard never got as far as having a medical.

Did a u-turn on the M25 en-route to have it. to head for Norwich.

There's a risky manoevre if ever there was one.

No announcement so can anybody state categorically that it is still likely to happen or not. or what is happening

Yes, but anyone who can won't be prepared to.

Usually somebody has seen something on twitter or heard a whisper.

But the whispers and stuff on twitter aren't reliable. You could easily have one poster hear saying they've heard it definitely isn't happening, while another says it categorically is.

Given that even genuine attempted signings (like Pratchard) can fall through, I'd wait until it's official.

It isn't just on Twitter though. It's in the Argus and national papers. That's not whispers.

I'm. It sure why I think this but if he comes in I think we may also be looking at another striker....

Just heard this evening from a friend that Akpom is having a medical right now Not sure how reliable this is. He was adamant, but refused to tell me his source. (I'm sure there is a New Romantic joke in there somewhere).

Over the moon if true

Didn't someone say it was reported on sky too?

Sky said this morning that he was having a medical then.

Sounds promising then...

Strange article. You'd think that as Steve Bruce worked closely with Akpom as his manager last season and wanted to re-sign him, that he would think he was a decent player who could do a job for them!

City are willing to let Iheanacho go on loan, would be far better IMO.

 

[Triggaaar]

So you can categorically tell us whether this will happen or not then?

The match report for the U23s match is now done, the club media can turn their attention to announcing any signings.
