Chuba Akpom signs on loan until the end of the season

[Thunder Bolt]

Wasn't it the Mirror that reported Stockdale to Chelsea as well ?

Yes, but the wording is completely different. The Stockdale article says, 'interest' and 'could look at' which doesn't indicate a deal being agreed, or finalised, which the Akpom report does.

I have no idea if he is any good or not.

I'd like to think so, being at Arsenal, fingers crossed...

I watched Arsenal reserves take Southampton apart last saturday - 0-5. He wasn't playing, though, because they had such people returning from injury or on the fringe of the first team as Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain!!

I remember him coming on as a sub at the Amex for Arsenal....looked decent that day

Horrendous attitude at hull and brentford aparantly reading through their forums. In saying that the kid has undoubtable talent.worth a pop off the bench. Let's just hope he's not another jay Simpson for frimpong...

Looks OK and to be fair the ones that look great on these clips normally turn out to be shit....he's got great composure and a brain it seems as well as pace.

 

[Shins]

Good option to have if he signs. Played lots of games at this level, not many goals but someone else mentioned he often played on the wing in a dull Hull team. He had an excellent pre season with Arsenal if I remember correctly and if they didn't rate him highly he would have gone on loan in the summer.

Would be pleased if it happens, great cover for Baldock.

The first TWENTY in the list must be unavailable if we are SINGING Chubby

 

[wolfie]

He'll have some making up to do with Lewis Dunk !

 

[HastingsSeagull]

England Under 21/23's striker with some experience of first team football around our level. Done.

Looked decent the couple times saw him but not very recent. Hull mate says he wasn't played as a proper striker, also decent but nothing special. Fingers crossed he will come on when used correctly

Given Bruce wanted him back at Villa probably indicates he brings a load to the team other than goalscoring. Sounds exactly like Baldock. Job done for me.

 

[heathgate]

69 appearances for 5 different clubs,... he only scored 7, all for Hull in 2015/16

 

[spring hall convert]

Strikes me that he wouldn't have been first on our list of targets but I'm not disappointed. I think he's more than capable of filing in for Baldock, as well as offering a bit more depth in wide attacking positions.

How exciting
All this following celebs and footballers etc it's just tedious

 

[Nixonator]

Doesn't exactly strengthen us, just an extra body.

Feels like this one was way down on the list but better than nothing.

This. Graham Courtney who is TS's reporter up there, said the same thing the other week, with HFC wanting him out and gone.
