Chuba Akpom signs on loan until the end of the season

[Clive Walker]

Particularly from Arsenal .... Gislason, Flatts, Hoyte, O'Cearuill, Barrett ...

Surely being annoyed at being subbed shows a positive attitude towards wanting to play?

He is young and I would guess Houghton is a great man manager/motivator who will get something out of him if he can.

 

[Nixonator]

Exactly. Surprised by some of the 'disappointment' on here.

If we get up, we'll need to reevaluate the entire squad, so this makes good sense to me.

Did not impress me at Hull, pegged him as one of these over-speculated young players that will never make it. Hope i'm wrong, for the next 3 months at least.

 

[Wardy's twin]

they also had a big slump .....

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Last year Boro signed 5 players in this window one being Rhodes. Thy won promotion. Just showing the comparison.

Perhaps their need was greater?

 

[The Merry Prankster]

I'm assuming no one else on our list was gettable.

How many did Burnley, Hull and us sign?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Rest of his stats are decent, good dribbler great passing ability and runs the channels.

Exactly what we need. Very pleased with this. If we sign Keane as well, we'll have done some brilliant business this Jan.

But he is cover for Baldock and is pacey, so fits well.

As I say, if we get up, I wouldn't imagine he'd be high on our shopping list. Hopefully someone like Cairney would though.

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

Pretty happy with this if it comes off

Not too worried about his goal scoring record bearing in mind that we want him to play the Baldock role. The few times I have seen him he has been a handful

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Pleased with that if it happens. Seems like a very sensible signing.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Just seen his strop and launching of the arm band for getting subbed by Hull.

Its a no from me.

Bertie Big balls ?

I'm more than happy if a player is gutted at being subbed.

 

[Wardy's twin]

You are not allowed to say that as he only scored a few goals but the fact that those few goals earned Boro about 6 points is immaterial.

I can't deny he scored goals and games were won but he did not set the league alight, i don't know how many he missed as opposed to scored nor do I know what had happened if who ever he replaced would have scored. £12 million for him....no way.

 

[lawros left foot]

Didn't we also make up an 11 point gap on Boro after he singed for them?

 

[Wiggy Power]

64 rated bronze.......got pace but we need better.

I don't care if he only scores 2 goals if they are both 1-0 wins.

And their points per game went from 2.04 pre 31.1.16 to 1.79 post 31.01.16 - they were lucky they accumulated enough points before the end of January 2016 before they added those 5

 

[The Birdman]

We need to keep our team spirit it worth more than 5 £10 million players on high wages and get out clauses who are just mercenaries.
Yes we do need to buy and loan in sensible.
I trust in TB

 

[BBassic]

As cover for Baldock he's as good a shout as any.

 

[highflyer]

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

At 0.58 he checks his run just enough to avoid being offiside when the pass is made.
So we can aready assume he is an upgrade on Elvis!

I'm happy!
