Akpom comes on sub for Ajax in UEFA cup and where do they play him

[davidmills]

Up top in the Archer role
Might as well play him in goal
Sometimes wonder if teams ever watch players before they sign them.

Just commented about this on an older thread.

He came on and they equalised straight away, he’s not had much involvement since.

 

[davidmills]

Sorry missed other thread

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Harold Moukoudi playing for AEK as well, looks like he just asked for Akpom’s shirt at the end of the game there

Ajax losing again, and they're in the relegation zone, Akpom still on the bench.

Clearly major issues at Ajax, it's not down to him.

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Manager will surely be gone soon.

 

[Steer]

5 year contract. I wonder how much we would have to pay to get him back if for some reason we needed new players this summer?

 

[TeaCider]

Brought on in the 90th minute

 

[SuperStu]

Wonder if we could get him on loan in January...

That’s ridiculous

It was always a crazy risk leaving a side where he’d settled given his previous nomadic past

What a terrible move this is turning out to be for the lad
Jeez
He’s obviously coining it in but for a toxic atmosphere in the city ?
I bet it’s tough to leave the house!

I wonder as well....
That would be pretty amazing
Probably unlikely
But as we are currently playing like Brazil he may not be needed...

Probably lives in London with the Family and gets the Eurostar in! (y)

Warnock was right unfortunately

About what exactly?

I don't recall him saying if he goes to a new club the manager will barely play him and when he does it'll be out of position.

I don't see how anyone can judge him on performances given he's barely played. If he has a run of games and is crap then fair enough.

If Akpom had stayed here I'm pretty confident he'd already be on at least 5 goals given the chances we've created. Moving was a big risk from a pure footballing perspective but money talks.
