Chuba signs on

[r00fie1]

Not sure if that's tongue in cheek mate but Canning is in the East End docks type area. Reminds me a lot of over the border in Boro.

Yes.
I saw the ITV video - a bit of a "fighter": believes in his roots, which gives him drive, rather than a desire for riches.
I like the sound of him.
Canning brings to mind an image between a slaggy island and haverton hill

Canning Town was a rough area of the London borough of Newham, lots of racism in his day

I start singing 'I get knocked down, but I get up again'

I couldn't sing that because of a season ticket tale of old. Always loved Chumbawumba mind.

As regards Canning Town I occasionally drank in the Jubilee Tavern down there. Properly rough.

Can we call him Tubby?

How about Roy?
As is in Roy "Chuba" Akpom?

 

[Capybara]

Akpom, Akpom, Chuba Akpom ..

 

[Tomato Soup]

Another decent addition.

Let's hope he is the boisterous annoying lunk that we are crying out for up front, who can hold the ball up.

Nice one.

Like the sound of him actually, fair play to a young English player from an elite academy who gets let go from a big club after years shunting around on loan and doesn't just sign for Sunderland and phone it in.

Takes balls to go to a totally different league and prove yourself. Especially somewhere out of the box like Greece, more and more are going the Bundesliga route since Sancho or Serie A, like Inter Milan's Man United tribute act.

We have been linked with Moore and Sonogo and every other 'unit' available.

He's clearly not that type. It's surprising because even a kid from someone's academy won't be a big target man. Think we need one as plan B option.

Akpom, Akpom, your our sex bomb,
Score a goal and turn us on!
