Hoping it's the case, just to put the whole thing to bed once and for all, and people could just wish him well.
Would stop some fans from blaming the club and Akpom for something that couldn’t be helped.
I'm sure there'd be some that would still be adamant that it was all faked though.

Clubs continually say their player is injured when the player is not. If you believe what they say you are daft. The only logical position is "I don't know".
Says in this report :
"Chuba Akpom, the new striker transferred from Middlesbrough for a transfer fee of 13.3 millions euros, will not play either against Ludogorets on Thursday because he is still waiting for a work permit."

There's also a big diffeence between being injured and not fit enough to play.

So you're saying there's a chance he could be loaned back to us before the window shuts...

We signed two players from Europe in the same time period, and had them starting 4 days later.
I guess it could just be as simple as they rushed the announcement, whilst we waited until it was virtually sorted to announce Engel and Latte Lath.

Chuba just couldn't bloody resist that artistic Instagram shot on the train could he.

UK rules allow us to sign up to 4 players from abroad without the need to be eligible for a work permit. I believe they can be pushed through pretty quickly.
Not sure what the rules are in the Netherlands, but I suspect they may have to present a case for special dispensation in this case. Either that or they're just ridiculously slow at processing work permit applications. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn't get the work permit and comes back on loan until he can get enough Nigeria caps!

He won the league and cup double at PAOK, scoring the winner in the Greek Cup final.
Only their third League title in their 97 year history, and 7th Cup.
He won't have scored as many as he hoped, but he certainly didn't fail there.
Hopefully he wins a league title and scores plenty for Ajax.

I'm thinking the guy was joking, but yeah. He did well at PAOK. I don't know if he can repeat his goalscoring feat again, but I think he'd fit into the Ajax style of football. He's technically good, clearly fits the total football ethos that the Dutch have, and clearly has an incredible work ethic. Plus I think he has the belief now, which I think he was lacking a bit before. I can't see him allowing himself to fail at Ajax.

So we’re all agreed - he isn’t and wasn’t injured, cool.
