I'm sorry for not saying more, I know it's a pain when someone posts they know something and doesn't reveal it, but I genuinely wanted to let you all know the calibre of striker we are looking at. It finally feels like good times are round the corner. Up the tics. Well I hope what you say is the truth and something comes of this rumour. However it my experience that anytime someone in the know posts on here about an amazing striker that could be the answer to all our problems....fk all happens!

I look forward to being WOWED (no hint of sarcasm, honestly. I would puff my pants if we signed a genuinely noteworthy striker). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OL9erlatic Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Where has the John Akinde rumour come from? Always seemed strange to me that he's been a very regular goalscorer for a lower tier League 2 team but has never moved on, is it an attitude problem? To me he reeks of the kind of player Peterborough would sign and make a good profit on a year or 2 later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Not heard that one, however, he's had a few loans to league clubs but hasn't made the grade and until the last 2 or 3 seasons his scoring record has been pretty poor. At Barnet he has a 1 in 2 ratio but whether he could replicate that at a higher level is debatable. His form will no doubt have been monitored by several clubs but the fact he's still there speaks volumes. I should imagine they would want a substantial fee and I reckon it would represent too big a big gamble, especially for a club like ourselves.

True story. Gone higher, but not as high as I expected. BP 1960 OWTB Member 17,778 posts Posted February 14, 2008 · I hope Latics are looking at Ebbsfleet's big strapping 18 year old centre forward John Akinde. He's already hit 7 goals since progressing from their youth team the last couple of months and has massive potential, with a good first touch, pace and distribution. Going to go higher no doubt. Let's see him at BP for trials at least. Edited July 9, 2017 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
