Paul33 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Chuba ? Not another salad dodger surely ? Could at least have a Flabby & Chuba strike force !!! Edited January 23, 2017 by Paul33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 not exactly prolific for a forward is he, 40 appearances for hull last year and 7 goals (3 of those were against bury in the cup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Middlesbrough have confirmed they've received two bids for Jordan Rhodes - one from Sheffield Weds but not named the other. We go about our business quietly most of the time so wouldn't be surprised if that other team is us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I saw that Middlesbrough were linked to Bojan yesterday. If they sign him they will really knacker their negotiating position on Rhodes as they will have about 6 strikers on their books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he would want to drop into the Championship but the reported 12m fee for Bojan is a steal. I would love him at Aston Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Quote about Akpom from YT: "Arsenal fans singing his praises obviously havn't watched him while he's been with us (Hull) his temperament has been terrible having had bust ups with Bruce and strops on the pitch. His finishing has been beyond shocking missing several easy chances and failing to challenge the keeper often enough. He doesnt have any real match awareness, even taking chances away from his teammates and certainly never seeing a key pass. He may well make it in the championship but won't make it at arsenal and certainly isn't ready for the Prem 3 in 35 in the championship 4 in 3 against L1 sides in the cup. There's his level." If he's had bust ups with Bruce, why would we be in for him? Just for cover or a bit desperate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
