SaintDougie Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Rumours in Perth of Adebayo Akinfenwa being close to signing for St Johnstone - would not want to be an SPL centre back next season! Jebus! That guy makes Tade look like a mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Akinfenwa would be an outstanding signing. Can't see it happening, but not surprised to see a lot of negativity already. I wonder which strikers a lot of posters on here would be expecting us to sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-montrosesaintee Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Akinfenwa would be an outstanding signing. Can't see it happening, but not surprised to see a lot of negativity already. I wonder which strikers a lot of posters on here would be expecting us to sign. speculate to accumulate I think we have suffered slightly this season by having three good forwards that are not definitively strikers, with MacLean for me the best of the three by far. I still don't know what to make of Hasselbaink, and where he fits in. He's not short of talent, that's for sure. May could be the instinctive goalscorer we need, but he could just fail to step up, leaving us short again. I'm glad we have Maclean for another season at least, I'm very glad May has signed up to stay, but I think we still need something else. The Beast could just fit the bill.

Akinfenwa is a League Oneplayer at best, released by Northampton Town, his next step is downwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 A lot of this keague's best players move to league one, and will easily be earning more money than most SPL clubs can afford. Like it or not, League 1/2, Premiership loaners and released/out of contract Scottish players are our market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akinfenwa is a League One player at best, released by Northampton Town, his next step is downwards. Nonsense. Guys like Jason Scotland and Jody Morris were 'outstanding' signings for Saints, in that they 'stood out' prominently from the usual names we, and other teams in the league, were being linked with. Akinfenwa is a player who will attract the interest of 'bigger' clubs than ourselves. And we have been crying out for a natural goalscorer. It was the only thing missing last season. So yes, it would be an outstanding signing. You can't lump absolute impossibilities like Messi and Rhodes into the same bracket. Rhodes would be an 'outstanding' signing for a team like Celtic. Anyway, where has this rumour come from? It's seems like Dylan has just plucked it out of thin air. There is certainly nothing I can find about it elsewhere, including Twitter.

john1962 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I realise that there isn't much happening and the sun has come out but are we saying that we are at a lower level than Northamton Town? Recently we have picked up Maclean and Vine from England. I think that's more the standard we should be looking for. It appears to me that done people are confusing a brick shithouse with someone who has ability. Comedy value isn't the main reason for signing a football player.

One Goran Stanic Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I mentioned akinfenwa on here a couple of years ago. I'm unsure now though. His goal scoring record over the last few years is about 1 in 3, which is better than all of last years forwards. Id like to see us go with may and Maclean next year, and I think Tade can still make an impact upon games, even if his ability is pretty limited. I doubt we would have both Tade and akinfenwa. Can you imagine the 2 of them playing up front together. Frightening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
