and Kyle Ebecilio.
I do fondly remember him being so bad, that after being introduced as a substitute, he was then hooked himself because he was absolute garbage.

To be fair, for the right deal I wouldn’t turn my nose up at it. He was phenomenal in the season at boro but there is a lot more evidence to say it was a one off.

What did Carrick do with him? Play him off a front man or something? Either way if we sign him we have to play him in exactly the same way
Yes. Carrick had him playing off the front man and he was in his element. The lone striker role doesn't suit him in my opinion.

Carrick saw that. But anyway, sounds like the deal is not on and everyone can relax that Akpom v. 2015 won't be arriving :LOL:

Sometimes rubbish players can have that one wonder season where they look like world beaters, only to revert to being awful again afterwards.

Martyn Waghorn is another example. Had a similarly brilliant season at Ipswich one year, which then prompted Derby to spend a fortune on him.
I did say that there is more evidence to say it was a one off

Ajax clearly aren’t that stupid, then.

Oh f*** - we did have him??! Saw his name in the Sels thread earlier (cock up allowed him to score in his Geordie days apparently) and thought we might have had him at one point.
Yeah he came here on loan from Villa I think.

He was wank.

There's a good reason for that.

And it's the same reason why you can't remember much of Aaron Tshibola, Lica and Kyle Ebecilio.
It was 9-years ago and much of our Championship/League One period has drifted to the back of my memory, but fair point nontheless.

Just out of interest however, are you aware if any of those others you mention have made any sort of positive impact elsewhere since in the way that this lad has, albeit only quite recently?

Thank f*** for that.

Bad news is it still gives us time to try to get Jamie Vardy.
Forest are more likely to sign Rebekah Vardy.

No they've all been absolutely toss wherever they've gone. I think Ebecillio has ended up in Cypriot 2nd tier last time I heard his name.
