Chuba Akpom

Can he play left back?

Fox can't and he gets a game....

 

[RRRREDUN]

0 goals for Cov and Brentford when on loan there... not good enough for Nottingham Forest

But good enough for Arsenal. Perhaps we should have stuck with Lars.

 

[Larry Lansbury]

Really annoys me these young prem players have so much choice about where they go and what they do, for 7 frickin games, at that age they should just be told by their manager where they're going as he'll know what's best for them and if Wenger thinks Forest is best then that should be the end of it.

Very pleased he has chosen forest but I agree, you'd think he was signing a 5 year contract not coming for 7 games. I might of missed something but why has he not been out on loan till now.

Akpom akpom Chuba akpom
Will he score some goals now he's come to Nottingham?

 

[JohnnyCarey]

I think this is more important than just the impact Akpom may or may not make over 7 games. Being able to operate effectively in the loan market is going to be crucial for us next year. Getting him in a tough competition with other clubs will both reassure DF that he can do that and send out a message that we are an attractive place to send players to. If the guy scores some goals, so much the better.

He wears gloves. Tut.

Welcome to the main boards, Chuba.

 

[Cortez the Killer]

Missing out on the playoffs won't feel quite as bad if Akpom does well. We'll have a glimmer of hope for loaning him again next year.

 

[nffc13]

Let's be realistic.

If he does well, he'll be ending up on a Prem loan next season, and we still won't have gone up.

If he does badly it's one in a long line of disastrous loans, and a real waste of time and money in our situation, when we could've been blooding our youngsters.

We're chasing a dream that isn't there to be chased this season.

 

[Cortez the Killer]

I don't see Wenger loaning him to another PL team if he does well.

Or we're laying the groundwork for signing him next year? I highly doubt him playing well for 7 games will guarantee him going to the prem. didn't happen like that for Bamford. With an embargo loans are our only option so may as well try get the best loans available and create links with teams like arsenal!

It's rare though that a player goes back to the same club, eg bamford, was at derby and then went to boro. Prem clubs like them to get experience at different places, we'd be very lucky to get him next year as well, probably wouldn't happen.

He wasn't as good at derby than at boro, that played a part in why he didn't go back to derby. Probably

If we play him for all 7 games and he plays well, we will sign him next season on loan.

 

[Anatoli]

I think he will definitely score a hat-trick in every game and get us promoted to the Premiership from which we will win the League and then the Champions League two years running. Just as long as he is as good as the eight year old we signed from Swansea.

 

[jerellis1]

Ten games lads. Not seven. Ten.

 

[Ravi]

I had a dream that he scored ten in seven.

I think seven in ten would be preferable!

The dream ended before the play off semi final.

 

[esseyno1]

Branford didn't go back to Derby as he would definitely of played second fiddle to Martin. Boro have mainly utilised him as a striker. End of story.

 

[esseyno1]

Haha f***ing predictive text!! Bamford is who I meant

 

[Worsley Red]

If we were 6 points better off, I'd be licking my lips.
As it is, I'm struggling to get excited.
Improve our chance of picking him up next year? Possibly. But as someone else said, he might be looking at a PL loan then.
Shame the gap is just that little bit too big for us to bridge.

Saw this on Facebook + quite liked it:

Tom Jones sex bomb - Akpom akpom, chuuuuba akpom, you could of gone to derby but then forest came along
