I hope I’m wrong but I expect he will spend half of his contract on the treatment table.Why?The operation he’s just had was the first of his career. One bad injury can’t be a reason not to sign someone He's clearly had issues with injury throughout his career given the sheer number of games that he's missed, though. It's not just about one bad injury but regular smaller injuries.If we get half a season out of him at the level he was performing earlier on, though, that's not bad given his quality.

Quote from: Chris Black come back on March 29, 2024, 08:20:25 amQuote from: GazLaz on March 28, 2024, 08:35:49 pmNo doubt he can play, just his durability that’s in question. Hopefully we get 35+ games out of him next season. He’s 27 and has never once managed 35 league games in a season. Really hope McCann and his team are confident about his physicality. In Wood and Zain we have given contracts to players who are very unlikely to play >60% of the games next season. Interesting call.

Gaz do you still reckon we can find someone better than Adelakun?
He’s played 11 games, scored 6 goals and got 4 assists. That is more goal involvement percentage wise than anyone else in the league. And by a distance.

And by a distance. At that rate, of course he has. He’s over performing at an unsustainable rate though. Hopefully he keeps over performing till we win at Wembley.
He is playing at League Two level. He has spent the vast majority of his career at levels higher than this.

Hopefully he keeps over performing till we win at Wembley. Genuine question - is it a freak, or is it down to other variable factors (management, system etc.)? Some players are suited to a certain way and maybe this is it for him. Surely he is performing at his ability now whereas at previous clubs he wasn’t and hence his numbers were poor. The difficult thing for all players is finding a setting that brings that best from them.
