Adelakun

[Filo]

He’s not Cup Tied either

he is played for Cheltenham in round two I believe against Burton

Apologies he did play in round 2, but against Buxton

[dickos1]

Available for the vertu though

[In the box]

According to DFP we are in advance talks to get Hakeeb back. I’m conflicted on this, the lads got talent but us a bit of a show pony. He rejected us previously but the question is; does he have the battling qualities needed to get us out of our current position? My answer is probably not but Grant is an admirer and he’s the manager.

There's clear a problem him , he’s a decent player at league 2 level , I doubt he would do much for us against teams who pressure continually and he has to defend for long periods . But ….

[Silkscarf]

Great news if true. He’s the sort of player that you expect something exciting is going to happen whenever he gets the ball. That’s why we watch football.

[Reg of the Rovers]

I think he'd be a great signing, best player on the park (with Fornah) when we played Salford away, and regularly see his name pop up in the goals. He'll give us more spark that we've got and will chip in with goals.

I'd like to see us thinking plan B for formation as well this window 4-3-3 / 4-5-1 is all well and good when it works, and another quality wide man like Hak's can't hurt - but a proper number 9 / 10 and a solid rock in the middle, plus League 1 centre half should be absolute priorities.

For the people who keep suggesting Ryan One he  has joined the Millers over the weekend.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I thought One could be a good option so pity he's gone to Millers.

[Bessie Red]

For the people who keep suggesting Ryan One he  has joined the Millers over the weekend.

Nothing on social media or Rotherham Sheff U websites suggesting this, are you "in the know"?

[Canadian Rover]

If Hakeeb comes in I'd like to see it on a 18 month or longer term contract, enough of this short termism.

[DearneValleyRover]

I can’t see that on any done deals site, not doubting you just haven’t seen it reported yet.

He’s been offered that in the past but won’t sign one.

[ncRover]

A few people online thinking Haks will play through the middle, no chance, not for a McCann team. Not physical or aggressive enough.

Think Middleton will become the Molyneux back up on the right side mainly (he can play there) while Adelakun will slot in to his left wing position he had last time.

[Alan Southstand]

He’s not the No9 we need, but he’s a very good attacking option because he gives us a goal threat. It gives opposition teams a duel problem. Presently, they only need to keep Mols quiet!

No9 is the absolute priority in GM’s system - Hanlan is not it.

I doubt he’s at the same performance level he was at two seasons ago . Why did Salford move him on ? Why have Chelmsford only got him on an interim contract ? We ate clearly not prepared to go all in for a striker and have chosen to revert to previous solution. Fingers crossed if he is signs a 6 months contract more probably, that he has the same effect as last time !!

[roversdude]

Salford wanted to keep him, think Cheltenham just needed to get him in as a free agent probably so he could be in the shop window up to the transfer window opening. Reading that Cotterill would have loved to keep him

So what you're saying is the doom monger in chief is talking out his arse again?

Salford didn't move him on, he wanted a short term contract and told them he was leaving.

Regarding Cheltenham (not Chelmsford), he joined them till January to keep fit and until he could find a better offer.

[In the box]

He has been a nomad player through his career and at 30yrs he’s hasn’t got many years left . An exciting player when motivated , but I doubt he has long term in anything . What sort wages does he expect when his obvious approach to the clubs he’s played for are nearly all short term ? It must be based on signing on fees to supplement his earnings . Id pay him by the goal or assist.

[danumdon]

Adelakun is the type of player that this side is crying out for, if we remember last time he was here his efforts and endeavour managed to get the whole side playing at an increased pace, tempo and intensity, he also took a massive load of the shoulders of Mols and others around him who played with freedom and intelligence with the spotlight taken off them.

If he can achieve somewhere near the level of performance we managed out of him last time then it should enable us to kickstart the rest of our season, i don't see where this is not possible, so a positive for all concerned.

Would love to see this one over the line.

I couldn’t possibly say lol

[Upton Rover]

Wouldn't entertain hin

[Bills view]

He’s certainly the type of player that could have an impact running beyond the striker.

Do we think he will be as effective (compared to his previous spell with us and at Salford and Cheltenham) at league one level though?

[RugbyRover]

Says a lot about our scouting and recruitment team that we have to go back to him.

[Barmby Rover]

He is a winger, so we get rid of Middleton? Molyneux? Gibson? I would rather have Mols and Middleton playing out of those 4. We need a goal scorer, not another winger.

[roversdude]

Don’t see it like that - we wanted him initially, enough to offer a contract

[Petche]

I know he initially did well for us previously but can't help but feel underwhelmed by his possible return. We've got players in similar positions who have been creating chances, putting them away is the issue!

[Spilsby Red]

TLT coming back hasn’t worked.

[dickos1]

Some crazy comments on here!
He was outstanding for us last time, a massive reason why our season transformed like it did.
Would be a great signing for us

[Spilsby Red]

Not saying it wouldn’t. But just pointing out about TLT coming back hasn’t been as good as his first loan

[In the box]

McCann is panicking now that he’s signed his son and can’t loose his job without first sorting out the mistakes he’s already made by approaching the only striker he knows that available!!
