Wouldn't expect our last offer, and went away laughing, no thanks

People in “real life” often go back to old
Jobs….leave it out of he does the job then let’s have him back

To much of gamble . We’re not looking for a hero or a prima Donna just a hardworking centre forward who wants score goals and will lift us out of this sorry place in the league .,

  He did well for us the first time around, did well at Salford as a player and was their best player on the field against us at Salford even though we won he had a good game now at Cheltenham he is doing well.
 Not every footballer is great off the field  and are a mixture of characters, and he certainly seems to not care so much for the clubs he has played for, but we need performers and he is as good as we will get with a good chance of doing well.
  It's football not a personality and beauty parade and we need good players of a known quality and that is what a manager has to judge and the one who takes the hammer if it doesn't work out, so needs who he can trust, to sign him twice basically both times when we were in trouble, he trust's him, and that's good enough for me.

This will be the third time McCann has signed him.
He signed him at Hull on loan in 20/21 - the season they finished League One champions. Had him for the first half of the season.

surely a player who comes in and scores goals ‘to lift us out of this sorry place in the league’ would actually be a hero!!  If he can do that i dont mind if hes a prima donna on the side

[MachoMadness]

He might be an odd duck off the field but not sure where this reputation of being a show pony comes from. It can't be from watching him in his loan spell with us, where he ran himself into the ground every game, even during his Ramadan fasts.

He knows how McCann plays and most of the key players will know how he plays as well. I doubt he'll recreate the form of his first spell but I'm sure it won't be for lack of effort.

Ramadan 2026 is from the of 17th of February until the 18th of March. Now did I google that or will I be taking part myself  ?

[PDX_Rover]

It's disappointing to think that since early November, we've been stuck around 18th or 19th in the table and have now dropped to 23rd. I expected Grant to be more proactive by now, bringing in better options—especially after all this time. Instead, we end up with a player who was unrequired elsewhere and free to train with us and another who's been signed and just goes back out.

While some might feel optimistic about the recent signings, I'm left feeling unimpressed, especially knowing we're deep in the relegation zone. Where's the drive from the players so far to avoid our current league place?

It's time Rovers were not always in this rollercoaster situation every year. The fans deserve better.

We’re five days into January. Do you not think the management have options at various stages?

[PDX_Rover]

Well. Haks flourished under McCann last time out. Maybe he knows how to manage him?

I hope no British professional footballer will be taking part in that archaic, anti scientific remnant of Pagan Moon worship.

Not  good to go without liquid whilst involved in strenuous exercise.
Food fasting, as I  go through for periods occasionally of 24/36 hours, bringing in  something called autophagy that repairs the body, has benefits,  though I never go without  sufficient liquid, nor do I make a public display of fasting for  a very limited amount of time and then gorging myself on crap, especially sweet  food as a reward for doing nothing.

The Christians, though I myself have no need to indulge in the fantasy beliefs of sky fairies at least do give up something,  for long periods over Lent,  something that involves commitment over a long period and not  ended with gluttony and gorging like  pigs just because the Moon has appeared.

Adelakun has a few months to prove he still has desire to do what's necessary to thrive in this division so hopefully that's his target set by Grant,.
Please,  no announcement that he's  joining and already has an 18 month  contract

Wow! Just wow! Whatever I think about Adelakun rejoining, it has nothing to do with his religion! I’m agnostic/atheist but believe humans can make their own decisions on what they want to believe. To just dismiss the views of the majority of the human race, I have no words, just wow!!

Let's just say it's probably a done deal and whether we like him or not he is coming back and hopefully he will help get us out of the drop zone which is all that matters right now.

[roversdude]

Do we think this is a goer or just rumours

I was starting to think the same thing.
Expected this to be announced early on Monday. Maybe another club has complicated things?

He’s not worth all the effort by playing to his ego . This nomad of a player is L2 at very best and will not do us any favours … he’s only interested in the money !!

I was told it was a done deal. I can imagine his agent wont be easy to deal with though.

[Draytonian III]

His agent is his brother

[Reg of the Rovers]

His agent is his brother

His sister is his mother?

Maybe a better signing for Barnsley in that case.

[In the box]

That could explain his career in an nut shell .. signing on fees .. tell them both to for forth and multiply !!

Why on Earth choose a football forum to announce that you're an atheist?

No-one's interested.
