The Palace Fan Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I'm surprised he only lasted a year at Norwich. How did he get on @Marc? The only time I've really noticed him was when Barnsley got promoted. Lee Johnson was his Manager back then, so I presume this is a case of a player returning to comfortable surroundings. What are you expecting from him @BounceAroundTheGround? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 He was honestly fucking awful, I can’t believe anyone has paid money for him. I don’t think he scored. I never actually worked out what position he plays, is he a winger or a striker? Or neither? He was so bad. When we signed him I was very happy on a free but he was so bad. There must be a player in there somewhere because he did well at Barnsley, but judging him on the time I saw him play for us.. fucking awful. Forget getting good fees for Murphy and Maddison, this is the business of the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Remember us being linked to him last summer. Even for free at the time, I'm glad we avoided him. Fuck knows what Bristol City saw to pay £1m for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BounceAroundTheGround Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 He's flourished under LJ before apparently, hopefully he'll do the same and revive his career here. We're looking at getting another right-winger anyway (Adelakun from Scunthorpe) and we have O'dowda so it's not a big deal if he flops anyway.

He started his career with us Adelakun. A popular lad amongst the academy players but he wasn't one of the better players in the team and came with a lot of baggage off the pitch. I can't remember what he got in trouble for with the authorities, I think it was match fixing, either way I'm very surprised to see he's forged such a good career for himself.

Scunny fans seem to reckon he's matured now. Apparently is still quite inconsistent at L1 level Also think it was his brother who was under investigation for Match fixing, but he definitely had attitude issues in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re thinking of Hakeeb’s (the Scunny player) brother Hakeem. Hakeem was acquitted for match fixing whilst at Whitehawk. Hakeeb has only ever played first-team football for Scunthorpe and wasn’t part of the match-fixing trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise there was two of them. Pretty unimaginative names from the parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
