Whereas Stockley, Doidge and Eisa have scored for fun at this level elsewhere.
We turned down bids three times the size we took this time. Chairman thought it was better to keep him, which with hindsight was the wrong call, but only with hindsight.
Trust me, Akinde at Alfreton, then first...
All about opinions, although I'm curious how a Swindon fan has seen enough games involving Akinde, Stockley, Eisa and Doidge to come to that opinion.
Mine is based on seeing Gary Bull, Mark Carter, Dougie Freedman, Sean Devine and Izale McLeod at this level and Akinde stands alongside them...
Seen on your board that you've put that the club only want to give 2 years and he wants 3. Don't understand that at all. If you are going to pay a decent fee for him, why would you want him in the last year of his contract next year? Unless you are offering 2 with an option of a third...
No one is paying £400k for Akinde, as much as I wish they were. Player in last year of contract, summer window, an injury hit season last time out and a team now in the National League. It might come to that with add-ons but then Lincoln would have gained through that.
If Akinde is back to...
But he only scored 7 last season and didn't look the same player as the previous years.
That said, I'm not one who thinks it's cut and dried that his ankle injury has taken the edge off him. It might have, but then a lack of pre-season last year and a further injury that saw him only start his...

It was a good evening. Confirmed that we will be signing another keeper, and there are two we are talking to.
One other player has asked to leave, probably Brindley, although wasn't named. We've already signed a player in his position in anticipation of it happening.
A new contract on the...
Chairman confirmed at a question and answer session tonight that Akinde requested the move so it will almost certainly go through. Good luck to him as he's been a good servant to the club.
I'm convinced some of these pundits drink before and during the game. How Drogba and especially Ferdinand, a defender, can think that is handball is beyond me.
Deliberate handball. So he can choose to a) head the ball away from goal and away from danger or b) chose to head it down onto his...
Lightweight midfielder who doesn't do any part of the game well enough and probably not up to the standard you require. I thought I would be posting this in the confirmed signings thread in the National League forum.
Agreed - It should be a busy 6 weeks ahead.
I've seen the usual moaning about not doing, or announcing business early. If we wait to sign a Lee Cook or Sam Togwell rather than go early and bag a Gavin Mahon, then that'll do for me.
I have to admit, I prefer the season ticket option (even though it is technically more expensive). Presumably you need to remember to cancel the membership otherwise it continues through the summer months, which I know I would forget to do.
Plus it would be sods law that we have a home...
If people thing the Barnet fans on here are a weird bunch, I'd give the Barnet Til I Die Facebook page a wide berth. They're like the cloned version of Stewie from Family Guy.
I'm off to look in the mirror and tell myself that I am worthy. I do deserved to be liked.
That pretty much sums it up for me. I wouldn't have been keeping him, so not disappointed that he's gone, but he can do a solid job. A team going for promotion should be looking at better though.
Loving how this sign off is now being picked up on. He's been doing it for years. It's like when you've liked a band for ages but now everyone else is picking up on them.
Although sometimes it was just a warning to let you know not to leave your wallet alone on a table, as he can't resist the...
