I think we need to give the lad a break. He's young and there's definitely a player in there. There's no evidence he is being disruptive. If in fact he was I doubt MH would have him even on the bench when we have decent players not even making the match day squad. It's unfortunate that our system doesn't suit the type of striker he is, which limits his game time and will surely see him recalled and sent elsewhere in January. His dad isn't helping but let's not put him down unfairly.

I know I have had my say in this thread but I doubt we are doing anything but helping alienate a decent young player who could well help us to promotion. I know his dad isn't helping but let's give the kid a break and get behind him.

I used to protest myself against foxhunting and hare coursing. However, this young man is 20 years old and should not have to face a kangaroo court as well. I myself made many mistakes in my youth which I reget now. If you never made a mistake when you were younger I would be surprised.

Unsurprisingly his Facebook page seems to have erased some of the more recent events. However the content which was there previously, indicated that he was still actively involved in the activity, after he had been charged. As such he doesn’t seem to have ‘learnt’, and was happy to put out his activity on public media.
I would be surprised if players contracts didn’t have a clause which said that if they had been charged by the Police, that they must notify the club.
Similarly that a club could terminate a Contract if a player were convicted, on the grounds of ‘just cause’. However that would be for Huddersfield.
FIFA states, under Article 14, a contract may be terminated by either party without consequences of any kind (either payment of compensation or imposition of sporting sanctions) where there is ‘just cause’.vladimir, Jayteebee, Wolfysmith and 2 others like this. -

Fantastic signing. Really pleased about this and I'm very excited for the season ahead. We're only at the start of June!
City finally seem to be taking recruitment seriously. The past few years it's like the club would sign anyone who had kicked a ball before, and that the massive crowd would somehow turn them good.
A loan signing this early in the window though? I'm used to our managers explaining how we are waiting on their parent clubs activity and not getting our main targets within the last week of the deadline...Stop hovering to collapse...

I know we all want some experience before the start of the new season, but I'd temper that with this: if it's a choice between starting a young, successful player or a leggy loser like Akpan, I'll take the gamble on the younger player.Onside, Lancashire Bantam, Petrov and 1 other person like this. -

They've immediately put some people's backs up.
Why comment? Can't they just let their lad play? We don't need to know his every emotion, let's hope this is a rarity rather than a rule. Recycled opinions do not help.Kevin1954, NorthernMonkey, WilsdenBantam and 1 other person like this. -

I doubt there is any must play cause it’s just that he stands a better chance of getting a game in this league than the one above

Gone down significantly in my estimations.
We have a sighthound, and we know how loyal they are. They don't rehome well once they've been in a family home as a general rule.
Also, the lad is a substitute through-and-through. He made like 5 starts last season, and couldn't get in Harrogate's team when they weren't even EFL.
He's 20, and while I like the idea of knuckling down and dedicating himself to the sport, this seems a bizarre way to do it.Bumblebee_Tuna, Fools Gold, Tony Wilkinson and 1 other person like this. -

Harratt is an out and out striker not a wide player or a number 10. We play one out and out striker and he ain’t going to replace Cook or Oliver.
