Or will he explode onto the scene Every player in the squad has been slagged off in the close season by one or more "supporters", so might as well start on him before he signs.

Somebody on Twitter who's other half is a Cambridge regular has seen a lot of him and reckons he's not as duff as being suggested, if he's allowed to operate in the box and the wingers feed it to him well and often enough
July 27, 20251 yr Optimistic about Kenny; We seem to have the cash from recent outgoings. He would be that "statement signing", looks like championship standard striker. Hope we can seal the deal?

He clearly didn’t fit the Charlton system but that doesn’t make him a bad player. Assuming he does sign let’s at least give the lad a chance before making judgement. I don’t for a minute thing Schu and Fergal don’t think he can do a job so let’s just wait and see what happens shall we?.
July 27, 20251 yr Don't know a lot about this Ahadme but he scored a lot of headers at cambridge. If he can hold the ball up and play up top by himself I'm happy with a loan. Even if he's third choice.

July 27, 20251 yr If Adahme is top of our list for that third striker and we do indeed sign him it does raise the question as to the length of contract we offer. Tough to be offering 3 or 4 years to a lad we view as a replacement and probably for re-sale should we end up in the Championship. We've seen so often that certain players only thrive in certain systems. You only have to look at SKD when he came to us. This was the frustrating thing about Evatt - signing players and then not using them in the way that suits them. We are a club looking for mobile targetmen. This is all in a market where such footballers are no longer as commonplace as they once were. SKD, Mixu and Nathan Blake would be perfect for this squad. As regards footballers of this level - Tony Philliskirk would be good too.

This......Adahme is only one year into a four year contract and will be on decent Money after moving for 1m Do not see him coming in as third choice Got a awful feeling if we bring in Adahme we wont be bringing Kenny in Edited July 27, 20251 yr by masi 51

Big Dave and Lawrence may as well not be included in the conversation. I know they’ve had minutes recently but they’re not a genuine option for playing in competitive matches. Vic is long term injured, and shit. Nothing to say he’ll be considered again when fit, likely loaned out / moved on. We’ve just plucked Warren from non-league. He might be a genuine option for the 9 role but surely that’s upside this season, would you want him as one of your 3 options? Dalby +2 more for me. Can’t see us going with anything less.

You might be right there but I suppose do we wait till the end of the window and hope we get Kenny and possibly still miss out or give Celtic a take it or leave it offer this week and move on to the Charlton guy ?

Don’t need two others; just a good striker to back up Dalby; if we are bringing in the Charlton lad hopefully it’s just a loan
