All the goals Clarke scored in the Championship promotion season during 18/19 were from open play. The following season was spent in the Premier League where he hardly featured, but I'm sure you understand that was to be expected. Akinde hasn't scored many "from all areas" over the past 4 seasons, he's only managed just over 5 from open play and the rest penalties. I'm sure even you would admit an average of just over 5 goals from open play over four seasons isn't good enough. I'd be disappointed with that average if I was a defender. For the record, In an ideal world for me neither Clarke or Akinde would be signed. Haha all 6 of them? Akinde has scored from all areas - 13 pens, 11 right-footed shots, 3 left-footed shots and 3 headers. What other areas are there to score from? His hands? I don't really get your logic - you complain Akinde doesn't score enough goals from open play, but he's scored more goals from open play than Clarke has scored in the past 3 years, is clearly fitter and younger. He's also scored more headers, left footed shots, right footed shots and penalties. On top of that, Leon Clarke was rejected by Gloucester City and couldn't even get into L1 Shrewsbury, whilst Akinde played 44 games last season... If you don't like/want Akinde, that's fair enough - but to then argue that Leon Clarke would be a good signing is absolute madness, based on your logic. Btw, can you show me the figure of his apparent 5 open play goals? I'm not sure where you've pulled that figure from. I don't really want either Akinde or Clarke. Akinde's record over the past four seasons 17/18 - 5 goals in League Two that weren't penalties www.transfermarkt.co.uk/john-akinde/alletore/spieler/69749/plus/0?saison=2017&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=GB4&pos=&minute=&pos=&torart=&stand=18/19 - 6 goals in League Two that weren't penalties www.transfermarkt.co.uk/john-akinde/alletore/spieler/69749/plus/0?saison=2018&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=GB4&pos=&minute=&pos=&torart=&stand=19/20 - 5 goals in League One that weren't penalties www.transfermarkt.co.uk/john-akinde/alletore/spieler/69749/plus/0?saison=2019&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=GB3&pos=&minute=&pos=&torart=&stand=20/21 - 4 goals in League One that weren't penalties www.transfermarkt.co.uk/john-akinde/alletore/spieler/69749/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=GB3&pos=&minute=&pos=&torart=&stand=

I agree that neither are the best options, but still don’t understand your comments if Clarke could still do a job for us, but Akinde couldn’t.

As I said, I don't want either of them. We should try and push the boat out and convince someone like Norwood to join the potential promotion push. Or try and tempt the (longshot I know) free agents Rudy Gestede or Nick Blackman with a decent offer.

Whatever we've a LB, LWB, LW, on the right side we have got just Hoole and Rodman plus Thomas. How many times shall I mention that Anderson is a RWB before you include him as a right sided option? How many times as JB played Anderson as RB? He's even played Kilgour at RB ahead of Anderson.

Why don't you rate Akinde, is it because he's ex City or another reason as I doubt the strikers you have listed have got a better scoring record in recent seasons? Although scoring goals isn't the be all and end all of a decent CF anyway,

Although scoring goals isn't the be all and end all of a decent CF anyway, Topper -- I've read quite a lot of posts of yours over the years and I've come to the conclusion you really are an argumentative person. Your the sort of person that would cause a fight in a pub if only you were in there.
