Gills new signings

[LancsGordoRoad]

Central defender ?

 

[PuB]

Hopefully
They did this last week and nothing was announced

Oh really? I must have missed that one, fingers crossed this time then.

 

[LancsGordoRoad]

True this time

 

[Lark]

Hopefully it’s 5 new players being announced at once!

 

[Vambogills]

Quality over quantity. No compromises to satisfy us panicky fans.

Haks Adelakun 6`3" Forward from Lincoln. Loan.

Hakeeb Adeola Abiola Ayinde O. O. J. Adelakun to give him his full name (according to Wikipedia)

In true Homer Simpson style, I wonder what the "J" stands for.

Winger according to Lincoln

Looks to be match-ready and promising. Played 2 x L1 games for Lincoln already this season.

From Harris's comments, seems this was one of the long-term targets:

"Hakeeb is a player I have chased all summer, we had to be patient due to him starting the first two league games at Lincoln."

 

[Vambogills]

Harris comments say he's been after him for a quite while and he arrives having completed a full pre season.
Here is where he turns into a 20 a season goal machine!

I wonder why he's surplus to requirements at Lincoln?

Mate at work is a Scunny fan (poor sod), 130+ appearances for them

"Hakeeeeeeb!

Damn! One of my favourite players when he was at Scunny, fast exciting attacking if you ask me."

An impressive signing in my book.

Some interesting comments on this announcement from Imps fans.

Lend it to WX when you finish reading it, would you?

Sounds promising. I would be interested to know what call back options there are, if any, as seems like the guy isn't too far off of their first team.

Standard re-call I’d have thought which can only happen in the January window.

Interesting that he’s a winger as I was expecting another forward or centre back (especially if Ehmer is injured), although it would free Kashket up to play in a front two with Mandron. Sounds promising, welcome Hakeeb.

More then happy with this, genuine disappointment from the majority of imps on twitter and another player know one linked us with, hopefully a quality addition to follow in defence.

Wasn’t Onoura a winger when we signed him from Mansfield, would be wonderful if he could have a similar impact if deployed as a striker I suspect though he might just operate out wide.
