Breaking News Striker Freddie Ladapo signs from Palace

[SUBBlue]

Freddie to start in place of MAF

Thought MAF had a great game on Saturday, holding the ball up etc, so I wouldn't be so fast to relegate him to the bench if I was Powell.

He did have a great game, but goals win football matches.

From wombles board -

Lucky we've already played (and stuffed) Southend at KM as I'm sure Mr Ladapo would have received a very 'warm' welcome. In many ways it is a compliment that he's pulled out and gone there, as he can't believe he is good enough to get in our starting line up, but he sure as hell will get in Southend's. Onwards and upwards - we have three decent strikers, with Barch, Forrester and Kaja to back them up. I'm sure we'll be fine.

Looks a exciting signing and is only 25. on form look like he knows where the net is. Hope it works out for him and us. Funny that he left the wobbles medical as well. UTB

I think he saw the set up, and knew he'd made a mistake. They don't move into their new ground until 2019.

Goals are what Ladapo has found it hard to come by.
He hasn't exactly been prolific at league level, the 2 seasons he managed double figures was at Grays & Margate.

Let's hope we can get more out of him

The right club with the right tactics will get a good goal return from him.

 

[Chaucer]

I spoke to a Palace fan tonight and he thought wasn’t all that at all. Let’s hope his level somewhere in the middle of Palace and Margate ie League 1!

please see the previous post

Ha ha, I was typing my post as that was being posted

An ambiguous observation, he's had 14 of them so far.
We'll see come season end.

Shrewsbury fans seem very complimentary about him on Twitter. If the wombles had been chasing him for a whole month, there must be something good about him. I'm quite excited about him coming to be honest and at 25, still time for him to improve too.

Welcome home Freddie. Great to see a striker thats comfortable shooting from either foot. If the policy of whipping in the ball from wide positions carries on, hopefully he'll thrive on that. Looking forward to seeing him and that was a brave move walking out of the Don's medical.

Not brave, it was sensible after his agent told him he had already changed his website to Southend United. :winking:

He needs a home. He's 24 but he's really not settled at one club. He was very young at Col Ewe but had a decent loan spell at a struggling Shrews side last year. If he feels at home here this could be a very good signing. He has pace, power and two good feet.

How is that ambiguous?
Let's take John Akinde for example, a striker a lot on here wanted us to try and sign, including me. In the League...He played 105 games total for Bristol City, Wycombe, Brentford, Bristol Rovers, Dagenham, Crawley and Portsmouth, scoring a measly 12 goals. Then he went to Barnet and scored a fantastic 84 in 148 games. I saw a quote somewhere on a feature about his amazing goal scoring record for them in which the manager and Coach at the time both said they set the team up to feed him all the time and play to his strengths.
And that's what I mean about Ladapo.

 

[hockleyeast1964]

Thank god they don't put the players full name on the shirts . Freddie's would cost more than the shirt!

 

[Little Blue Rooster]

Pace, power, two footed....im happy and wish the bloke luck. Inform Macca, Kights, Woody and Cox feeding balls into him I think could be a real threat going forward. Just need that hard work on the training ground which im sure CP will be making sure happens :thumbsup:

 

[Tommy2holes]

Yep. Sounds exactly what we have been missing for sometime.
