The stumbling block is not that we want a fee for Ade it is the fact that Stoke can't pay him the £10k he's on per week now.

He has 2 years left at CPFC and the contract is water tight - worth £1m in total.

If Ade went to Stoke it is far that he asks them to match his wage. Obviously, they can't, hence the problem.

Now rather than release Ade (and have to pay up his contract) i suggest Jordan sits down with Stoke and discusses how much they would be willing to pay.

If they could offer him a 3 year deal on say £6k per week Ade might be prepared to go if we say gave him 200K upfront to go.

If, as will prbably happen Stoke wait until he is released by CPFC then i suspect it will cost us over £500k - a shocking amount of money.

CPFC have never asked for a transfer fee for Ade and know its not worth even trying.

I'm confused! When we first bought AA he played about 25-30 games and scored 3 goals.

Surely this is what you'd call "a run in the side".

I never boo a player during a game. It's wrong. It's also very negative.

However, he's had his chance at Palace. And failed. SK is right.

AA should go.

... what

I dont care why or how he goes lets jus get rid of him! As long as he is in the squad it makes us look a laughing stock, he will probably find form and score 15+ goals and we will be even more ridiculed.
As for his wages, will somebody tell whoever braids his head that
I am not afraid to jus f***in waste the lead on my pencil to write some s*** this simple so listen closely as I break it down to proceed this old g's about to get smoked like raw weed.

Can people stop posting without having a clue about the facts? 25-30 games?? Let's clear this one up, here are the facts:

In his entire time at Palace Ade has made 11 starts and he has scored 3 goals.

No, this does not constitute a run in the side, especially when you consider he's had a very serious injury in the middle. I simply don't understand how anyone can claim Ade has had a "fair crack at the whip" at our club.

If you think that we should sell a player we paid 2.5m for, after only 11 starts, then you're more of an idiot that I realised. Even if SK does believe that AA's "style" isn't right for him, it's still appalling management to go round lambasting him in public. How on earth does he plan to offload him now when the whole world knows we don't want him??

All the confidence in the world, all the confidence in the world!

You are fine one to talk about giving some respect when you're on here calling people here idiots and stupid for not agreeing with you!

Practice what you preach pecker!

The bloke looks toilet - simple! He doesn't look able to control the ball or do anything even remotely useful with it. The reason he got on well at Stoke is because they're a sh*t club who's expectation aren't very high - perfect fit for him really as that about sums him up too!

It's not to much to ask in the diviosn when you've spent that much on a player for him to at least show signs of being useful but he hasn't to a lot of us...FACT!

He never asked to be transfered for all these millions but he hasn't done badly out of it at the end of the day has he, so why should we feel sorry for him!

I'm sure he would play for £5k a week. But if you're on £10k a week why seek negotiations to cut your wages? That's surely the responsibility of Jordan. And he isn't/hasn't demanded £10k a week. He was offered it, he took it. The stumbling for Stoke is, as has been pointed out, that we want compensation for his contract, not that he still wants a massive wage.

Can I just ask why has this thread diverged onto his talents on the field? Is this thread just another excuse to criticise Akinbiyi? Can we talk about something positive on this board one day?
