On This Day.

On this day in 2000 we broke our transfer record to sign Ade Akinbiyi.
And 18 years later just £20-30 million will buy you the likes of Islam Slimani and Kalechi Iheanacho.
 
It probably wouldn’t, now, given the Richarlison deal.
In Akinbiyi’s famously shit post-Heskey season he scored more goals than Richarlison did in his only season in England so what the **** does that mean?!

I’ve said it before, I’m going to stick to FM. It’s much better.

The scary thing is, if Akinbiyi did what he did for Wolves in 17/18, rather than back then, he’d cost somewhere in the region of £25m-£30m to buy now, in all likelihood.
 
I was so optimistic when we signed him that I even put some money on him finishing as the top PL scorer, but sadly he didn’t repay my faith.

I have a feeling he’ll come good this season though.
