I knew you can't be offside from one, so had it in my mind, you cant score also (as a throw-in) Big faux pas by me. I'm a retired referee I think they changed the rule a few years back right enough.

ri Alban Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) People who shout offside at Tynecastle when a throw in has been taken should stick to bake off. There are folk on here who argue black is white that don't even know the rules of the game. Please stop.

stuart500 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Adebayo was playing for Walsall at Morecambe last night. Missed a chance to win the game late on apparently. Still, he could be a decent prospect so if it's him we want then good luck to the lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re missing the point he’s not looking for an out and out goal scorer he wants someone that can hold up the ball and take us further up the park. to link up with Boyce and others obviously he will need to contribute with goals but let’s wait and see how he does if and when he comes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upgotheheads Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Adebayo has a one in three scoring record which is hardly great for a striker at the levels he has played at, on the other hand he's only 23 and could still develop. Maybe it just comes down to how much he costs us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rambo Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Adebayo could be the proverbial gem plucked from the lower leagues, so lets judge when/if he signs. I mentioned on here a few weeks ago a couple of strikers I'd go for as I'd be looking for smallish, mobile, 20 goal a season types; ohh how I wish for a young Robbo to come along! Clearly Robbie is looking for an out and out target man. The two names I threw in from League 2 were Max Watters and Matt Jay. Both young, mobile, scoring at a decent rate and would perhaps be within our budget. Watters moved to Cardiff a couple of days ago for an undisclosed fee, in excess of £500k is the rumour, so I was wrong on being able to afford him. Both these players have moved about on loan, got some experience and are now settled, getting a run of games and scoring at a great rate. A similar case can be made for Adebayo. Almost 1 in 3 at Walsall for his type of forward is a great return and he will have had a great grounding at Fulham. There is plenty evidence in Scottish football of an unheralded player from an unheralded team scoring at a decent rate in the Scottish Premier League; Moult springs to mind. However there is also evidence of the reverse as we all know! Let hope little Savage and Robbie have done their homework and this guy is the gem we are all hoping for.

We've been burnt many times but at least this guy will offer another dimension up top which we've been lacking. He should also be relatively low cost, just hope he's not another Stockton.
