Akinfenwa move delayed by new medical

Adi Akinfenwa's proposed transfer from Swansea City to Swindon Town is on hold after a 2nd medical was ordered. Akinfenwa has been a target for boss Paul Sturrock during the summer as he looks to strengthen Town's squad for the new League 1 campaign. Meanwhile Hasney Aljofree has completed his move from Plymouth Argyle to the County Ground adding depth to the defence...

He is a bit of a lump and I guess would be on a hefty wedge. I wonder whether Swindon Town will be able to afford his supermarket bills each week.

Ah but Paul Sturrock knows a good player when he sees one

Probably because he didn't see too many games last season at Swansea I think. He was good at Torquay ...

What's the latest on this - I thought a decision was being made yesterday.

Heard this morning that the move is off as Akinfenwa is unlikely to be fit until November.

Yes. Paul Sturrock has decided (Wisely I think) to shelve the deal as he won't be fit 'til November-ish

Think he would have cost you a bomb - where's all the dosh coming from?

New board taking over (See Take Over thread). Rufus Brevett has just been appointed as Sporting Director. He will be Paul Sturrock's point of contact with them. Hopefully things are about to get a lot better ...

Hope you don't get ripped off like Bees did with Ron Noades.

Hopefully not. I believe it's the Wills family who are already on the current board with some new investors. Time will tell ...
