Not seen enough of him to decide whether he will be good enough but is waiting to see what other offers come his way before signing a new contract with us leaves a bitter taste. Especially at his age missing a full pre season it could be Christmas before he is as match fit as everyone else

Bin him
 
Garbutt et al had been released. He's done nowt man, theres no options to consider. Nobody wants him even for free. Agent seemed to think he could hold us to ransom and we called his bluff.
Or we offered him a contract, he decided to test the market, didn't like the offers so has potentially agreed to terms with us. I don't know why everything has to be so sinister when we don't know what's gone on behind the scenes.
 
I don't particularly rate him, but even though he's limited and he has flaws I think he's got enough to do a decent job at this level simply because of his height/strength and pace and mindset in running with the ball and at players. He might have had too much smoke blown up his arse and he might be an arrogant tosspot, but I'd be a bit pissed off and wanting assurances if Charlie Wyke and Will Grigg got regular games to do fuck all and I was nowhere near the team.
 
To many questions about this lad and not enough answers! I’d question his ethics and his desire to play for our club. Send out the wrong message and I think he has took the piss. That’s fair enough if your world class, but 8m pretty sure he is not. When the division will be full of out of contract players I’d wait to see what else is available that might bolster the first team squad
 
Terrible news.

He's f***ing shit, has a f***ing shit attitude, and will only be coming back because not another team in the world wants to sign him because he is f***ing shit with a f***ing shit attitude.

The gamble in offering him a contract, only to make sure we received compensation when he moved on, is another gamble that has backfired. We should have withdrawn the offer months ago.

He's not shit like.

He's been training in Sweden. He'll probably return fitter than everyone else.

if he signs it's because no one else wants him

Shape of things to come in the current climate. Only the very best will be able to boss clubs about and play hard ball. He has probably realised its sign back with us or spend a full season not playing anywhere which would be catastrophic for his career. Lots of players out of work.

I bet any offers hes has had from elsewhere were considerably less than what we offered him.
 
Why is everyone saying he’s a wrong un with a terrible attitude etc ? Genuine question cos I haven’t really been following the Kimpioka situation very closely but it looks like he was out of contract, waited for other offers Before potentially signing another deal here.

I don't rate Parky at all but even I have to admit he's got the squad in better shape physically, not to say Kimpioka isn't going to come back in good shape like.

We need. bi of pace, he's got that. We don't take enough chances or do the unexpected, he can do that. Get him in.
 
No one is interested in him on a free so not sure that tracks. He’s a jumped up little no mark who’s allowing his agent to ruin his career. I’m all for getting the average age of the squad down but this little fucker will never make it. Zero application.
Agree TBG but it cant be a football decision. I think it has to be a punt on getting a fee later.

Apparently because he didn’t sign a new deal for a club who haven’t really pushed our youth players in recent times.

Because he/his agent apparently wanted guarantees of first team action when he'd barely kicked a ball for the first team, he was dropped from the U23s for being late to team meetings and the club offered him the chance to use the facilities in pre-season which he declined to do so. On the last point he says they told him to stay away due to quarantine but Parkinson has intimated that wasn't the case. Both sides will obviously be twisting things slightly to make their position sound better but there's a bit of smoke around him for there to be no fire.

But, if he signs a contract and gets his head down, great. He wouldn't have been the first kid to do something a bit dumb.
 
A cheap extra body in the squad. Fair enough if the lad thought he could do better. Agents (parasites) must surely be coming under some sort of governance soon though?
