Potentially a very good player at league 1 level but was going nowhere with us. Would have been interesting to see what Garner could have made of him but I’m not particularly grieving for him.
I assume he watched the videos and told whoever he needs to tell that he’s not worth £500k or whatever it cost Massive.
There would be people having fits if we spent that kind of dosh on him.

Except backwards unfortunately. Decent the first season, poor the next.
Had a poor season for us like many but the potentials there. It wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up being a reasonable Championship player in the future.
That being said I’m not fussed we haven’t got him back and I’m hopeful we’ll have better.
As I've said before, the fact he's signing for another League 1 speaks volumes about his progression, or lack thereof. If he got any better in his time with us he'd be in the Norwich squad, or on loan to someone in the championship by now
But for his woeful back pass in 20-21 we would have made play offs. Came back last yr and was garbage. Should fit in well at Weds who seem to be gearing up to play long hoof ball. Talentless in possession. Poor mans Titus Bramble without. Good luck to him. Glad he has been part of our clear out.
his passing wasnt good enpugh and his mental capaciry wasnt strong enough. he often got caught ball watching And was found out of position. His pace may have got him out of a few scrapes but strikers were getting to know this
he regressed under us and needed to move on. Good luck.
but we can exploit that when we play Sheff Weds (though no doubt he’ll be like Beckenbauer on those days)
Should suit a hoofball team like Wendies, if there is one thing Akin can do its aimlessly kick it up the pitch.
An okay defender, who started really well for us and gradually got worse and worse, poor in the air for a CB, poor with the passer of the ball and seemed to think he could dribble when he couldn't.
The idea that he could play left back is also a bit baffling.
Putting together a nice squad at Sheffield. Clearly going to be doing the opposite to us and trying to physically dominated other clubs. Keeping Bannan was huge plus for them.

Thought they were a dodgy, skint and under FA,EFL sanction football club?
I thought Famewo was a bit of a mystery last season. He progressed some elements of his game- pushing forwards with the ball, using his strength against opponents - but went backwards in terms of positional sense. To the point where it was non-existent. To get the best out of him, I fear he needs anoher centre half to guide him and that is a luxury and not sustainable as if you have such a player, what happens when he is injured.
I think it was the right decision to steer clear as it would have been a risk and cost us money we can better spend elsewhere IMO.

Reminds me of when my old man said your house ain't worth 500k , when it sold for 500k.
Wednesday are in league 1…
Sheff Wed are League One (or I've been whooshed/ missed your point)
I've had a couple of beers and also just remembered I'd booked the Sheffield Wednesday train tickets last week
I'm shit there, in fact I'm shit everywhere, but I can play there and if he's prepared to give it a go then maybe I should dust my boots off too..
Yeah "left back" in the changing room
Liability last season, completely lost form

Passing game was poor which opponents worked out pretty quickly.
He’s an OK acquisition for a League One side but I don’t see it as a loss that he’s going elsewhere.
Think he is an okay defender with delusions of grandeur of being a ball playing defender. Needs to sort the basics out first.
Oh well, magic'd away I suppose?
