raith1974 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Dapo Mebude is rumoured to be training with us. I know he was a young lad when on loan but is he likely to be good enough to play top end Championship football. What's his best position, number 9, 10 or out on the wing. Finally has he got pace. It also says he's 6ft 2 but also looks like he is about 5ft 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also says he's 6ft 2 but also looks like he is about 5ft 10. I didn't see too much of him, but you could see there was a player there. My only real recollection is that he was a wee bit greedy and didn't always release the ball when others were better placed. Liked to take defenders on but maybe too keen for the Hollywood finish. That could have been coached out of him by now though - he was only young and still learning the game. Did he not go out and party during Covid lockdown with some of his Ibrox pals? Think I also heard that he'd been involved in a bad car accident - if so, good to hear that the lad has made a good recovery. Don't recall him being 6ft 2in though - thought he was a fairly wee guy. My memory is utter guff though these days. I'd have him back at Palmy in L1 in a heartbeat though - but I think he's a cut above our level now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Izzy Jones on loan at the same time and he made RM/RWB his own when he was fit. He's absolutely rapid but he didn't have much in the way of end product tbh. No idea how he'll be now and hopefully he's matured off the pitch as well. I can't remind exactly what it was now but something happened when he was with us that didn't show him in a good light. Potential is there. Possibly needs the right manager to get it out of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also says he's 6ft 2 but also looks like he is about 5ft 10. I think he was mainly played as a left winger with Izzy Jones on the right and Connor Shields down the middle. That said, he couldn't hold down a place in the starting XI. He has pace but as said above is a bit greedy and certainly not as good as he was made out to be or possibly thinks he is. Scored one goal from about a foot away from the goal-line if I recall. He was with us in the "George Galloway" covid season so I haven't a clue how tall he was as I only saw him on livestreams. Certainly didn't look over 6ft though. Earlier this year I read that he had crashed his Merc and was in a coma for five days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he not do a Boris and go out partying during lockdown or something with a gang of other Rangers neds youth players? I seem to remember us terminating his loan deal after learning about such tomfoolery, but may be wrong. Edited July 22 by Slipmat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Thanks doesn't sound promising, we do need raw pace but also someone who can put the ball in the net. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must have been Dickson whose loan was terminated owing to his training ground shenanigans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you saw Mebude you almost definitely saw one of Shields or Jones. Shields was a mainstay as was Jones until his injury I'm sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
