People saying he had 'potential' and 'never got the chance'.... Perhaps these statements are true, however if he was under-performing in training and not putting the work in then I can see why he never got his chance. He went on loan to Solihull to get games & gain some much needed match fitness and performed very poorly, why do so many think he would have been our saviour?
Hooper has played like he cannot be arsed when brought on and we were warned of this by Port Vale fans but he is still here.

One can guess that he wasn’t pulling up any trees seen as he’s never got near Slade’s squad, and he couldn’t get in the team when he was fit under Bignot either. Fair enough he wasn’t given a chance but there’s a serious threat of relegation and It doesn’t seem to be the right time to give him a chance now! Harsh but I would be surprised to see him in LG 2 again.

Jeez we have wasted a lot of money this season losing count now on who is still here.
That's Osborne.Clements, Tombola,Jones,Asante, gone. Some decent players there whilst we keep the likes of Woolford, Hooper and Vernon.
Slade must see something we can't because I think we have thrown away the wrong players.

Grimsby Town Football Club can confirm that striker, Akwasi Asante has left the club by mutual consent to move onto another club with immediate effect
It would be interesting to hear his side of the story for balance.
Is this the first time a director has driven a player out of the club?

No suprise...was clear he would never play for us again when Slade basically dismissed the subject when asked how he was doing by JT a few weeks ago....will probably never know for sure but for JF to discuss him as he did in the Fenty Tapes ...added to the total disregard of Slade gives some indication that the players attitude was lacking somewhat.

I think it's a little unfair to lump Vernon in with Hooper and Woolford. He always gives 100%, and still useful when "seeing a game out". Unfortunately, I accept we haven't been in that position for some time

Just to put a few things straight about akwasi. He only trained with the 1st team squad once. He suprised management how fit and good he was. He was then told to train with the youth. This was not about akwasi ability, he was a Bignot player on relative high wages together with the othet 3 that have gone. All four had to go. No attempt made to stop them including osborne. Regards Solihull. When akwasi went there it was to get match fitness. He was still recovering from a bruised bone on his right foot.look it up it can take time to heel but he was prepared to have steroid injections to get through pain. Richard money loaned him and paid all of his wages. Akwasi was getting fitter until money walked out and Mark Yates took over. Similar scenario to grimsby. Akwasi was on loan at a team that the new manager wanted his own players. Akwasi tried to cancel the loan but grimsby was not allowing it they were saving money. He stayed till the end which was a waste of time. My believe was that they thought solihull was going to keep him. Akwasi pushed for the loan to solihull because of the physio facilities were far better. His intention was to come back to grimsby and fight for a place. That was never going to happen. His time at grimsby he looks upon as a positive experience. He had 6 months left of a contract which meant he could have sat in the stands and collect his wages. That's not for akwasi. He has agreed a severance and has signed for a club in the Midlands who came in for him last week.They have matched his financial package but more importantly he will be given the chance to play. He still has ambitions.. Regarding the rumours about him not pulling his weight in training just a smoke screen. Anyway all has been sorted. There could have been a lot more to say but have agreed to keep shim. All the best for the future you fans deserve it.
