I'm sure he'll change his mind after a few more games. I remember when he first signed for us and he looked like a world beater at Winterton. Seems like his started his Tranmere career in a similar fashion but I'd be very surprised if he carries on scoring goals like the one he got on Saturday.

Nah not premiership, don't get me wrong I rated him when he was here and thought he could progress but not that far. I think lower championship top end league one at his peak.

Good player in a god awful team when he ws with us.

Hope he has a great career but at 27 I think his chances of playing in the Premier League are fast diminishing. Played in the French top flight already but think he may have to settle for the lower reaches of the football league in England. A standard we can only dream of at the moment!

He's not good enough for a decent league 1 team. His scoring record speaks for itself. What an awful footballer

What. Do people have seriously short memories? He wasn't good enough when he was with us at all. The only thing that you could guarantee when Akpa Akpro played is a mazy, pointless run followed by the kids down Blundell Av getting a couple of free footballs.

He wasn't good enough for us?

How come he is playing League 1 then? You know more than Rochdale and Tranmere's professional scouting and management set ups do you?

Rochdale wanted to keep him after a decent season in League 1 but he turned them down to sign for Tranmere.

He has, potentially, enormous ability. Way too good for Grimsby Town. Signing him was possibly the only bright thing Newell did during his time at BP. If Lambert and Le Fondre can hack it in The Premiership, why not Ak-Ak?

Because they're actually good footballers with great goal scoring ability?
