<My first post on fmttm, please give me feedback>
Last season Chuba Akpom was Middlesbrough’s first 20+ goal a season in 33 years and as I learned from his interview with Middlesbrough's last 20+ goal a season striker Bernie Slaven, Chuba is a man of faith. I posit that Chuba’s faith is so strong that God is rewarding his confidence through the doctrine of predestination. In the beginning, when Chuba was exiled from the first team and sent into the Wilderness he was forced to pick the number 29. In the end Chuba Akpom netted that sacred holy number, 29.
When Chuba was still a Boro player he was interviewed on the Boro Breakdown Podcast about the 22/23 season (great work from the pod btw). What I liked about the pod was Chuba’s willingness to highlight the interim manager, Leo Percovich, as the first to change the culture of Middlesbrough FC. In said interview Chuba described how the Uruguayan told the squad how he “wanted them to be like lions” and hung a photo of a lion on the wall of the dressing room. Say what you want about our current mid table plight, but symbols of zoology are clearly being under-utilised alongside the restrained calm approach of Michael Carrick. Maybe it’s time to dust off the inkjet printer, Mr Gibson?
Chuba’s currently on 6 goals in the Eredivisie, after being told by Ajax Manager John van 't Schip to play second fiddle to Brian Brobbey. Ultimately I believe it was Chuba picking the swanky number 10 shirt as the reason, this season, he will only score 4 more.
