Kember hits out at Akinbiyi


Akinbiyi has scored just three goals for Palace
Crystal Palace manager Steve Kember has questioned striker Ade Akinbiyi's ambition.
Akinbiyi is on the transfer list at Selhurst Park after struggling to live up to his £2.2m transfer fee since arriving from Leicester in February 2002.

The 28-year-old spent some time on loan to Stoke but his high wages are making a move from Palace unlikely and Akinbiyi seems content to bide his time in the reserves.

Kember said: "To a certain extent I think it's down to the player showing people he still wants to play football.

"You've got weigh up the financial implications for yourself but your football career isn't that long and there comes a time when you have decide whether you want to play or not.

"That's down to each player's personal ambition."

cant blame akinbiiyi for staying put if your workplace gives u a high wage for a job you cant do to the required standard your not going to leave for a similar job where you will be better but on lesser money.

Coppell would never sign him for us, unless hed take about a tenth of what hes getting now.
And even then I wouldnt want him. Hes crap.

Not half the player he was when we had him on loan.

So Kember has started hitting players - I though that was a problem only with Francis

Coppell made an enquiry but was staggered at his salary. As I said in another thread, the player wants to see out his Palace contract because nobody else is going to want him on his wages. He is the biggest wage earner by far - bigger than Haydn Mullins et al.
