I don’t think Cook has ever properly settled. We definitely will never see him in a Stags shirt again.

Akins has operated on the right hand side mainly in recent years. I’ve seen him described as one of the most versatile players in the EFL. According to Transfer Markt, Clough played Akins on the right for more games than he did down the middle. He’s also played a fair amount at RB and LW according to that.

If we do sign akins, I can't wait for the 'square pegs in round holes' comments if he ever plays in more than one position

Groundless speculation re Akins, Stagsnet' favourite topic.

As others have mentioned, he played under 3 managers and never really secured a starting place despite looking better on many occasions that the ones he was replacing.
We never really saw him pair with Maynard (under dempster/Coughlan ) so hard to say if that would have worked.

Like your post on the Benning thread and your comments about Ollie Clarke you mean?

If you say so?
Benning, can see him going if an offer comes forward, he's a good player on a speculative big wage, similar to Cook.
As for Clarke, at the time he was poor, gave the ball away far too much but recently he has been a star, my view point was, is he happy in the north without his mentor?
We will see at seasons end one way or another if not before?
