Leading Goalscorer Coming Down for Talks

Leading goalscorer and apparently want away striker Adebayo Akinfenwa is due to come to Torquay on Thursday for talks with Leroy Rosenior and Mike Bateson.

Chairman Mike Bateson is clearly losing, or has lost patience with the whole situation which has been complicated by the intervention of a second agent who is apparently not acting for Akinfenwa.

United have now given permission for League One favourites Bristol City to talk to the player with Rosenior commenting that he just wanted an end to the matter, while Bateson, in his usual dry wit commented "I hope they don't have as much trouble contacting us as we did!"

Gulls-Mad were hoping that Akinfenwa would sign for the Gulls, but now that the Robins have shown an interest it is unlikely that he would turn them down to come back here.
