Comments from the Baggies forum on Rakeem 09:02 - Jun 10 with 1673 views | hype313 | The last comment could be made for us and Dozzell... "Good luck to him, I don’t think he ever looked good enough and the hype around him when he broke through was unwarranted. Should be good in league one though, wouldn’t be a surprise to see Edwards join him." "He’s got all the attributes but somethings missing. I think 46 games in league one would do him the world of good though. There’s a solid championship player there in the future." "Fee rumoured to be £0.5m only one year left on his contract and going to a League 1 club think that's about as good as it gets I'm afraid." "Another one we’ve wasted when he should have been out playing regular football.." "Scratching my head here? Surely worth a look at for the new gaffer?" "The problem is that we are desperate for one of our own young lads to show promise and do well, that when they do break into the first team we as fans expect more from them than they are able to give. Harper had a few good games for us but looked, in the main, that he didn't have a lot of stamina or the heart when the pressure was on. Hope he does well wherever he ends up" And this last comment resonated with me too, similarities with us.. "Good luck to Harper, he's the latest in a long line of potentially good players who for one reason or another have failed to break into the team/ game substantially. Maybe none of them were good enough or maybe the structures at our club failed them - bit of both I think." [Post edited 10 Jun 2021 9:11]

Hand on heart I've never seen him play, but he certainly looks an Ashton type of signing. |  |

I really don't know anything about him so can't really judge much, sounds promising but will have to wait and see. SB |  | |  |

Yep, agreed, quite a bit harder to make the cut in a struggling PL side as opposed to a struggling League One club. |  |
