Tom Adeyemi Wins Rotherham Player Of Year.


Star Football Awards: Tom Adeyemi wins Rotherham United Player of the Year

Tom Adeyemi has been named as Rotherham United's Player of the Year at tonight's Star Football Awards.

The Star’s Millers writer Paul Davis and Rotherham United manager Paul Warne presented Adeyemi with the award. Adeyemi clinched the award ahead of teammates Danny Ward and Jon Taylor. Rotherham United manager Paul Warne described goalscoring central midfielders as "gold dust". The Millers' loan star has seven goals in 28 appearances this season, including the winner in last Saturday's 1-0 triumph over Ipswich Town. A 'centre mid' scoring at the rate of a goal every four matches for a team who have fought hard but had their troubles in the Championship. Gold dust. It could even have been eight. Adeyemi's header in the Hillsborough derby last December should never have been ruled out. But we won't go there.

His game isn't just about goals either. He's been a big physical presence for Rotherham in all areas of the pitch. He won't be short of suitors in the summer when he's out of contract at parent club Cardiff City, but all Millers fans are hoping the 25-year-old decides to turn his stay at New York Stadium into a permanent one.

So KEEP or LET GO ???

I can't see us selling him for a lot of money. He's probably on low-ish wages, also.

For those reasons, I'd say keep him as a squad rotation player:

1) We're low on central midfielders.
2) He's got a good amount of Championship experience.
3) 25 years old. Plenty more years to come.

Warnock might get the best out of him, just like he has done to Kenneth Zohore. If Warnock could mould him into a more consistent player, he could do a job for us and also increase his worth on the transfer market.

Bring him back and give the lad a run of games I say! :clap: :ayatollah:

Thats great for Tom Adeyemi and congratulations :ayatollah:

I remember his first game for us and he put in a good performance and one unbelievable midfield tackle to thwart a big threatening break from the opposition. Sadly, he just himself in the process, was out for some time and I feel we didn't see the best of him after that

Could he do a job for City next season? Maybe, but I'll leave that decision to our capable manager :thumbup: ;)

Very good player. A pity Warnock wasn't here when he was playing for us. He had the misfortune of being with us when we had a numpty in charge.

He could be a very good player for us next season. Young, experienced, low wages (one would think). Many reasons for him to become a vital Cardiff City player! :ayatollah:

Yes, I think he could but (as stated) that will depend wholly on Neil Warnock. Perhaps a good pre-season will shape his future and see him flourish at the CCS. I'd like to see that :ayatollah:

All the above are valid points...but the guy is out of contract in a few weeks time and as he hasn't kicked a ball for us in over 2 years...he won't be with us next season

Not sure why people assume he's on low wages when one signed him

Good point OGS was the manager when we signed him and didn't exactly have a record of being prudent with wages.

Exactly i thought hes signrd permanently for them already

In his season for us he had a pass completion of 60%. That means nearly half the times he gets the ball, he gives it away. Good luck to him etc but being good in the worst Championship side of all time is different to being good for a side with ambitions to challenge.

Star Football Awards: Tom Adeyemi wins Rotherham United Player of the Year

The Star’s Millers writer Paul Davis and Rotherham United manager Paul Warne presented Adeyemi with the award. Adeyemi clinched the award ahead of teammates Danny Ward and Jon Taylor. Rotherham United manager Paul Warne described goalscoring central midfielders as "gold dust".

His game isn't just about goals either. He's been a big physical presence for Rotherham in all areas of the pitch. He won't be short of suitors in the summer when he's out of contract at parent club Cardiff City, but all Millers fans are hoping the 25-year-old decides to turn his stay at New York Stadium into a permanent one.

So KEEP or LET GO ???
