BANKOLE REVEALS TRUE CHARACTER
RANGERS have today completed the signing Crewe's Nigerian international goalkeeper Ademola 'George' Bankole.
The 27 year old joins the R’s for the new season under the Bosman ruling. He will challenge Lee Harper for the number one spot as Tony Roberts has left QPR.
Ademola is delighted with the transfer. He says:"I feel so good. It’s a chance for me to prove myself and to show the people what I can do on the field of play.
"I’m moving to a big team now. Crewe is a big club, but not as big as Queens Park Rangers. So it’s a great move for me."
Ademola has a reputation for being a flamboyant goalkeeper. Indeed, he has been likened to Bruce Grobbelaar by some critics. Is that a fair comparison?
"Every time I go out to play football and go into goal, I go there to enjoy myself," says Ademola. "Anyone who has seen me play will know the kind of goalkeeper I am. If a striker is coming at me with the ball, I try to divert him and make him a little confused. You can make him lose concentration by panicking him a little. And if luck is on your side you will save the ball. Last season when I was at Crewe, I was so lucky that I saved most things!"
