Obafemi

[IanMcL]

Receiving love at Millwall. Move possible or is he our 'proper striker' in the Championship?

Worth a swop for Zian Flemming?

I hope not Ian,stick with LF he's struggling at the moment but there is a great striker in there.

We need more than 1 in the Championship!

Aye your right...it will be Rodriguez, that Obafemi never looks fit,I'm sure he will be gone come May

[jrgbfc]

I'd let him go if we can get some money back.

[Steve1956]

I think the days of spending Millions on potential are long gone.

"Michael owed me that goal today – I’ll leave it at that, for why" - interesting quote from their manager.

We paid peanuts for him didn't we, (in the current market) so as a decent Championship striker with potential to improve you would hope that we would get a lot more than "some money back".

[ElectroClaret]

Sell

Surely he should be given a chance in the Championship.
If it's not working out, flog him then.

(Course, if we see he's a dud, then others clubs will have
got wise to his deficiencies as well.)
But I think he should be given the chance to do his stuff,
if he can.

Also saw some other comments about his total lack of fitness when he arrived which tallies up with what we are seeing from a lot of our team at the moment

[Silkyskills1]

Lots of potential problems upcoming for next season but the 'strikers department' is a major one. The current crop are way off acceptable and the ones out on loan don't fill me with confidence either.

Our fitness as a team currently seems atrocious, we have a decent first 45 then look completely shot in the second half every game

[Goliath]

Yep it's frustrating, there's no excuse for lacking fitness.
Ekdal going off with cramp after an hour was incredibly pathetic. Maybe they should be playing in u23 games to build fitness...

[Hipper]

I've always liked that Jake Cooper. Limited but old school footballer who does his best.

(not saying we should be interested, just mentioning it)

[winsomeyen]

I hope not Ian,stick with LF he's struggling at the moment but there is a great striker in there.

Think he is struggling due to being played as a winger, another square peg in a round hole.

[The Shire Claret]

It would seem that way yet the 2 games where we had 10 men (Villa/Chelsea) we seemed to have energy for days and should have got something at villa

Everton doesn't count

[jojomk1]

Another poor buy who VK clearly didn't fancy as his lack of game time and loan suggests
Get any money we can for him

Not sure he's a poor buy in financial terms.
Difficult to judge his potential value to the team because of his serious injury which required surgery and a long lay off, but you don't get much for about 3 million nowadays, and a few decent displays in the Championship and he'll be worth more than that.

[ksrclaret]

I'm just glad we didn't sign him in August 2022 when I dread to think how much more money would have been chucked down the pan.

[nil_desperandum]

Fully agree. They were wanting about 12 million as I recall.

[Vegas Claret]

got him for next to nothing, we will make a profit on him for sure albeit probably a small one

[boatshed bill]

But we didn't, so your dread is wasted.

[ksrclaret]

Oh heck, Bill.

[bfcjg]

Not for us, let's see if we can make a profit on him.

[ksrclaret]

Crikey. I didn't realise it was that much. I had £9m in my head but it was a while ago so could be wrong.

I dread to think how much money we'd have lost on him had we paid around those figures.

We were never going to pay that.
We loaned him, I believe, knowing he had fitness issues. Sounds like he's just about got himself fully match-fit now with Millwall.

He only had fitness issues because he barely featured for Swansea after being denied a move to us in the summer.

So did we sign him with fitness issues or not?
Did we sign him for a reported £12million or not?

Take a chill pill, Bill, as the kids might (no longer) say.

I don't understand the fuss about non-events.

Just passing the time of day, Bill. Corrie isn’t much good at the moment.

That's a shame, it was good in the black and white era

They really aren’t

100% guarantee Jay isnt with us next season
i know it for a fact

safe to say the wheels are in motion already to leave

[Jambounchained]

I'd rather have Obafemi than Jay Rod next season, as long as he can get fit.

[AfloatinClaret]

Aye your right...it will be Rodriguez, that Obafemi never looks fit...

Are you suggesting that Jay-Rod does look fit... his legs have been gone for the last two seasons.

Actually it was a tongue in cheek comment...but nevermind eh.
