Brighton eye Onuora


Coppell is aiming for promotion
Brighton have made an enquiry about Sheffield United about striker Iffy Onuora.
Albion manager Steve Coppell has made no secret of the fact he wants to bring new forwards into the club after the departures of Paul Kitson and Graham Barrett

The Blades have also stated they want to reduce their wage bill.

Onuora, 35, has played for Huddersfield, Mansfield, Swindon and Gillingham and the Terriers are also interested in signing Onuora again.

The striker has returned to training after an Achilles injury ruled him out for most of last season.

 

[Soton Seagull]

No comment from the club so far. I think the story broke back end of last week, but no whispers since. Got to be worth a 1 year deal. Pretty sure that even if injured he can comfortably score more than Kitson & Barrett did!

 

[Trigger]

Huddersfield, even though a division below & deep in financial shit will probably offer him a better deal than DK can...

 

[tinx]

I think a sunday league team could offe rhim a better deal that DK will.

 

[Albion Dan]

Onoura would be good if fit and cheap but has far too much "Kitson" potential for my liking!!!

Exactly. Onoura is past it anyway. Would've preferred Rougier.

 

[Wilts]

Still can get Rougier, he's in limbo at the moment.

 

[Albion Dan]

Dont want Rouge either personally, he was good for us in a short period of time but hes not a long term answer as his goals to game ratio proves.

Whats your opinion of him having seen him over a period of times wilts?

Onuora is 36 this month. Does anyone remember Phil Stant?

Um... well he's the strongest footballer I've ever seen, and gives his all most of the time. Good dribbler, good in the air, good vision, good passing. Generally good running off the ball. Loads of assists.

But:

He's a striker, and doesn't score.
Fades out of the game a lot
Doesn't tackle well
Can look lazy, despite trying his hardest.

Make of that what you will. You already have a quality freescoring centre-forward, so Rouge will work with him well. We haven't got a Zamora, so expect our centre-forwards to score, which Rougier doesn't. Hence he's on the way out. Quite sorry to see him go as he's a top bloke.

Asked my neighbour, who is a season ticket holder, and he reckons Huddersfield are offering him a coaching/player role which will be better for him in the long run. He wouldn't have to move either from the Sheffield area.

That must be in our favour! I bet he can't wait to move away from Sheffield - it's a shit-hole!

"Who let the Stant out?, ooo .ooo ,ooo, ooo!"

You obviously haven't seen much of it then.

Couldn't agree more. A good player who is past his best and has had a bad run with injuries.

Iffy only played 7 games last season.

It really would be "Kitson revisited."

Nah, steer clear Stevie.

Agree entirely, surely we can do better than this ?
