[Football] Jon Obika

[Brizzle Lad In Peace]

Hi all, Bristol City fan in peace here, and I just wanted to get your thoughts on Jon Obika, as I believe you had him on loan for a period of last season.

We have been heavily linked with him the last few days, and with us being tipped for promotion, and with some of the quality signings we have made over the last weeks, is he the sort of player we need?

Also, what are his main attributes? Is he a target man? Or is he a pacey striker?

Thanks boys

Hardly got on the pitch, didnt impress when he did.
You haven't taken Nathan Jones as coach have you?

This could be amusing

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

at least if you sign him, we won't !!

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

May be OK for you in League One, but was disappointing for us last year. Showed a bit of pace, but poor in front of goal - not much use as a striker!

Two words......bicycle and kick should sum it up.

Hi Brizzle
I would hold on tight if I were you.
(signed on loan but never given a chance. Spurs recalled before loan period ended)

Useless. Absolutely useless.

He's got real pace, an incredible first touch and is a quality finisher. I wish we had signed him. You will definitely go up with him leading the attack.

He's a big powerful striker,looks quick and dangerous yet somehow lacks any strength, pace or general ability. He once performed an overhead kick which we're still waiting for the ball to land.

 

[Mowgli37]

On a serious note I hope he does well for you, I wish him no ills.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

We signed an Obika and got Amug

 

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

Think his best attribute was splinter avoidance, closely followed by his 80-85 minute warm up.

 

[The Tactician]

Where to begin...

He is RUBBISH. Absolutely rubbish in every sense

When compared to an arthritic tortoise.

Ran a bit like Kryton from Red Dwarf but on crack. That's about as good as it got for me.
