Obika Signs loan deal - official confirmation (merged threads)

[essexeagle]

Thanks for your helpful contribution. Remind me what this has to do with you?

Well, I just wanted to temper some of your enthusiasm for this major signing so you weren't all too disappointed, that's all. There are threads about what song to sing for him and allsorts! Having had the guy playing for my club....he's shit! That's all. If you want to believe he's the next big thing then carry on!

If you want to **** off back to your own board then carry on...! I couldn't care less what Obika did for Palace several years ago. He looks like a decent loan signing as back up in the event of injury to Ulloa - if it turns out like it did with Leroy Lita then he won't even play very much.

It looks like he scores goals in teams that know how to play him. It's either no goals for some teams (like Palace) or a goalscoring rate of 1 in 3 for others, and one of those teams was coached by our no.2. He scored 6 the other day in one competitive match, he must have something in him.

Bizarrely, I was working on Charlotte Street in London yesterday, and there is a restaurant called Obika next door to a restaurant called Oscar.

Some players fail to excel at one club before doing well at another. I believe we turned Ian Wright down before he ended up with you. More recently you had Liam Bridcutt on loan(or trial?) and turned him down. Obika may or may not do well for us. His spell at Palace is no indicator of how he'll do at Brighton.

And his loan signing really shouldn't warrant a visit and post from a palace fan. You must surely have better things to do than go on another teams board and comment on a loan signing. Surely.

Brighton fans talking about a new loan signing on a Brighton board, whatever next. So nice of you to think of us.

Must admit i'm not over enthused by this he hasn't done a lot as far as i'm aware wherever he has gone but still fingers crossed

Yeah, like that Liam Bridcutt eh - hes pretty shi.....oh hang on

Unfortunately yes but we may get to see his replacement and I hope that means someone in addition to Obika!

Got to be given a fair chance. With Tottenham's struggle to score goals I'm surprised that Andre Villas-Boas didn't use Jonathan Obika more. Hope the loan deal works out.

Harry Kane was ahead of him in the pecking order, plus he's been injured for most of the season till now...

According to the Argus, Obika has vowed to be "clinical"

I hope that this doesn't mean he expects to spend most of his time in a clinic; we've got several of those already

Will Warren Aspinall pronounce his name "Ibiza" or "Obeser" ?

I expect it rubbed off from your other "Stars". Here he'll be surrounded with quality.

That made me raise a smile

Welcome Jon. If you are clinical it will guarantee you a starting place.

 

[Dumseagull]
