Obafemi to go out on loan?

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Well, this does not make good reading at all as far as I am concerned.
He came on as a sub for Southampton in the 82 nd minute against Spurs in January 2018.
Since then in league and cup football but excluding Internationals he has made 107 appearances but started only 47 matches. Of those starts, 33 were for Swansea where he also made 19 sub appearances and scored 14 goals betwween August 2021 and July 2023 when he came to the Clarets. The last time he played a full game was on 29 October 2022 for Swansea at Bristol City.
He has started only one game for the Clarets in the FA Cup against Fleetwood.
He played a total of 280 minutes last season and has made 2 sub appearances this season amounting to 19 minutes.

As far as I can tell he has spent 498 days since December 2018 having treatment for injuries. It seems that 322 of those days relate to hamstring injuries. The other 176 days relate to a knock from December 2020 to May 2021.All this was between Dec 2018 and May 2021.
Nobody can predict injuries and he reamined injury free from May 2021 until his latest one came when on International duty back in June 2023 but that meant he was having treatment, before coming on as a sub in November, for 143 days.

Quite a sad tale really with so little game time in just over 5 years.

Thanks mein freund I knew you would put the record straight.

For someone who's built like a brick $hit house he sure is injured a lot.

We were mug enough to sign an injury prone player like Obafemi, now we need to find a club mug enough to take him on loan. Might be difficult.

Clear out required this summer.

Get shut of the lot of them, with the Manager and coaching staff the 1st through the door.

All the dross still under contract then need loaning out

I like this 'no fecking about' approach, clear the lot out and then start again with the management dream team of Joey and Big Dunc in charge, Colin as Head Coach and Fat Sam Technical Director. At least we wouldn't go down without a fight.

There's hope yet. Just watched a pulsating Roses derby in which Dirty Weeds nicked a late 2-1 win courtesy of a soft penalty.

Who ran back 30 yards at full speed to prevent a late Bamford strike from going goal bound?

None other than "Sicknote Brady". The wonders of medical science.

I thought he wasn't playing because he was injured, in which case he won't be going out on loan.

My post 13, 'he's not match fit'.
TeamTalk, 'so that he can regain match fitness'.

But it doesn't take a genius to work it out, if you haven't played a full game in well over a year, you're not going to be match fit, it's self evident. TeamTalk doesn't mention any of the clubs that are supposedly interested in signing him. My guess would be that's because there aren't any.
