The rumblings are that the player wants to play first team football. Can't knock that. The lad's career is at that stage where he needs to be on the pitch more often than he's gonna get under Eddie.

Word on the street is that there will be a buy back clause included in the transfer and it'll be a 1-in-1-out situation.

With the injury issues the team has faced over the last few seasons with Wilson and the other one spending more time on the treatment table than liked. Wissa being absent since signing, going into the back end of the season with Wissa back in the fold is great but the two of them Woltemade and Yohan still need a 3rd.

What we have witnessed regarding specific recruitment with the signings of Hall and Tino, backed up by Repeated comments from Eddie, is that 'When the right player becomes available the club will go and get them.

Both the full-backs were absolutely no where near us fan's list of top targets let alone top of the list of targets when the club signed them. Large sections of the crowd were fuming that 'money was wasted' on future players.

I questioned the Hall signing as he wasn't playing, it was about the time Dan Ashworth and Eddie seemed to be on rough ground just before the midget's gardening leave and it all came out that Dinky Dan was back channelling official emails to the swamp dwellers and was on his way out the door.

Look at the quality of both of them now?

That is the kind of recruitment that needs to be ceased upon when that calibre of players becomes available.

Osula has potential, it's clear he's got all the attributes, perhaps except the mentality to really become an elite Prem goal scorer. A few years in Germany with a buy back clause would make the most sense to NUFC with a top quality recruit coming in to replace him.
