    Obafemi to the Lions...

    yes I can see that he has little game time but that now has to change as we have a slew of injuries, and we do need a striker. He has been training already and our new gaffer having been the England U21 Manager knows a thing or two in motivating hoping to see some results. He is happy to come to the Den as he has family in the Smoke and apparently, they will be coming to see him play. As for you guys what happened to that great team that went up last year?

    He could have had plenty of game time Claw, but he was never fit. I'm not convinced he's fit now, but what do I know ? Hopefully he's a regular starter for you and scores plenty of goals, win, win, win then, for you, for us and the lad himself

    As for our great team of last season, we appeared to be signing players last summer who could increase in value, with no thought whatsoever as to whether they were good enough for the PL, or the type of player we actually needed. Whether this was due to the management team or the owners who knows, but I don't have Kompany down as a fool, so I'm assuming he was signing players on instruction from above, which has left us where we are now, in deep trouble. In mitigation, we have been robbed of somewhere between 8 and 10 points by ludicrous VAR decisions going against us, but most of our problems are of our own making.

    You are right Sinkov, he won't be fit for a while, but he will have to knuckle down because that is what he is paid for, but he did seem quite positive. Var is the pits glad it is not in the championship.

    I rate him, he's good on and off the ball and will score goals in the Championship.

    Good move for the lad and the Lions. Good luck for the rest of the season.

    Like a lot of our players, he never really got a look in here.I can remember him coming on as a substitute and making an assist for Foster`s first goal for us.That seems a million miles away now.Since then he has been yet another players who are on the periphery.Why VK went after him in 2 consecutive transfer windows and waited 12 months for him God only knows.

    I can answer that in two words Claw, Ross Barkley. He makes all the difference to them and we don't have anyone fit to lace his boots.

    For me he was overweight most of the time or I’m confused at what type of forward he is

    Ie drop some weight and play on the shoulder like Tella did or be much stronger and hold the ball up and run at defenders.

    Didn’t get enough game time to tell really

    He does have pace so maybe needs games drop a few pounds and be very good at championship level.
