Bruce could get him firing again in this league but I’m aware we’re top heavy on the striking department and he’s likely to command a fee albeit WHU are prepared to take a loss and he’s willing to take a wage cut. Was he a one season wonder at Preston I’m not sure Scored 43 goals in his entire league career starting at Port Vale in 2013, which includes spells at Gateshead, Hartlepool, and Tranmere.

Quist Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 1 hour ago, 19owl08 said: I get he scored a few goals and became an instant hero but in all seriousness his defending is worrying at times. If Odubajo comes Iorfa won’t be first choice. Before Odubajo had bad knee injury he was a tremendous prospect at full back. I thought he was easily best right back in Championship that season. Unfortunately injury scuppered his chance of capitalising on that in Premiership. I saw him play for Brentford against Leeds on TV and he played very well that day. I had seen him previously and thought injury had taken its toll. however when you have been out injured for a prolonged period it takes a while to get back up to speed. Its a strange one him being released it suggests all is not well I read the article which talked about hip injury but definitely knee problem he had when first out. We just need to ensure contract is constructed in a way he is rewarded for playing games and is on a low weekly retainer. Odubajo can play left back as well as right and think its possible we go with 2 from 3 Iorfa, palmer and Odubajo with Penney other likely name in frame. Think Fox does not have pace SB likes at full back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 It's probably hogwash... but if certain parties saw him unlock the champions of the division's defence and create a wonder goal out of nothing (far from the first time).. then they might be thinking he'd be an asset at the right price. Even premier League defences can't stop that type of goal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True his age is a bit off putting. i always remember when Bournemouth signed Wilson for £3m and being jealous we didn’t have that money at the time. Because that’s the sort of player we could do with now if Joao, Forestieri moves on (I mean a lower league young player on the rise) Edited May 12, 2019 by Owls-Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey. At his best he is worth that sort of money as has that touch of quality most players can only dream of. With injury woes I think £14 million would be good price especially with him nearing 30. I would trust Bruce to spend any money available to him wisely.

There’s a few like Taylor, who have a bit of quality, but perhaps a little too old to step up. Also a few very young prospects, who might be worth taking a punt on for the future. Those are probably not yet ready, and if they are, they will be snapped up for big money by top flight clubs, who can afford to take that sort of a punt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Newsome Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I don't think we need to worry about striking options for next season, we need to be looking at a midfielder, 2 wide players a centre back and a left back as a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his best absolutely he's worth that price, he's unplayable on his day - but he's played 35 league games in the last two seasons combined and scored 11 goals, so his best hasn't come all that often. I almost wonder if DC has one price tag for Premier League sides and another for Championship ones as we know Prem clubs have got far more resources to chuck around.

Bluesteel Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Hard to judge these things until you know who you can bring in from the sales. If huge sale could bring in two or three quality players who are in their mid 20s then it’s a difficult decision worth making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
