In fact he was our best contracted defender, second only to loanee, Hector True as far as it goes, but Lees looked very average and Fox was...well Fox.

We’re the “South Yorkshire outfit “ apparently.... flat cap, clogs and baggy wool trousers with string tied around the bottom of the legs. You wear cloggs....

torryowl Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 never heard of this bloke but looking at his record seems like a solid enough championship player and to get one on the cheap cant be a bad thing ….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuttyTeabags Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Pace on right wing just the ticket. When you see his highlights on YT lots of them were against us at Wembley. tbh this could just be paper talk based on the Bruce/ Hull link but dare I say it he looks an upgrade on Palmer as competition to Iorfa no matter how well Palmer has done....

At right back, there is no way he is an upgrade on Palmer. Defensively, he can be a bit of a liability, always getting on the wrong side of his man Probably why they switched him back to midfield, where his real strengths lie If we were playing with wing backs, maybe, but at full back, no way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can not believe anyone could think differently if they go to the matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the 1 and half game that lazaar played he looked the best left back we'd had in years ……..it's the 20 games he missed that worries me .

I can not believe anyone could think differently if they go to the matches. Hard to make the case on barely two appearances, where admittedly, he did look good Too injury prone though to consider bringing him back. Iorfa is a useful squad player, but a little too ungainly when defending the flanks Good to throw on when we’re trying to save the game though He’s like the new Reda.

That's the thing, I don't usually make snap judgements on players but this lad just looked the real deal. I don't think I'd sign him for the injury issues but ability wise he appears different gravy.

oldishowl Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Well Bruce knows this guy well and knows what he can bring to the team so obviously he thinks he can improve us. It is not a risk from that perspective Unless it’s all rubbish of course Edited May 10, 2019 by oldishowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you go to the games where Lazaar played? I agree that two games is not a big enough sample but then again the 5 or 6 games palmer played Left Back isn't ideal to be saying Palmer was our best LB. Not arguing that Iorfa is the most technical gifted player but I'd say he was more effective (despite Palmer's impressive displays) as the sum of his parts gave the team more...his attributes made us as a team better last season as we lacked those attributes. Now if next season we fill the team with more power and pace then maybe Palmer will be the better option at right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigash_swfc Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I think this is likely. According to what I gather. Odubajo had the option to extend his deal with Brentford and chose against it. He played 35 games for them, rebuilding himself after his long lay off. Still only 25 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we go for a conventional left back instead of a player playing out of position? Only 4 of 30 appearances last term were at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I'd be pleased if he signs. Hull paid millions for him. To get him on a free would be triffic Rodders. Yes, he's had a serious knee injury - but many bounce back from those. Assombalonga's was horrific, hasn't stopped him.. Odubajo has played a decent number of games this season to imply he's still physically able post injury, and at 25-26yrs...bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odubajo has played a decent number of games this season to imply he's still physically able post injury, and at 25-26yrs...bargain. If he came in and played to pre injury form he’d be a very valuable asset. Similar (although he’s played a good volume of games last three seasons) with Nick Powell. If contracted and without any blemishes both both of these are way out of our price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce signed Odubajo for 3.5, and reportedly wanted Powell for 5. To sign players of that value for free aged 25 would be excellent in my opinion.
