swfcjack27 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Similar player to what we had in Sean Clare Flair, definitely a good footballer in there just doesn’t apply himself every game and in the championship you need to be on it all the time. Has to be a small fee, I wasn’t even considering him as an option to come back. Clearly Bruce likes the lad, will trust his judgement and see what happens.

unkastav Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Personally found him very frustrating. Hopefully a brucey rocket up his ass will get him flying if he does sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) You would think we haven’t much money to spend this summer. Onomah won’t be cheap. Personally would prefer us to look elsewhere, from what we’ve seen I don’t think he would improve us enough, yet another player that had a bad season with injuries. He had 1 or 2 good games but other times when his head dropped and he looked like he couldn’t be bothered it was like playing with 10 players on the pitch.

hawksmore Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 In the right system he will be excellent at this level and i would expect as he matures and improves his game under the right manager he will comfortably make the step up. We did not see the best of him, due to a poor manager, poor performances and then injury, he never really got going with us last season. Some have mentioned Diame on here, i would take Onomah over him every day of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westfield Owl Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I'd avoid signing Onomah. He was average for us last season. I recognise that he's got potential and we might have seen a better quality of output if he had a consistent run in the side. But we really should be binning off players that frequently get injured, not trying to tie them down to contracts. A midfield trio of Lee, Hutchinson and Onomah are always going to be at risk of picking up injuries. Why take that risk when there will be other alternatives in the transfer market? Considering Onomah's unimpressive season-long loan here, you would have thought we'd be relieved to have his wages off the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gob_Bluth Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 He exactly the sort of player we should be looking at. Young, masses of potential, good resale value if he impresses. So he didn't have exactly the best season last time out, but not many of the squad did to be fair. I also like how every is saying because he had an injury with us last season that he's injury prone, he played over 30 times for Villa the season before. Every player gets injuries, a few months out when he was here doesn't mean he's injury prone ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfcGibbo Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Difficult one. Looks a good footballer and is only 22. Played a decent amount of football at this level and also played a handful of games for Spurs. As mentioned above he's the type of player you should be looking to sign. He's English which means inflated potential resale value if he has a good season or two, strong and athletic. He's hit and miss but perhaps that is down to niggling injuries and a stop-start season across two managers. I certainly wouldn't be against this signing.

coopswfc76 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Thought he was very poor last season and a waste of a loan. However let's trust Bruce to do his thing due to his record of getting clubs promoted from this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddyowl Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Okay the lad didn't really have a run of games and may have suffered because of that BUT he showed flashes of being a very talented footballer, would be a great signing for us if we can get him through the door.

Lazy, weak in possession. Games just passed him by He’s done nothing for spurs, villa didn’t rate him and he was shiiite here Is it because he’s young and English he automatically must be good?

IstillhateSteveBould Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Can see the logic in signing a player like him. Young, bags of ability, good pedigree, potential resale value. Definitely some troubling aspects to his game though. Didn’t seem to be naturally switched on to the game around him if that makes. As if it was a real effort to stay switched on, track runners, anticipate where to be or when to press. You can’t really get away with that in midfield. I think we would need to become a team that dominates the ball and plays the game in the oppositions half for him to be effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
