WalthamOwl Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Injured for a fair bit of time he was with us. Didn’t look bothered in the majority of other games. To spend “millions” on him would be a mistake imo. Would only bring him in on loan at the most personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I think he has the potential to become a really good player with the right manager. Bruce might just be that man. Remember we only really saw him under throw and even Eden Hazard would end up looking average playing for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsheri Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I'll be very concerned if we spend any £ on this guy. It will mean we've learned nothing from the past 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitcat Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Best midfielder in the galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Owl Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 This purchase would be different as there's good potential for at least making a small profit (assuming the fee is reasonable) - he's got the quality but as the article says he needs the consistency. If he develops and fulfils his potential it could turn out to be a very astute signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 If we had the budget of 3 seasons ago I would be fine with it, but surely we don't have much to play with so bidding £5 million (guess) plus is a huge gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneeyedmilkman Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Some very average young English players have gone for silly money in recent seasons. Longer term (depending on the fee) this has to be the plan - buy low and selling high. An England u21 international getting no where near the spurs team is not a bad place to potentially turn a profit on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 He’s the only one of the many we’ve been linked with, who really appeals Good age and pedigree, seems to have all the tools, and has worked with the manager before Yes, there are reservations about his consistency levels, but that is probably why a club like us could manage to sign him.

Owls77 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Was disappointed in the games he actually played last season, can only hope Bruce gets the best out of him! Edited May 30, 2019 by Owls77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogbad Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 You can see he's got the ability, but the energy, drive & focus were lacking for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's coming across that you have no faith in Steve Bruce. Do you think it's time we replaced him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agents probably see us as a soft touch. Edited May 30, 2019 by Mountain Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oz_owl Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Any story that quotes Noel Whelan as a "Championship expert"... However, if our ground has indeed been sold then we have money to spend, and multi-millions on 22 year old graduates from top Premier League academies is where some of our original transfer spending should have been targeted. Onomah has got the talent to be a really good player. Whether he achieves that is a different matter, but I would be happy if this is an indicator of the type of business we're looking to do - buying young players to develop, with resale value, is the way to go.

You seem less bothered about the player being injured most of the season on this occasion. Application would be the tool he seems to be missing and that’s a pretty key one.

You are talking about a club who have no idea how to turn a profit when it comes to selling players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
