    For sure, it would be a bit odd if he wasn't good enough for us but would be a regular starter a league up but it could be the case, I'm not sure what their squad is like.

    I wonder if Mowbray and Speakman have looked at him and thought the same and offered him a contract that reflects that, so that we wouldn't have a high earner sitting on the bench until required

    O9 would be a massive loss. Versatility and his personality on and off the pitch.

    I'd offer him a decent 12 month extension. Or even keep him around until next summer, even with the risk of him leaving on a free. By Jan we should have a good idea whether we're challenging for a prem spot, and can offer him better terms then, even with a release clause if we don't get promoted

    I hope O Nien doesnt leave. I like us to have a player who is the footballing equivalent of having a Swiss army knife kicking around the place. On the bench and a starting place every half dozen games please. He allows us so many options when we have to reshuffle.

    I’m not itk at all (I’ve only ever been given solid info once about di canio being manager called the lad a liar and thus lost my source :emoticon-0102-bigsm) but I know a lad who is pally with Luke and Dan Neil, he’s is incredibly grateful to play for us and knows we are likely the biggest club he will ever play for, no idea if the rumour is true but I’d image he’d see he’s contract out here minimum

    Ah I thought he'd met her up there.

    I know a few people that know him down here. Doubt they'd get any info so won't bother even trying. But I concur with what was said above that he apparently loves it here. But also has a determination to get to the very top.

    It should be his dream to play at the top and if he was to go I think he would leave with everyone's best wishes. Like you said mate can't see him going unless it was offer we couldn't turn down.

    This has just come from a rumour from someone on a message board. Going of the videos of them back in training he doesn't look or sound like someone who wants to be away.

    Very clever on his part to get people talking. Put the shirt on of a club that has quickly developed a reputation for young players to be at.

    He seems the kind of positive character who's going to act like that in every circumstance and environment he's in.

    But anyway - I don't think there's any question as to whether he wants to leave. The question will be purely around whether he has a potential only ever chance to play in the Premier League.

    The likes of Ballard, Neil, Clarke - they can all be confident they will play there either for us or somebody else. I don't think O'Nien can be as confident. His window of opportunity to get in the Premier League basically comes down to getting there with us, or going to a club like Luton who will find him an attractive proposition, more so than most premier league clubs would.
