Oguchi Onyewu

Clint Hill has been replaced so many times over the last couple of seasons it is ridiculous, but there he still is, leading the team out onto the pitch every week. I understand your reservations about playing Hill and Dunne, but this guy will have to be special to keep Hill out of the first team.

 

Actually according to club website it should be ‘Guchi’, instead of "Gooch"

 

Happy

 

Agree, but having 2 "elderly" slowish CBs is not ideal, cant imagine there would be too many on here, that would not want Clint, running out every week.

But isnt it better, to keep both Clint and Dunne fresh, with a more mobile alternative.

But, yes agree (and here's hoping) that he is special - well pretty good !!

 

Nothing to say he's going to walk into the team. I see him as much-needed cover.

 

I said from the start Hill and Dunne shouldnt play together, they are both very old and the likelyhood of both staying fit for the whole season is slim. We should always only play one if possible and a quicker player to cover them.

I know its not a choice to play them together but now we have an alternative, we should use him to keep the OAPs fresh!

 

6'5 !! Bloody hell, what a lump. I'm quite excited by this one, he has a fairly glamorous list of clubs "played for" on Wikipedia. Schteve must have recommended him after his loan at Twente?

Do we know any contract details yet? A year long one would be just the job.

 

Just seen his QPRplayer interview, he seems a really articulate likeable guy.

 

We've just added one hell of a long throw to our attack too. @1.57

According to West London Sport he only has a 3 month deal.

 

Gets us to the Jan window and he has to do well to earn a contract for the rest of the season. Wed have given him a three year deal under Hughes.

 

Signed!

 

Many thanks for all the good info Nines! A quick cb is exactly what we need. He's a well qualified cb at least!

 

...or we can sign Samba again.

 

He's a big guy, a real force.
A good player to put in the rotation.

 

He's going to slide in and get sent off
He should be able to throw it from one side of the ground to the other though

 

Chijioke, means Gift from God so you never know.

 

Thanks for video Grifter, my oh my, he looks good.

Long throws ?? eat your heart out,... Rory

Problem is he cant take the long throw, AND get his big noggin on it.....damn

 

I have met Oguchi and he is a good hard working lad. Injury problems has meant he has never been the same, but a great ambassador for the future of the game, and worth hanging onto for after retirement in a coaching role I think... Always had a great amount of respect for a player who did something I've not heard of before, which is play for free because he collected a salary the previous year when he was injured. Good luck to him!

 

Thanks for that Rhino2 (we already have a BushRhino here, popular beast). Are you really a 25 year old head teacher? Well done if yes, but there is something disquieting about that for us old fogeys. Slipper or cane man?
