    WOULD YOU BELIEVE HE IS STILL ONLY 26!!

    he only just reached his prime, he was 24 when he left us, he was my favorite player when he was in black and white and he's better than anything we have now apart from carrol, and with his pace would be perfect to play off carrol, i still cant belive birmingham have got a gem like oba.

    you can't hate a player just becuase they left a relegated team to play championsleague football, mike ashley basically fobbed him off becuase he was our most valuable asset.

    i love oba and i always will, my generation of great newcastle player - martins, milner, shearer (out of his prime) oh yeah and HBA

    This is why people hate him:

    As said. If he said he wanted to leave as he was a young developing player, fair enough, but he didn't.

    We must have made near £10m from selling him.. I would much rather have had that cash and him off the wage bill than had him in WTCTSDTD.

    I would argue that he was probably asked to leave as soon as a decent offer came in.

    He was too inconsistent and didnt have a footballing brain. Good bit of business if you ask me

    Didn't he also suffer a dead leg on his debut ? Sure it was against Villa. But, when on form he was trouble for any defence ! . . . And we didn't make 10 mill we actually bought him for 10 mill, then sold him on for 9 mill

    Loved the guy. Little Oba. What was not to like? He had pace, power and style!

    Then he became a smaller version of Ameobi..

    He will score against us if he plays. Hopefully he'll feign injury, or score an own goal double agent style (double-oba-seven? - i'll get me coat)

    I quite liked Martins, hope he does okay there... not again us, obviously. Which he will, though, you know it. We've still got 'em twice as well.

    I liked him, didn't he score an average of 1 goal every 3 games for us?

    I think I heard that somewhere. Which is pretty good to be honest.

    Was criminally overated by most people. Lazy and inconsistent. He was actually painful to watch his last season here, Xisco would have been a better option.

    Hated the guy, was far too inconsistent and clearly here for the money, I put him in the same category as Duff, Owen, Milner, Geremi, Viduka etc... all here for the money and couldnt give a flying **** about the club.

    Birmingham are welcome to the guy.

    On his day.. a class act & could be near unplayable.. but on his ''off-day'' he might aswell not have bothered to be on the pitch, just way too inconsistent.

    Still miss him though & a partnership with Carroll would be very interesting to see!

    Have a feeling he will score not once but twice against us & be the MOTM!!!

    Martin's was brilliant. His pace off Carroll would be amazing, gutted we never got involved.
