I don’t particularly rate O’Nien, especially in midfield but his versatility (can play right across the back line), will be vital to us across a long season. I don’t want rid, yet.
Quite agree with that he needs a position which suit him and like Goochie AN see him as versatile. I like the lad but needs upgrading for midfield if l'm honest.
I'm not a fan of "squad players" which is what I think you are essentially alluding to. I think every player in the squad (and every signing we make) has to be able to impact the 1st team. I wouldn't be keeping O9 just because he can fill in all over the pitch - he's either good enough, or he's not. FWIW I think he could be a sold Championship level RB but he will never be a midfielder as long as he has a hole in his arse
Great stuff. Hopefully not the last one either (I've heard nowt else). It's the most confident I've been about SAFC for years.
I said about 2 weeks ago he was not coming back, and he is still not unless he drops his daft wage plan.
I suspect you have good insight. If there was not a stumbling block, which as you say is likely to be money. Either, him his agent (or both) digging his heels in. He would be here now. I would hope we had other striking irons in the fire. We now have a Stewart sub, we need a couple of fast box poachers to complement them. Personally I like Broadhead, but if he is playing silly buggers, with his injury record... move on.
