    Tottenham Striker Jon Obika looks set to join us on loan until January. Apparently Brighton are interested but cannot offer guaranteed first team football. We seem the more attractive offer.

    Lets hope he is as good as the last player we had on loan from spurs!

    24 goals from 115 games.

    Sounds like a good addition wasnt charlton also after him would be a bit of a coup to beat off two championship sides

    Hope he's better than the last one we had, didn't Rose join just after Caulker?

    Caulker came in at the end of September? Think we had Rose at the start of September

    Rose was ****e.
    All he did was sit on the floor beating the ground because the ref didn't award him a free kick.

    Play a 1-2 up front with 3 in midfield

    Pack Reid Bryan
    JET
    Obika Baldock​


    Another striker would be able to take some stress off the midfield and 1 injury wouldn't ruin much. A 3 man midfield would give us so many options and rotations

    Don't say the K word, it's gone quiet at the moment, if SoD's reading he might remember him and pick him soon

    To be fair Obika has played his trade in league 1 most of his career. At 22 he clearly won't make it at Tottenham so hopefully a bit like wynter and Williams Obika will see that his career will benefit from dropping down the leagues

    Banksy it's OK Louis Carey seemed to lose the key to the doors although he was spotted apparently throwing something into the Floating Harbour

    Might be a useful addition. With Taylor injured we are light up front

    I cant see we would be 'guaranteeing' anyone football though, particularly a loan signing..

    We may not be offering it. Brighton cant offer he will play regularly. We only have 1 out and out striker in Baldock so he would have more chance of playing here than he would there.

    looks good


    studying the possession football from our games this year we are beginning to be on the plus side of 50% ( even 60%)by a good margin...last season less than in most cases... we have the ability now to play every match as a draw, 3 players up front capable of scoring will cause defensive probs for the oppos look at Coventry!

    It worries me that we would now have 4 players in on loan who are due to leave in January.
    What do we do then ?
    Also, these loan players are costing money, which would be better spent on the next bright young teenage prospect.

    When asked if there was any truth in the Obika rumour

    Andy Stockhausen &#8207;@AndyStockhausen 1m
    @BrisCFansTalk Just a rumour. There will be no new loans in before weekend and probably not for a few weeks yet.
