Militant Canary 0 Posted May 29, 2012 Apparently, word is spreading that we have either had a bid or signed him outright and its due to be announced later this week.Be a good purchase, if true. He is a 25-year-old midfielder for Valerenga and Nigeria. He specializes as a defensive midfielder, but can play as an attacking midfielder, behind the striker, as well as a general central midfielder. VERY strong, VERY quick. Strong tackling and has a good pass. Don''t know if there is any truth in this, but have been told that its a fast spreading rumour by somebody and thought I''d pass it on.

Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted May 29, 2012 Interesting.. seems strange signing a foreign player, its been a while hasn''t it! I guess we have to due to premier league prices, surely Ogude would find it hard to blend in around a bunch of English speakers basically all originating from Britain, Lambert has a habit of signing one or more players from the same club; Leeds, Colchester, Brighton for example, so if this is true then can we expect further activity of a similar nature?

And probably uses it in Norway, unless he has learned to speak Norwegian. And this would help to explain why McNally was in Norway at the weekend. But it equally may be a nonsense rumour.

Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted May 29, 2012 He seems really solid - and we could do with a bit of strength! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=876eHJAY5Lk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smooth 114 Posted May 30, 2012 Quite simply we need a strong, physical, tackling, general in our midfield and Europe there are plenty of young players that can fit this bill to start alongside Howson or in a midfield three with Surman or Johnson. We need a midfielder and I have no problem at all in looking to Europe, I do belive that unless you are getting young squad players from the prem, then Europe is your best bet. Cheaper and so eager for that chance here in the premiership. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy_Bones 441 Posted May 30, 2012 2+2 = 198 apparently...Not really heard anything even vaguely substantial about this, and would be a very big step up from the Norweigan league as well.Not saying it''s not true, or that the player isn''t potentially good enough, just very dubious on both at the minute.
