Does anybody know why it's a loan?

Putting 2+2 together I’d say the Foster deal probably ended up costing us more than we initially thought which meant Obafemi was pushed back to summer to help with cash flow.

I've just read that we've just signed him on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season

Taylor and tarky did the exact same and they turned out well
Just had a similar convo on our Whatsapp group about his attitude ... They had forgotten Tarky and Taylor did the same at Brentford and Leeds respectively ... When I pointed that out they all went "Ohhh yeah"

Time will tell though 😉 ... got to give the lad the benefit of the doubt 🙂

We seem to be doing everything we were lacking before: being smart and proactive on the transfer market.

We’ve reassembled a complete new squad over the summer and have now considerably improved it.

UTC !

Seems like he was probably advised by his agent in the summer was closer than it actually was, it’s obviously going to play on someone’s mind, I think it’s a really good bit of business and relieves pressure on foster to hit the ground running

Tarkowski spat his dummy out and refused to play, according to the Swansea manager Obafemi has a good attitude and never refused to play, he's just not been at the same level due to our interest in the summer.

Just been reading some comments from Southampton fans who have no clue about any attitude problem with them. They said he always gave 100% every game and seemed a ‘cheerful soul’.

Doubt VK would have bothered if it was a serious issue . Some players do sulk a bit , it’s just football . He’s no doubt been brought in as a “ starter “ so let’s hope he proves a good asset as we’d got a real centre forward black hole forming .

Look at Joey Barton. Never a problem with Dyche and I expect the same with this lad.

Swansea forum saying Martin had fallen out with half the first team squad at one time or other and fell out with a few at MK Dons. MO could obviously have conducted himself better but I think there was a lot more to it.

You’d imagine Tella and Cullen would’ve been sounded out and put in good words too.

Swansea manager said only last week that he still had a really good relationship with him but, in any case, Tella and Cullen will definitely have had some input.

The complete deletion of Swansea related posts a few weeks back would suggest something happened, perhaps with the upper hierarchy, but I do think this bad egg he’s being portrayed as in some quarters is highly unfair and I’m massively looking forward to seeing what he can bring to the team.

Surprised we’ve moved for both Foster and Obafemi, but this loan situation appears to give us a chance to have a good look at him and assess whether he might have what it takes to step up a league next season.

Pace in behind is always an added bonus.
Not surprised in the slightest. Barnes is at the end, and going off performances so far, after a quite good start Jay isn’t far behind him.

Give it a month and foster and obafemi will be the starting pair up top when VK opts for a two.

Welcome lad, get amongst ‘em.

when we’re clearly in the market for forwards that will ultimately replace you, it’s not surprising that Jay’s effectiveness has dropped - it’s quite the milestone realization

To be honest, I’d be looking for a different reaction. Why not give VK a reason to stop looking? 🤔😳

Anyway, I reckon it’s all irrelevant really. VK will have already worked out what he wants and who he wants to do it, and both ash and Jay will be two big wages to get off the books.

That front four places has some real competition:-

Ok he’s not scored recently but don’t agree his performances have dropped off. One of our better players yesterday in a generally poor team showing. And unlucky not to score.

Whoever gave him no.45 has a sense of humour just sort of a p if he doesn’t buck his ideas up by all accounts.

Glad we are looking for players with pace after seeing some move slower than oil tankers the last few years.

I'm taking all that with a bucket of salt. Not so much an balanced appraisal of Obafemi, more a bitter rant full of conjecture, quite bereft of actual specifics. Let's give him a chance. We seem to have built a right sound squad where everyone is pretty lovable and even those on the fringes of the squad seem to be showing the right attitude. That doesn't happen by accident. Character references will have played a part in all that, and I can't see why that would be any different with Obafemi. For a relative pittance we've bagged a player for whom we had a bid of £10m rejected just a few months ago. Not bad business, that.

Totally agree. Kompany came in with tonnes of respect to his name. He's only increased that with every day that has passed. He's also being well backed by Pace, which gives him total power in the dressing room, and I get the impression he'd be quite happy to tell anyone who doesn't meet his standards of professionalism to **** off and find somewhere else to play. No one is bigger than any club, but we're in the very fortunate position where no player is bigger than the manager. You just need to read the Brian Laws thread to be reminded how a mutiny can arise despite the best intentions of the manager if, like Laws, the manager doesn't command respect.

I’m not against this but don’t particularly understand it. Foster is surely first choice as a proper all round forward. Obafemi doesn’t seem like someone who can play up top on his own either. Don’t see where he’ll play or where he’ll fit in.

Re: ARTICLE: Obafemi in loan move from Swansea

Looks a cocky so and so, was bigging himself up a lot in half jest in the interview. Looks like he could have a bit of arrogance about him but we are loaning then buying him not to be an office boy but a Premier League striker, and they need a bit of that.

I suspect Kompany is the kind of guy to handle that personality and get the best from it. We are now a club dominated by a manager like Ferguson did at United, Kompany’s profile is huge and bigger than any player. Fascinating to watch that play out.

I’m not against this but don’t particularly understand it. Foster is surely first choice as a proper all round forward. Obafemi doesn’t seem like someone who can play up top on his own either. Don’t see where he’ll play or where he’ll fit in.
Just an outside chance but VK may have an idea about where he will fit in….

I got sidetracked by the line about "the players who made Swansea great". I was hoping he would name names, because I don't have any answers!
Toshack and Saunders probably the best.
