Just an option to buy rather than an obligation

He came on for Marco Gabbiadini??
He’d have been about 50!

Re: Obafemi
Signing confirmed
Re: ARTICLE: Obafemi in loan move from Swansea
Good signing this. Interesting one with the option to buy.
Re: ARTICLE: Obafemi in loan move from Swansea
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.

Glad we've got this sorted even if it is just a loan for now.

I don’t remember such confusion when our Congolese Belgian midfielder signed in the summer to the tune of an American wrestling video featuring The Rock….?
Re: ARTICLE: Obafemi in loan move from Swansea
Exactly this and seems like a perfect deal to do exactly what you've said. Good work by the club.

Re: ARTICLE: Obafemi in loan move from Swansea
Both Barnes and Jay are getting on now, and Tella might yet be recalled by Southampton, so no harm in strengthening our forward line.
Sensible of BFC to get an option to buy, if he scores a hatful between now and the end of the season then great, however if it doesn't work out we can then move onto other options in the summer.

Re: ARTICLE: Obafemi in loan move from Swansea
He's now got to prove his worth and earn himself a permanent deal, the lad has form for sulking when not being picked or when he doesn't get his own way, he's done this at both previous clubs Southampton and Swansea, makes full sense to me because we get to see what his personality is like before we pay for him

Re: ARTICLE: Obafemi in loan move from Swansea
Welcome to the club, I am sure it will be a good signing for us. Looking forward to seeing him and all these new players help us over the remainder of the season. Hopefully he can find some form again with us.
Its been ongoing for weeks now - so he is asking how long has it taken them to come up with that song/reveal. The song may be relevant(but i don't see it) but the fact that they end the video as they do - could be wrong but until that last bit its symbolic of the the time the media team have had to come up with it rather than the song itself.
I think the last line explains it.

Happy with this one. With Obafemi being only 5 ft 7, is he the shortest striker we've ever had?

Re: ARTICLE: Obafemi in loan move from Swansea
I think the option is better for us than an obligation. It gives him a massive reason to perform and allows us the opportunity to assess if there’s something better for us if we get promoted. Perfect move this.

Surely this means Dervisoglu will be going back?
Not really had much of a chance, but I guess we have to trust the manager when we're doing so well.

Re: Obafemi
I don't know if that is the case but Tarkowski at Brentford and Taylor at Leeds both apparently kicked up a fuss when they wanted to join Burnley. And little needs to be said about their attitude and performances for Burnley.dougcollins wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2023 7:39 pmHas this guy been refusing to play for Swansea?
If so, is that a good thing?
Some very harsh stuff being said about Obafemi and most of it based on gossip. Whatever the situation behind the scenes - he wanted to join the best team in the league and who can blame him?
He's very welcome. He'll improve us.

I'm sure CT meant Manolo Gabbiadini.After a long away trip Saturday an early Sunday morning typo is forgiven.
Hopefully this signing will up the firepower ever more to reach the PL asap BTW.

Re: Obafemi
The amount of credence that our fans give to the opinions of other fans of teams we've just bought players off is quite strange
Re: Obafemi
Sounds like he's spat his dummy out and sulked, let's not sugarcoat it. Not convinced he's good enough for the Prem, but I'll trust VKs judgement, he hasn't got much wrong so far.dougcollins wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2023 7:41 pmJust wondering what the reason was that he hasn't been playing?
Re: ARTICLE: Obafemi in loan move from Swansea
Happy with this signing. Looks strong, quick and can finish. We’ve good some serious attacking options.

Re: Obafemi
Fantastic sensible business from us, refused to over pay in the summer with Swansea demands so bided their time and ended up getting him on loan

Re: ARTICLE: Obafemi in loan move from Swansea
Not sure why. We could sign him now with an agreement for payment to be delayed until the summer. There could be other accounting or cash flow reasons for doing it this way, or maybe we want to take a risk-free look at the player before committing to a permanent deal - it seems that the option to buy is in our favour.Nonayforever wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 11:46 amPresumably if its a loan and we want to sign him in the summer that means we have no money ?
Re: ARTICLE: Obafemi in loan move from Swansea
Been reported from their end, and ours with Alex James, that the structure of the deal almost guarantees it will be made permanent.

We appear to have a lot of highly trained psychologists on this board, some are so good they are able to identify behaviour and attitudes in people even before meeting them or hearing them speak
