Sibierski Posted August 8, 2025 Share Posted August 8, 2025 He will hopefully be going on loan at end of window. He’s 3rd choice in all positions and guy needs to actually play regular football at his age to develop his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd expect a bit more end product for the amount of time he's had on the pitch. 10-15m is nothing these days...the makems got 15m for Jack Clarke and he was a demonstrable disaster for Ipswich. 20m now is the 4m from 1998....gets you a non scoring striker, a half.competent midfielder, a semi respectable defender or a decentish keeper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is what you pay for an informed gamble - which is what Osula was. He’s a long way off it at present, and the chances are he doesn’t get much better from here. He desperately needs loaning out to a lower level club - and I’m not convinced that the second division isn’t too high a level at the moment, despite plenty suggesting ‘the Championship’ as a destination. Give him six months at a third tier club and see if he can score goals and get some confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, my impression is that he's just not a striker, he just doesn't have the instincts nor the deftness. As soon as he went out left he looked more comfortable and his attributes became more useful. Loveable character, but he's a long way to go in a relatively short period of time if he's to make it here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't look like scoring goals or even getting in the right positions to score them, that's the issue. He's a nuisance otherwise, but so many loose aspects to his game. Neave looked more focused when he came on, he was looking for goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youre actually suggesting we will improve a player we got from the championship by sending him on loan to league 1? Wow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 8, 2025 Share Posted August 8, 2025 I thought he looked better in the middle than on the wing like, have to say. He struggled to impact the game but we also didn't look like we had a plan to get chances for him. He did manage one nice run and shot which their keeper saved down low. Wasn't a good performance like, he didn't impact the game much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Yes, I am - he didn’t exactly pull trees up in the old second division. Send him to the old division three and see if the lad can smash it out the park.

Menace Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 I've never seen it with this kid personally, but still his fee was £10M rising to £15M which I doubt has been achieved. If it doesn't work out a team will take a punt on him. Stansfield went for £21M and he was playing league one last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 Haven't seen much of pre-season but little things like he'll stand at the edge of the area when the keeper is trying to kick it long, meaning he's sprinting back 40 yards to get back onside. He jumps for aerial balls that you can see he won't win, but gives away a cheap free-kick anyway. Maybe out wide will be better for him as I don't see a good centre-forward in him. Maybe he'll mature and grow out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 Send him to Holland or Germany on loan to wise up playing more regularly. Raw talent is there he just needs game time. Needs to score 15 goals somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
