What a fascinating, deep, insightful highly professional article that was, giving a glimpse into the mind and life of a professional footballer and the trials and tribulations they have to go through on a daily basis to do something that we fans take for granted as to what must be a "dream job".

Manager changed
Player got injured
Player out of favour
Player left

Jeez.

Nothing at all in there that wasnt known, Holloway alluded at the time he didnt see Ogbu as a player that fitted his requirements if i recall correctly.

Quoted from Kris2
Seems he thought a lot more of himself than anyone else at the club did. Struck me as another Tom Bolarinwa, some good raw attributes but didn't seem to have the fitness and footballing ability to do well in British league football. A nice experiment that never worked out.


" At first it was great, i had a massive apartment "...... speaks volumes.

I liked him, enjoyed watching him.
There were certainly worse players.

My opinion is he was better than Green, least he could keep the ball

If he told Holloway he was the best player in the team then he probably figured that isn't good for the team spirit.

Better than the one dimensional Green.


You can't say anything negative about Green. I made a joke about him and everyone had a humour bypass.

Didn`t think he was too bad, but didn`t meet the requirements that was needed by Holloway. Fair enough.
Having a lot of success in the Swedish "Premier League", Allsvenskan though.
Look here: [url]https://www.topscorersfootball.com/allsvenskan[/url]

Remember that Sweden almost always qualifies as a team for the larger tournaments, so the level of football isn`t too bad. Probably around League 1/2 level.

I thought he was alright and offered something with his strong hold-up play and unpredictability.

He was apparently on big money though and I thought at the time we released him that this was probably the real factor in Holloway wanting him out. To free up some funds for him to bring a few in.

Definitely seen worse was entertaining and unpredictable if inconsistent with a lack of end product and a liability around his own box

There’s a reason any half decent Swedish players quickly exit their league . And there’s a reason players like Ogbu and that left back go back there .
