Omar Sowunmi

Just announced it on their twitter page.

Was looking forward to him and Ohman as a pair but obviously not meant to be.. Rather have players who want to play for us

Shame 😜

It's a real shame after reading we was rumoured to be signing a player today, gutted we have lost out.

This is a problem we have players based down south aren't prepared to move up North, I don't blame him all is family based in Colchester easy move for him to make

Instead of uprooting all the way up North.

We have it seems lost out at the last minute, I hope Jolley has other players on his list because there was a big effort went into getting Sowunmi.

I can imigine Jolley being very gutted about now feeling a bit sick after losing out on him.

I can see the Wilson lad ex Lincoln being a target now, we need a couple of centre backs in with Whitmore leaving.

A quote from One Football Forum from a Yeovil fan:

"Good luck with him, you'll need it. 6' 7" but has struggled badly over the last couple of seasons. Makes mistakes quite a lot. Has had 3 serious ankle injuries in the last 3 years which meant he only played 87 games for us in 4 years."

Injury prone and excrement apparently haha

There's a lot of this around. Obviously there's always some sour grapes, but with most of our recent signings (esp Green) these have been balanced with positive comments. I've not yet seen a positive from Yeovil fans.

Just looking at the stats mentioned on here previously and his performance against us last season he seemed like he would be a decent signing. But I guess if that is the main view from Yeovil fans they are probably right.

Never forget the Vale fans telling us how shocking Sam Kelly was. Never seen a player who so obviously seriously feared any sort of physical contact as that guy.

Sometimes it's justified criticism and sometimes not. In this case though they were so so right and he's had a bad review from fans of any club who have had the misfortune to feature him in the first team. I think the only players worse than him to ever put on the shirt were Tommy Forecast and Adam Buckley....Maybe I'm being unkind to Adam Buckley.

Not sure why so many people are upset on apparently losing out with this one (do we know for sure we were even in for him, or has it just come from Twitter Chinese whispers). He was relegated last year, and also only managed 19 appearances.

He might be decent, who knows…I Hadn’t even heard of him until about two weeks ago. But it’s not the be all and end all.
