If he's a high earner then it's a good thing for him to move on. He's ok but you can easily get someone better in on the same wage. For me he hasn't shone. Good luck to him though

It's a bit like Tom Bolarinwa for me, seems a very nice chap and I was happy for him when he scored but watching him is kinda painful when maybe 1 in 30 times he has the ball he does something good with it. He seems physically strong and has some pace but I just don't think he has it in him to play at this level. Nothing against him but it sounds like we pushed the boat out to get him when he was playing easy football in Saudi Arabia for tons of money. I think he'd be better off somewhere like that or in China.

Shame if true....one player in the squad that could beat a man and then look up before he crossed it.


And when he played how many times did he do that?

My main memory will be the times he turned round in circles not knowing what he would do and the few times he tried to be clever but ended up passing the ball back and leaving the defence in excrement street.

Hardly ever looked like scoring a goal.

Not overly bothered he’s going. Looked an exciting player in the pre-season match I went to but in the games I’ve been to since he hasn’t done enough, IMO. Worth a roll of the dice but it’s not paid off and I wish him well.

I heard the club sent him for magnetic resonance imaging of his wrist to check his age and he's actually 47.

Can only think that the rumour he didn't work hard in training could be right, really had high hopes for Ogbu, gonna miss his goal celebration, even though we've only seen it once!!  


I understand he has a full range of celebrations, about 20, trouble is it will take 20 seasons to get through them all.

Not seen enough of him to pass judgement but we can probably do better considering he's one of the highest earners.

When did he get a chance ? Few opportunities for him in reality ......played very well on Saturday, held the ball up, brought others in...highly plauded for his Exeter away performance too in the same role...... we won both of those games.....coincidence ?

Did he not settle and therefore his application and heart limited his chances or did limited chances despite the poor form of others effect his mindset making him unsettled ?  

If he is happy to go then let him go but i liked what he could do and will be sorry to see him go.

We scored after he left the field at Mansfield.
