Ogbene to Sheff Utd on 20:12 - Aug 31 by Kieran_Knows | Given the reported interested in Egeli from elsewhere, we only need 1 good year from him - and hope we’ve not had to succumb to a silly low fee release clause - and we should be making a whopping great profit on him. |
I hope so! I’m looking forward to seeing him play whilst also bearing in mind KM’s comments that we need to be patient with him. We need to find our rhythm as a team too if we’re going to able to give him a solid platform to allow him to play. When we had Hutch breaking through the team was stringer as a unit and that must help a young player if everyone’s on the same page. |  |

Well, they would say that wouldn’t they? |  | |  |

Hardly. The guy was quality - genuine place and a consistent performer. Career changing injury is hardly something anyone can be blamed for. |  |

It doesn’t add up. He’s already played this season. A few more weeks getting up to speed and he should be even stronger. Why let a rival team have him? |  | |  |

He's played but only when we had players who were refusing to play/ill and other players hadn't come in. Makes sense to send him out somewhere to get games. Where he goes may not be a rival team, according to Kieran there are various interested parties. |  | |  |

Maybe they know it’ll take longer than a few weeks? |  |

We have time and depth into that position to give them those weeks. It's not such a serious issue it warranted spending £12m on a Championship player to solve it, for me. |  |

I guess we’ll see what happens! I’m not used to us spending millions on someone and then getting another team to do their re-hab. Different times… |  | |  |

Not really his rehab, just getting him regular football as he makes his way back, which he's not going to get here. Going back, if I remember rightly, we did similar with Luke Hyam after he had a serious injury having previously been a regular starter under Mick. |  | |  |

I think it'll be PR'd in a way that he's off for regular football, but the reality is he's behind McAteer and Walle Egeli in the pecking order now. Not to mention the fact that he's far better suited to a team that counter attacks. |  | |  |

I just don’t see how Ogbene (or Burns for that matter) ever get regular games here now. That’s the best part of almost £30m spent on 2 new right sided players this summer. |  |

He won't be viewed as behind Egeli, think it will be a while before we see him making a start the way Kieran was talking about him yesterday. |  | |  |

A fully fit Ogbene is ahead of McAteer, I'd say. Indeed, he has been in the Irish pecking order. |  | |  |

Which, again, makes me think £12m on McAteer was ridiculously excessive. |  |

Obviously it’s going to take a while for him to get up the Championship speed but I doubt we just broke the record fee for him to have very limited minutes the next 3-4 months. |  |

With time added on our subs often get 30+ minutes per match which isn't 'very limited minutes' for me. Hutchinson was introduced this way until he got up to speed. A run of games like that until we get to the really busy period over Christmas would be a good run in to his first start. Unless he hits the ground running at full speed. |  |

Agreed and then you can stake a claim to start but no need to keep the hand break on if he looks really good either. |  |

Yep.... He is our 4th choice RW, completely unable to play in this system. I dont necessarily rate any of the players ahead of him (excluding SWE of course). Ogbene has no chance of playing here and tbh im not convinced he is as good as some fans seem to think he is anyway. |  |

Kieran stressed patience when talking about him yesterday. The Omari comparison made elsewhere in the thread is a good reference point. Omari hadn't played a senior game when he came here whereas Egeli's only played in the Danish league, which isn't particularly strong. |  | |  |

Worth pointing out he created our only goal from open play this season. |  | |  |

Yeah definitely. He's got high potential but has been playing at a level below the Championship and it's likely it will take a bit of time to adjust. With the expectations being so high amongst many of our fans I think it would be really easy for him to get written off as an expensive flop if he's thrown straight in and it doesn't work immediately. You only have to look at how people are writing Philogene off who to my mind is still coming back from a serious injury. |  |

Yeah, I think that’s smart to set fans expectation super high in terms of immediate impact but I think he’s going to be fine pretty quickly. |  |

Sending Luke Hyam to Rotherham for a few weeks hardly compares… And we didn’t spend £12m to replace him!! |  | |  |
