Ogbene on one side. Philogene on the other would have been amazing this season.

We can recall him in January. He's only there to get fitness isn't he? Although we do have a lot of cover on RW. |  |

No recall option.
Bizarre. |  |

I thought id seen somewhere we can call him back in January. Is that right?
We loaned him out to get games to build up his fitness ( which makes the Jan return make sense) .... if its for the season, id say its a mistake, because there's absolutely no guarantee that Burns will return to the player he was pre ACL injury.... |  |

Nope no recall
Said at time it was ridiculous now even more so.

Such a baffling move. I thought he looked bright in his cameos at the start of the season. So to not have a recall is bizarre. Surely a fit and firing Ogbene would be someone we'd want for the run in! |  | | |

Strangest decision ever to send him out and get in McAteer. Were we worried he would break down again? [Post edited 24 Oct 15:25]

Might be one of, if not the worst piece of business we've ever done. Dropping £12m on a player who isnt as good as someone we already had and sent out on loan.. baffling. Isnt like Ogbene is a bad egg either.
We've spent £30m on two right wingers who currently have 0 goal involvements so far this season. |  | | |

Nah. Otherwise we'd have added a recall once he proved he wouldn't.
Imo it's a financial reason. Saves a % on wages whilst KM was requesting we bringing in mcateer whilst ashton wanted egeli. | |

We've not really utilised him as a WB or FB so it might be unfair to compare?
As a RW, we have better options right now. |  | | |

Ashton doesn't make buying decisions when it's in terms of identifying players.
Why do we keep pushing out this narrative? | | | |

Yeah, I'm not really sure it's a massive surprise that Ogbene is better offensively than a load of Championship full backs given that he's primarily a winger. |  |

Yes exactly, let's see how he would compare to right wingers. |  | | |

I bet Leicester couldn’t believe we were paying that much for him. Shades of Risdale overpaying for players all those years ago. What a mess. |  |

McAteer, Egelli, Phylogene, Clarke and Burns returning are 5 reasons we loaned him out without a recall...
We don't need a 6th option for RW.
Don't think Ogbene is any better or any worse than some on that list.
But squad needed trimming after the window.
We've got enough RW talent in the building.. KM needs to start getting a tune out of them. | | | |

Who do we have that is better, or rather more effective? Egeli looks raw and needs guiding/managing through this season. Plus he is a different type of RW, more in the Omari mould.
Our success has come largely with a direct, powerful, pacy RW. Ogbene is the closest we have to Burns. McAteer looks utter turd. Unbelievable we sent Ogbene out and bought him in at a cost of £12m! [Post edited 24 Oct 15:51]

....the only thing the Bristol City fans were right about when it comes to Ashton.
They basically said that he gets over excited then given ay cash and that he wasn't to be trusted.
Ringing true at the moment, and not just in respect of Mcateer. | |

I don’t disagree that the Ogbene to McAteer change is baffling….. but is this just based on failry subjective ratings rather than any actual performance data from this season? |  | | |
| Wish I hadn't seen this .. ogbene on 16:07 - Oct 24 with 1884 views | bsw72 |
Without understanding how the ratings are given, this is not really very useful. |  | | |

I thought Osayi-Samuel gave us a tough time. 😂
This may or may not provide solace: he's a 5 or 6 out of 10 for Blades fans on their forum. I'm uncomfortably aware of the money we spent to up/down-grade him, and what out of 10 his replacements may be on our forum currently, but Ogbene hasn't dazzled in the eye test so far. Also in a McKenna team we'd need the winger comparison graphic. | | | |

Apparently he is not very good, I saw him do more for 20 minutes against Southampton that I've seen from McAteer in a few months. Its hard to know the thought process sometimes. |  |

Those are all full-backs and wing-backs, this graph is not relevant to the points mostly being made in the thread. | |
