| Ogbene 10:35 - Dec 28 with 2003 views | Zx1988 | Given the claims by Alan Nixon that Chieo isn't in Wilder's plans, what do we reckon Town's stance is? He looked decent for Eire a couple of months back, and would be a step up on a clearly-deflated McAteer. But, with Burns back and Sindre looking good (notwithstanding the suggestion that he's bound for the 10 role), I can see that MA and KMc might not see him in their plans either. Could Chieo play for another club this season? Or, if we don't want him, is it more likely to be a case of holding Sheffield to the terms of the original loan? |  |

£40m on three right sided attacking players, appreciating Egeli could play elsewhere. And Clarke and Philogene as options, in theory, too! Plus big wages on two right sided free-transfer full backs. Plus Furlong. And Harry C. And the right-hand side is clearly still not working as we need. Not creating enough. Not enough goals. Not attacking with gusto, like we see on the left. Solid defensively though. If we can get the blend right (pun intended) in the second half of the season then I think we will be unstoppable. If !! |  | |  |

| Ogbene on 11:16 - Dec 28 by StokieBlue | In Phil's article: "However, having played for both Town and the South Yorkshiremen this season, Ogbene cannot play for a third club in 2025/26." SB |
It is a harsh rule re rights of employment, though the reasons are valid. |  | |  |

| Ogbene on 11:45 - Dec 28 by Garv | If McAteer could find a good loan it could happen, but it's a risk. Ogbene is injury prone and McAteer is fit most weeks (and not as bad as made out). Also, I keep seeing that Walle Egeli is 'looking good' but I'm not totally convinced of that yet. A few year's time yes, but if he's first choice for the rest of the season I'll feel a bit uneasy. We're asking so much of Philogene and Clarke for goals. |
Sarmiento hasn’t started any games in Italy and was an unused sub in last game. |  |

| Ogbene on 12:46 - Dec 28 with 254 views | RIPbobby | If he plays like he did for Ireland against England then he is in. But our system seems to take something out of our stars and they become shadows of their former selves. So most likely no. You never know we might mix our system up and the under performing will find their best. But unlikely. |  | |  |

| Ogbene on 12:08 - Dec 28 by StokieBlue | I don't see him as being ahead of Egeli. McKenna didn't think he was good enough for a place and now Wilder doesn't think he is good enough. We need to persist with Egeli or move him central, the upside is just so much better over the longer term. SB |
I don’t rate Ogbene the same way I don’t particularly rate any of our right wingers that’s why I’d sign one. But if Sheffield United aren’t going to use him he doesn’t make our squad any worse and gives the team some much needed pace even if it’s off the bench. |  |

I do wonder if something has gone on there, whilst he was injured he became our 'Community Champion' then in the new season, he's sent to Sheffield, because there was seemingly no guarantee of minutes with us following the signing of Walle Egeli and McAteer. |  |

Not so much rated, we liked the look of him when he was purchased but probably a case of our medical team not believing he will be the same player as he was before the injury. |  |

And I still wonder why the heck we signed McAteer and let Ogbene go. Did something happen behind the scenes as otherwise it completely lacked logic when we had £12m to spare and could have done with another midfielder in Matusiwa's mould, a striker or a covering centre back. The last thing we needed to do was muck around with the right wing. The only possibility is Ogbene asked to leave for first team football but, if so, I'm surprised McKenna hasn't come out and said it. He didn't hold back when it came to Woolfenden. |  |

I imagine that we let Ogbene go because he had limited impact for us last season before his njury. To then suffer a season ending injury, the jury is seriously out on him. The issue isnt the Mcateer signing more the fact that hes had an underwhelming start with us |  |

Think it’s simply that he’s not very good. |  | |  |

Ogbene is still employed and gets paid although I'm sure he wants to play. He has another 2 years left on his contract so I don't know what we will do with him in the summer. Could be a free transfer and a pay-off. |  |

Not great knowing you are completely marginalized at work though. I would want out if I was him. Somebody will buy him in the Summer, will be very cut-price though. Millwall or Charlton maybe. |  | |  |

| Ogbene on 10:59 - Dec 28 by GlasgowBlue | Me neither but we registered 4 right backs. I think that Johnson, H Clarke, Baggot and Humphreys go this window, whether on loan or permanently. If we get in a midfielder I wouldn't be surprised to see Jack Taylor go. Probably one more who we aren't even thinking about. |
Jack Taylor has just signed a new contract. Can only see him moving for a stupid offer |  |
