With a decent pre-season behind him, does he have a future here?
I think if Wes moves on, he's a useful option. Not a starter. |  |

We will need better. An underwhelming squad player at best; I would prefer McAteer as understudy for the wide right role. |  |

Appreciate he had injuries at Sheffield United (in that lies the first issue), but he was one of six loanees and you can only have five in a match day squad. Ogbene was the one mainly left out. Couldn’t even make the bench.
We need much much better if we are going to survive. |  | | |

I thought he was just starting to look good when he got injured at Brentford, and he'd won the ROI player of the year I believe, so I think he's got a chance of being good for us | | | |

No chance, wish him well and he's had rotten luck but if he is anywhere near it then things have gone catastrophically wrong. | |

He certainly deserves a chance to convince Kieran McKenna he has a useful part to play. |  |

Not for me. I’d rather give Wes a 2 year deal tbh.
Hes one to take a hit on and move on imho | |

The right side attacking unit is an area which needs considerable strengthening. Otherwise opponents know they simply have to stop Davis/Clarke/Pilogene to render us toothless. Is Ogbene good enough to seriously contribute to that*? Don't think I've seen enough, even in his Ireland performances, to conclusively answer yes to that.
If injury fragility is (or has become) an issue, we can't afford to carry that, particularly in a player who might be playing more of a supporting role.
* Both Burns and McAteer have explosive energy and a willingness to shoot. Either of them coming on for the last 20 minutes are liable to constitute a threat. |  |

Probably Not. Like many just not good enough. | | | |

Not for me Clive. He's a decent Championship player, no more than that IMO. Never has been, doubt he ever will be. No shame in that either, but he wouldn't get in any other squads at PL level and shouldn't be in ours. |  | | |

No. Good athlete. Poor end product. That’s been the issue his entire career, nothing has changed, he’s at least one level below where we are.
If Johnson left, and we brought in someone ahead of Furlong, then football wise that might work, as third choice.
This is the problem with signing players on premier league salaries though - financially sacrificing quality for depth hasn’t worked.
If our third choices are on premier league money, and never add value, that stops us paying more to starters who DO.
Our fringe players should be young and developing, who cost a lot less and have a greater asymmetric upside.
In a 60 game EFL season. Rotations that don’t reduce the quality, has worked incredibly well for KM, in the premier league, it meant lits of players not good enough, not adding value, taking resources from the starting 11 that needed MUCH more quality and investment.
Can McKenna do what he’s never done?
Three or four huge quality players, no misses, all starters. All paid above our ceiling, and depth should be a younger profile.
Jen’s is a good example. V good player. Cost a fortune to be third choice CDM and that was a huge resource for limited added value.
We can’t do the Ogbenne, McAteer, Johnson, Jens profiles if they’re going to be third choices.
What’s Johnson on - £50k a week? There’s no wonder we couldn’t move him on.
That’s a lot to be third choice in the EFL .., imagine if we had a younger hungrier third choice, and had £50k a week extra for a strikers salary etc
It’s VERY different profiling a squad at this level to the EFL, hopefully the lessons have been learned. | | | |

It’s a no from me. Before he was injured it was clear he was quick, but I couldn’t see any end product.
Assuming Wes goes I think we are going to need somebody on the right to challenge McAteer or hopefully offer more. |  | | |

No, we couldn't wait to ship him out last year even though he started season in the team - he's just not close to being up to what we need |  |

Such a poor signing. Strange one. | | | |

I could see the logic, didn't have an awful year with Luton and has the physical attributes we'd require to play on the counter and to get up and down the pitch.
But then he got crocked so his best attribute was gone... |  |

I hope not. | | | |

I may be a little biased (Cos he was born in Lagos)
Hope so - if he still has his pace - he can come good. |  |

Nogbene rather than Ogbene  | | | |
