Where on earth is Jonathan Obika?!

[Schitzophonic]

Guessing he wasn't in Italy, isn't in LA. A couple seasons ago, he was with the first team in preseason playing the likes of Barcelona. I don't get why he's not with the first team, future with the club or not. Must be on his way out?

 

[myhartlane]

Very good question. Wasn't he out on loan to Yeovil?

 

[Spurger King]

Didn't he get released?

 

[eddiebailey]

No, he is still on our books - think he had his contract extended.

 

[Krafty]

When I saw him against Shaktar Donetsk many moons ago I was pretty impressed. Looked confident, thought there was talent.

He's done well at Yeovil but not exactly blown the league to pieces. At the very least we seem to be giving him a good chance of continuing his pro career, if not with us then at least in the leagues, which is something we have struggled with over the last twenty years

Never understood why we extended his contract, he has looked absolute garbage every time I have seen him play. Furthermore, most of his loans have resulted in fans of the said team, calling him all kinds of derogative things mostly about how it is an abomination that he is a professional footballer. Yeovil is the only marginally decent patch he has had..

Think he was caddying for Ernie Els at the Open

Agreed saw him at pre season when he scored didn't look that much worse than defoe or Pav

 

[Buster18]

Is he not with the squad in LA?

 

[Schitzophonic]

Not according to our TOUR ROSTER, DUDE.

 

[Kaboooom]

On his way to the conference, not good enough! Would like to see Townsend get a run of games myself, the one player from the reserves that i think has what it takes.

 

[DJS]

A future Yeovil legend in the making.

 

[Phischy]

From what I've seen he's extremely limited. I can barely see him cutting it as a pro, let alone in the Premier League.

 

[gp13tot]

We've helped the lad a lot, all those loan spells at Yeovil should see him get into their hall of fame one day!

Seriously though, League 1 is probably the height of his potential based on his performances out on loan in recent years so i am surprised to hear he has had a contract extension. Given our striker shortages if he had a chance of progressing to the first XI surely he could have been on the TOUR ROSTER to LA

 

[Schitzophonic]

OMG DUDE THAT WOULD BE TOTALLY BODACIOUS.
