CoplandRoad83 3,251 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Was at the Player of the Year do and Mark Allen did say something along the lines of, 'fingers crossed we could have an exciting summer' which makes me think there may be something else lined up thats a bit higher profile, but that could be wishful thinking. To be fair tho, wasn't that long ago Aribo was being linked with Arsenal and Man City - if we pull it off as looks likely its a bit of a coup.

STEPPS BOY 73,915 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Would love a quality, proven number 10 but more worried about losing Tav or Alfie. Bobby Hume 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit, Kent may be a stretch but surely we will spunk some money on someone. Have you considered the club’s running costs and expenditure into that?

Tbf Ojo is/was higher rated than Kent and was part of England's u17 WC winning squad . Sure we don't know how he will take to the league but I'm sure we have an equal talent to what Kent is .

They could be revelations, but that would be surprising. Rangers_no1 and Ibrox_Nights 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fine, but Kent took a number of months to really start making an impact, and even then he’s more the exception to the rule that most loans we have turn out to be average at best. Be surprised if Ojo betters Kent’s contribution. Ibrox_Nights 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good on the wing but i thought he toiled when played as the Number 10 towards end of season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was done with him after the OF he got the red in. Softened slightly on that stance, but he needs his head screwed on. 55 is a must this year.

I think we are a better team without him. I recognise and appreciate his strengths and think he is a talent that we have been fortunate to have, but his card is marked in Scotland and I think it would be best for all parties if someone came in with an offer north of 14 million and let him go and grow somewhere else while we put the money to use on someone that doesn’t do daft we things that over zealous officials can’t wait to book him for If that doesn’t happen and we start next season with him battling Defoe for a starting slot then so be it.

It's the same argument that was spoke about all last season tbf, I've yet to be convinced that he's got a temper or is petulant etc. If he plays for the beasts there is no chance on this planet he gets sent off or even booked as much, that tells me all I need to know. scottyscott1963 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we found a formation that suited us, with Arfield getting beyond Defoe, when Morelos was out. I’d like to see us play that way with him in the side. Contributes more than Defoe.
