Let's hope this is true. He knows how to belt a ball on target and with both feet. If he is a quarter the player he was he will love it in this league. He has been valued at over £7million. £1.28 at the moment.

He has been valued at over £7million. £1.28 at the moment. And he was a wizard at one on ones so as none of our players have a clue at the moment, hopefully he will be able to coach them and show them how it's done. Brilliant penalty taker too. |

If the potential deal is financially viable it may be good for both player and club...it's hard to resist parallels with Big Sam and his procurement of players in their supposed twilight years, and although Odemwingie has some history of being difficult at previous clubs his experience and skills could be invaluable in terms of results and, as suggested by Pedro, the possible mentoring of our young players. He would surely be impressed with facilities at the Macron, it seems that he is willing to take a drop in wages to play in League 1, and if he has retained the sharpness that we were unfortunate enough to witness at Bristol City last season his signing would hopefully be a significant one for all the right reasons.

If it's experience we're after greydad, why do you think we didn't see the Leon Osman deal through? Was he too injury prone!! Or too costly? |

It could be either, or both, he too seemed a good option for the team's more immediate needs...he wanted to play in the North-West, and had always looked to be an intelligent, skilful player, but for whatever reason the club decided against pursuing a deal. Somebody with a bit of insider knowledge would have a clearer idea as to the reasons, but the club would surely need to be mindful of the financial implications of such a potentially expensive deal, even allowing for any drop in salary commensurate with League 1 status.... having played in the Championship recently Odemwingie might be closer to the Wanderers in financial terms, who knows?

Why the need to buy another midfielder when Derik is perfectly capable of filling the position Thorpe has played?

As much as it would be great to sign someone with genuine goalscoring ability I can understand a possible move for another midfielder..the overall improvement in performance recently is linked very much to the current midfield shape, and whilst Derik offers immediate, and seemingly capable cover for Thorpe, P.P. might think it desirable to find additional cover for the latter's unfortunate injury, especially given the regularity in which injuries are cropping up, as highlighted by Pedro.

I also think that we need to bolster midfield and add some real talent to provide for the strikers. PO may be a good striker at this level but he's not an Henry in his prime. He won't run past 4 and slot it home.
Get a midfielder who can create like Chung-Lee and goals will come from other areas.
Yes i know we can't afford Lee, Lee won't want to come back and finding a new Chung Lee with little money is not easy. Apart from that it's a no brainer right?

Never saw this coming off, the longer it went on you knew it wasn't happening I'm not too bothered. Personally if, as he says, you're playing for the love of the game then I would chose to finish my career with a promotion push rather than a relegation fight.

Apparently PO was on Sky Sports news saying that he has been talking to Kenny Jacket for a few months and the job was his if Jacket got the Rotherham job. That makes more sense than PP's bs.

Yes, to me too Pedro, PP certainly seemed surprised when told about it during his Sky interview after the Bury game. Clearly he wasn't aware PO had been speaking to Rotherham. To be honest, I'm not that disappointed he's not coming, I can't say that he's exactly been a reliable individual and the last thing we need is someone rocking the boat. I'm happy to wait for Clayton to come back and I also don't think we've seen the best of Keshi Anderson yet either so hopefully we do have options already in the club.
