Who?! He is a Nigerian "triallist" at the moment and played last night for the Under23's. Shone as the best footballer on the park as soon as he came on in the second half and scored within minutes easily whereas all our players were having difficulty against a good strong Burnley defence and never really looked like scoring. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinedu_ObasiWatch this space

Entirely agree. What did you think of Jan Kirchhoff? I thought he was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch (until replaced by Obasi). Ex Bayern Munich, brought to England by Sam and a big part of Sam's rescue of Sunderland. Let go by Sunderland at the end of last season because he is injury prone. He is a centre half/centre midfielder. I know the level is different at under-23 from Championship but he always looked cool, anticipated well and found a white shirt with his passes. Any news on Connor Hall's injury. He looked rather dazed coming off.

Beat me to it Natfan. I didn't know he was playing. Just saw on Sunderlands local rag that his is much regarded and missed. Plagued with injury it seems but could be what we need a defensive midfielder who can control the pace.

See that Kirchhoff has just signed. Great if he can keep fit. He's a class above the rest of the team. If we can get Obadiah too it will really strengthen us.
Great news 😊

Have we really been looking at Marouane Chamakh? Never rated him at Arsenal or Palace!

Just seen a few Obasi goals on the Tube. He looks a clever asset if we can get him, like an Okocha wannabe.. Hope he understands HOOF😂

Went to the game, played football and not hoofball, I was impressed with Jan Kirchhoff put in some great challenges.

just spoke to a makam mate who works for sunerland (his speak) he says this lad is good but has the bad habit of over stretching and thus gets soft tissue injuries , he says Fat Sam tried hard to cure the habit but with out mutch success they tried to tell him don't tackle unless your 100% sure of getting the ball other wise jockey seems it fell on deaf ears , time will tell .

Yes, Kirchoff impressed also Charsley. Didn't notice Flanagan was playing until too late but it seemed in the first half that they didn't want to pass to him on the right wing in acres of space. Haven't heard anything about Connor Hall but he was definitely suffering fro slight concussion - very unsteady and fell over just before he was shepherded off. on the far side of the pitch. Then walked very slowly all the way round to the tunnel past us, still looking decidedly groggy.

Omitted from yesterdays U23 team that lost to Crewe 1-0. Nothing said in press yet after the BN said yesterday he was "getting a second chance" to play in that game.
