Transfer Rumour Frank Onyeka (35 Viewers)

[fatso]

He’s obviously made a difference but thought last night was a below par performance (other than the goal).

He gave the ball away multiple times in dangerous areas, gifted them a 1v1 and gave it away in the lead up to the pen too. Wouldn’t get away with it in the prem.

I thought he was poor last night, especially in the last 20 minutes of the first half, (still scored though) but that's hardly surprising considering hed just got back into the UK following international duty.

I did predict that he and Dasilva would be rested, so it was asking a lot for both to get through another tough game.

I'd think there will be changes for the Hull game, but its hard to second guess Lampard's selections.

Onyeka's performance dropped off last night after he got hacked down. Changed the game for the remainder of the first half. Was a bit surprised he played the whole 90.

We’ve just seen so little of him this season it’s hard to judge.

It would be so handy if we could secure the promotion/title as early as possible and use the remaining games to get a proper look at the likes of KKH, Markelo and even Woolf

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Yea but we’re a Championship side. Well see what the fee is but I’m not convinced he’s a good signing for next season from what I’ve seen so far tbh.

You thought he would be shite as a signing you helmet

 

[TomRad85]

He's been a fantastic signing, just what we needed and brilliant pick up by the recruitment team. He's really helped us kick on, I don't think things would be so comfortable right now if we didn't get him, thats for sure.

I agree. Surprising how little time KKH has been given, he doesn't always seem to have defensive discipline but he's showed signs of offering something a bit different when given a chance.

if it's what's reported (£8m) then I think that's decent for a CM that can be part of a newly promoted EPL squad. Not sure he's good enough for a first choice XI.

Agree but I do think he will be good enough, he didnt suit Brentfords style of play, however I can see us looking to play physical and counter attacking football

I absolutely love him. Athletic, covers ground so quickly and got flashes of real top quality. I actually thought he was unusually sloppy in possession a couple of times last night though, maybe due to International travelling/being away, the back pass when he put them through end of first half, lost ball before pen and once or twice nearly dropped us in it.

Having said that the goal showed all his qualities. The harrying to win ball, the pass, determination to receive return ball and finish (I thought he meant it but guess we’ll never know). What a signing !

Esse stroked pass to him was just begging to be hit and he obliged

Our fans may need to temper expectations somewhat i feel

 

[fernandopartridge]

I think Onyeka starts for us next season but that’s it for our CMs, we’ll need to sign better than him in the summer to go next to him.

Grimes and Rudoni are clearly players Lampard thinks a lot of, both of them will be first choice next season

Fully agree, we will look to keep the spine of the team together.

Think it's defence where we will see the money being spent, new LB is essential and at least 2 new centre backs.
