Not even 2 season ago either.Those stats look decent honestly and that's at Prem level.
I'd play Grimes in a similar position and dropping in less.So you’re playing Grimes higher up the pitch?
I just think for the profile at this level it’s a lot of money.

O'Hare was our last real ball winner. Hes always looked a bit scrappy, but always had a knack for coming out of 50-50s with the ball and finding a pass. Its something we've really lacked since hes gone. Under pressure he'd be the type to pick the ball up on the edge of our box, scrappily carry it 45 yards and win a free kick on the edge of theirs. Always looked clumsy doing it, but just found a way of coming away with the ball somehow still at his feet.We havent had one of those for a while. I cant currently think of the last one we had. Hamer was probably the closest.
if it were bta esse emc haji it would be betterJust think we’d lose a lot going forwards and not sure Rudoni on his own would pick all that slack up.

Yes people will look at his pass completion but to me he looks perfect, to either play in the 8 when we are against the tougher teams, or in a double pivot with Grimes.
I'm not convinced a double pivot is "ripping it up" anymore than playing a ST at CAM is or playing a back 3.

Thats slightly hyperbolic to be fair.They need someone feeding them. We can’t just play 604

If you’d like, I can also summarise:
- How Brentford fans view him
- His statistical impact at Augsburg
- Whether Augsburg might pursue a permanent deal (based on reporting)
Unsure what glazing meansTalkTalkNigeria.com glazing him lmao
More often than not, the CHs and full backs play to Grimes who plays the pass out of midfield. People saying Onyeka is shit at passing is pointless. We need tenacity. Away from home and in games we're leading and struggling to hold on to. In a double pivot, all he has to do is help the defence, win the ball, lay it off on a short pass to Grimes. Even Onyeka can win a tackle and sideways pass 10 yards to Grimes surely? You dont manage 3 seasons in the PL and over 40 intl caps for being dogshit. Honestly, the things people on here will turn their noses up at just to look edgy or ITK is astonishing!Not even 2 season ago either.

Exactly we need someone who can just have the energy to keep winning the ball.More often than not, the CHs and full backs play to Grimes who plays the pass out of midfield.

Didn't saddle say nothing would happen this side of Millwall. He's been away in the afcon cup so that adds upThe longer this one drags on, it makes me wonder if we have any legitimate interest or if it’s agent talk considering our position.
@Voice of brentford have you heard anything on your end?
Any player who’s been at AFCON won’t be finalising a move straight away. It’s no different to post-Euros and World Cup.The longer this one drags on, it makes me wonder if we have any legitimate interest or if it’s agent talk considering our position.
@Voice of brentford have you heard anything on your end?
No, he said after Millwall and probably before Norwich but nothing definiteDidn't saddle say nothing would happen this side of Millwall. He's been away in the afcon cup so that adds up
Pretty much what I saidNo, he said after Millwall and probably before Norwich but nothing definite
Apologies. Misread nothing for somethingPretty much what I said
No I get that but the only source being the daily mail is the worry. Be happier if some other source confirmed it as well tbhAny player who’s been at AFCON won’t be finalising a move straight away. It’s no different to post-Euros and World Cup.
Looks quite decent on the ball, he has an eye for a goal and he can tackle, what am I missing?Fair comments I suppose.
I haven’t seen Onyeka play so I am only going off the Brentford fans comments about how he is terrible on the ball or driving up the pitch but if defensively great. Which is basically Ebou Adams.
Stop believing people who make stuff up lol it’s embarrassingDidn't saddle say nothing would happen this side of Millwall. He's been away in the afcon cup so that adds up
Id rather no sources confirmed it apart from the club announcing his signingNo I get that but the only source being the daily mail is the worry. Be happier if some other source confirmed it as well tbh
Personally, I can't see it. here are some stats:Do you think there's any chance of him becoming a regular for you again?
If not, seems like a permanent sale would suit better and not sure we'll sanction that now.
A bit like a Lloyd McGrath then, who helped win us the FACup as part of a beautifully balanced skillfull and tough team.Hope to give you an insight on Frank Onyeka.
He gives 100% and will cover every blade of grass, and is particularly useful at playing a gritty game.
However, on the ball he is genuinely woeful, he has a first touch of a trampoline and absolutely no passing ability. Brentford very rarely get them wrong but we got this one quite wrong. With Grimes already in the midfield, Onyeka wont offer much else.
I try to watch your games on the telly but it is fairly hard now-a-days with our away games and trains being fucked afterwards. however what I have seen is you probably needed a 3 players to secure promotion: a winger (Esse seems to be the solution), a left back (Brau may come good later in his career), and a midfielder alongside Grimes., and perhaps even a striker (although wright may turn consistent and score enough towards the end of the term.) You need someone to drive the ball and have the ability to breach defence with quick passes. Onyeka is not that player, especially not for 8m.
good luck cov, on promotion.
Welcome to the dark sideWe have seen all season this system work. It seems silly to spend £8m to rip it up now.
Yeah, but if we're not careful, we could end up with a bunch of LouzasNot convinced by this guy at all. Brum can have him and we’ll find the next Hamer/Louza
Sheaf was always a good ball winner, his passing could be hit and miss but he was a very good ball winner.We havent had one of those for a while. I cant currently think of the last one we had. Hamer was probably the closest.
Really?Sheaf was always a good ball winner, his passing could be hit and miss but he was a very good ball winner.

Blunts are skint. We'll take both and they'll phone Doug to say thank you for saving their wage bill.The BBC reported a couple of hours ago that Sheffield United are also interested in him. That could be to replace Hamer if he is indeed off.
Cabbage face might even crack a smileBlunts are skint. We'll take both and they'll phone Doug to say thank you for saving their wage bill.
Wilder is very vocal if it looks like they will get 'good' players in, but because of their position in the league they aren't an attractive choice at present, and he has basically admitted he can't get him.The BBC reported a couple of hours ago that Sheffield United are also interested in him. That could be to replace Hamer if he is indeed off.
