Transfer Rumour Obikwu to QPR (1 Viewer)

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Wonder what QPR have seen in him. Hopefully don’t find out next week

I think that's a good deal all round for all parties really.

They've got some injuries at the moment I think so I guess maybe he's a bit of a stop gap for now until players return, then they'll look to develop him.

If he scores against us on the 31st...

He won't be in the side.

Would we call this a success from our academy? Picked him up from non league at 17 years old, sold for half a million at 21 years old. I'd say it is a good case study, along with Sam Mccallum that we can turn non league players into league players with the right attitude, attributes and training.

Of course there will always be Bowe Bosma or whatever he was called

He could be

 

[Speedie's Head]

Good bit of business to get £500k if true. He's looked good when I've seen him in pre-season games in past seasons, but the club has probably progressed to a level out of reach now for him.

As others have said, I was expecting he'd be one who is released for free at the end of his contract

Yes, good bit of business. All helps the cash flow

 

[Samueljames1991]

Look after him x

 

[skybluegod]

It's a win win for all round, it's a low risk gamble for us to let him go, he has attributes to be a good striker but isn't going to get game time with us. But the sale probably funds the wages of Esse for half the season to hopefully get us promoted now. Not saying they are linked, but just all helps in the bigger picture.

Will be happy to see him do well.

 

[JSL]

He was out on loan so surely we werent paying his most probable meagre wages anyway

Really wasn’t expecting this. Have they seen something we should have seen?

Potentially a very good signing for QPR for not a lot of money.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Hope there's a clause he can't play against us next week!!

Honestly doubt he will be around the first team for qpr straight away

How many players have we happily let leave that have gone on to greater things?

Struggling to think of any in recent years.

I can’t think of any post league 2. Just seems so random that you wonder what’s being missed. Wonder what QPR fans think?

I have a feeling he will do well, we might live to regret this one

He's coming up to 22 if he was good enough for us he would have been more involved .

Wasn’t that about the age Wilson broke through?

 

[David O'Day]

If I remember correct isn't he quite a big and quick lad.

maybe QPR think they can coach him into being a better goal scorer

good business, 500k for someone who was likely leaving in a free in a few months

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

£500k to pay for a marquee Prem cm loan signing

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Think it was more the case that he's out of contract in June and QPR have offered him more minutes and a move that's near to where he grew up/closer to family etc.

 

[Potbellypig]

It's one for the agent to put on his CV.

The QPR press release says he is joining the first team squad after their match tomorrow

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

He won't be in the side.

He'll be on the bench

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

Fairly sure he will be a very good Championship striker.

Chaplin and JCH both went on to be quite successful elsewhere but we hardly missed them.

He’s already a big lad and from what I’ve heard some of his injuries problems have been related to his growth. Think he’s got enough to be a real handful in 3-4 years, and probably look a good striker at this level.

 

[ccfcchris]

The very best of luck to the lad. I hope he does well.

 

[Offhegoes]

Saw him at Stevenage in pre season 2024. He started and scored, and looked decent. Skillful, fairly quick and he's a big unit. He did strike me as slightly lackadaisical though. If he can't get minutes in League 1 he is not getting anywhere near our team this season. Perhaps we have a young striker lined up. if we lost 2 of Wright, Simms or BTA to injury at the same time we are going to need a back up striker from somewhere.

I'd say its very unlikely we are going to be in the market for a 4th choice striker.

It's 500k we wouldn't otherwise had, as suspect he would have been let go whatever happens end of the season. Hopefully has some sort of sell on incase he really progresses. Think he will be a decent championship striker - good news is we are clearly looking to not be at that level. Let's hope Doug backs that in the next 10 days.
