An odd signing. Contract will run down, then what....? India, China... a similar path to Pennant? 18 starts in over three years. I never really understood making him permanent, and then extending his contract. Perhaps he contributed more in training/behind the scenes as a player used to Sparky's methods. Helped with the transition etc? Still only thirty, but not really showed any of his early promise for what? five years. Some crisp one two's but not much else imo. Can't really see where he'd fit in for us now. Allen, Bojan, Shaq, Afellay and that. Finish the recovery and move on. |

We had to make him permanent to free up a January loan move as we had a full loan quota Odimwingie I think ? |

Nah we swapped Odemwingie for Kenny J. We signed Ireland to free up 'space' for Guidetti. That's one of the reasons why I never really took to the decision. I don't think he did enough on loan to justify the permanence, at what was rumoured to be amongst the higher wages. And don't think he's done enough since to justify another extension. |
