SuperMikey Posted 14 January, 2010 Share Posted 14 January, 2010 Great signing imo, just the kind of player we need at RB. He's bloody quick as well. Now we just need to wrap up some kind of attacking signing over the next week or so and I shall be extremely happy with this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintray Posted 14 January, 2010 Share Posted 14 January, 2010 Very good news, Experienced in this league. A right back only 26 still time to improve! Wasn't expecting this!! Proffessionally done, where was all the itk's on this one aye! Well done Mr. Pardew!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 14 January, 2010 Share Posted 14 January, 2010 He's a handy player, an attacking wing back if anything - but is prone to odd lapses. will expect him to go straight in at RB, which james moving into midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ottery st mary Posted 14 January, 2010 Share Posted 14 January, 2010 Why did Norwich want to get rid of him Because they signed a RB from Peterborough called Martin on less wages than JO....who is ex Liverpool youngster and was injured earlier..so hopefully fit and will do us proud down the RB and right side.

sfc4prem Posted 14 January, 2010 Share Posted 14 January, 2010 CRACKING signing, it reminds me of a certain signing at the start of the season of a lad named Dan Harding.

saintbletch Posted 14 January, 2010 Share Posted 14 January, 2010 Hmm, one worrying comment in the OS article that might rule out further CM signings (Danns, Stock). Otsemobor's arrival will provide immediate cover for Graeme Murty, who is currently on the sidelines through injury and is not expected to return to action for another three weeks, whilst it should also allow Lloyd James to challenge for a more natural midfield slot in the side. As LJ's best position is arguably CM, does this mean we're no longer looking to strengthen there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 14 January, 2010 Share Posted 14 January, 2010 Is this a cheeky signing...The Norwich fans are split on this one......Hope we have not dug ourselves into a hole.....Boom. Boom. Welcome JO COYRs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 14 January, 2010 Share Posted 14 January, 2010 Given that their fans don't seem to rate him & he's out of the side at the moment, I'm guessing this must be the player who's not having a good time at his current club?

norwaysaint Posted 14 January, 2010 Share Posted 14 January, 2010 Reading that forum they seem delighted to have gotten rid of a fairly poor squad player on inflated wages... Hope he has a new lease of life for us, because we've already got a few overpaid squad players. Mind you, he was free, we just need him for a while and it's only a 6 month contract, so it sounds like a reasonable punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As LJ's best position is arguably CM, does this mean we're no longer looking to strengthen there? I would be confused and a bit upset if we signed all these defenders and no midfielders. To me the midfield balance is the main problem for out squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a no risk transfer. If he doesn't shine then James or Murty will play RB and Ostemebor will sit in the reserves untill the summer and be released.

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 14 January, 2010 Share Posted 14 January, 2010 No risk in a 6 month contract. If he's cr@p, he's cr@p, and we release him at the end of the season. Nicely done guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
