    Looks a top signing for this level in the face of it.

    Whether anybody has any reservations or not, and its ok to be cautious, if he was signing for Wigan, Ipswich or Portsmouth today people would be losing their ****.

    one of those 'best for both parties' signing, the lad was good enough to get an 11m price tag on him but seemed to fall out of favour for a while, dont think injury helped...i think he could quite easily do a job in the championship but dropping to div 3 might give him an 'easier' start to his rebuild and if he helps us get promoted he is ready for the next step as well.

    i think he is very much what we have been missing, an attacking midfielder this could be a very fruitful signing for everyone.

    This is a very good point by the way. He'd have been a good signing had we gone up. Probably more as a squad option.

    If he can produce half of that then will be a good signing. Positive in every way, passing forward, dribbling, shooting (both feet) and arriving in the box late for crosses ⚽️

    Looks very good, I know it's only YouTube but looking forward to seeing him play.

    Just wondering if LJ's plans are O'Nien to play in midfield, then how many midfielders are we short?

    possibly one of the better youtube vids i have seen...ie: not all his passes or shots resulted in a goal.

    looks like he has a bit of a mean free kick/corner in him as well which could give stewart plenty to get on the end of.

    We need a decent holding midfielder now i think. I dont have much faith in Winchester, but attacking and creativity wise im happy. Embleton will be like a new signing aswell.

    I appreciate no transfer is guaranteed to work out and this one may not. But on the face of it it is a hell of a signing. He has shown real quality in the past. My family in Norwich say he was brilliant when he went there and though he was a premier league player. One thing I think Johnson has done well is get players performing individually. I hope he does it again here because we will have a player on our hands.

    This to me is a sign of the level of players we want at the club. Worth being patient if a few more from his level are coming.

    Definitely this for me. I'm more than happy to wait for better players rather than steam in and sign 'whatever we can'.

    Looking at his stats etc when he was younger... he was very good, but has been in the doldrums for a few years now. Let's hope he comes good again!

    He was born in Orsett... played golf there!

    Wouldn’t have been held onto by Spurs that long if he didn’t have some ability.
