It's only preseason but he's fit again and has scored in 2 straight games. Very happy for the boy. Hopefully ROHR gives him a look soon. He think he can solve some that left side problems we have and bring strength to the mf. :clap: :clap: :clap:

how long has he been un injured for ?

I dont trust Joel Obi.

Its a shame because there are few of our current midfielders who are as good as the Joel Obi I saw under SSS.

But I will expect him to be out injured soon. :cry:

If he is healthy I will take him over Echijele at LB any day.

Also in the MF spot only Mikel, Onazi, and possibly Ndidi are ahead of him.

Rohr must be made aware of him.

There's no way jobi is better than mikel,Onazi,ndidi,etebo and iwobi on current form in theat midfield position. I highly doubt if Jobi is even better than john ogu. As for left back, echijile is still the best options. Etebo is one underrated player in my opinion. I think he has the potential to be our own essien

What exactly Is Etebo better than obi at on the grass? Maybe att running around but I don't see any other aspect of the game he beats a healthy obi at.

Running, scoring, energy, strength, physique. Eye o is your stereotypical traditional African player. I think his even better than Omari and ndidi overall as a player. How many times has a player scored 4 goals in an olympics game???

How many goals has he scored since scoring 4 against a useless Japanese team?

Joel Obi has been moved back to central midfield instead of left midfield by the Torino coach and the result is 3 goals in 3 successive pre season games. He has confined Ghana's Henry Acquah to the bench. A fit Joel Obi is an asset to the SE.

Let's give him a few competitive games first and see how he does. It's not the preseason or his ability that concerns most. It is the unfortunate and frequent trips to the treatment table once competitive games start. If stays healthy great for us

Etebo gets too much love on this forum. To some, he can do no wrong. I haven't seen what most people see sha...I said it one time, and e be like say I provoke world war 3

Yea but probably a better option than Echijelly there, he's played there and left midfield while at Inter, is more dogged defensively and more comfortable with the ball offensively.

But honestly, if I was advising him, I'd say to focus on his club game and not add extra burden of international footie given his injury record, he needs to reduce chances of injury and SE won't do jack for him if he does get injured serving his fathers land.
