Tylluan Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) BPF isn't a championship keeper which is why he ended up with us in L1. He wasn't when he was with Leeds either. The reason he's been linked with us is because we've released Stockdale and his agent is hawking him round due to his contract situation. @owl4ever1867 out of interest who would you bring in if you had a choice?

Good shout but there's a couple of problems that Hull are finding in their quest to sign him. Newcastle want £2m for him (probably settle on £1.5m) and Darlow is on £25-30k a week (Hull were paying half during his loan spell) Matty Ingram is reportedly not happy that Rosenior has publicly said he wants to bring Darlow back to Hull and wants 'talks' on his return back from holiday.

Tylluan Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) He's got the same agent as Smith and Famewo and I believe we've been offered him after Pearson had a last minute change of mind and stopped a move to Bristol City. I think the possible move to Bristol is what made him turn down the improved offer to stay at Lincoln.

TheExile Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 He’s difficult to second guess sometimes as I think his ideal preference when he arrived was 4 at the back. But admittedly it’s unlikely at first. It may change though at a higher level as we are playing better teams and wing backs can get pinned especially away from home. I think with Ogbene he could play in either system having scored a few down the middle. Like a poor man’s Antonio he seems to have migrated more centrally over time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylluan Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I'd take Ogbene if Paterson left as he'd fill that role of second line forward/wide player. Would he come to us knowing he's not guaranteed to be on the team sheet. At Rotherham, or another club like them, he's a first choice. There's a case to be made that he made a lot for Smith when they were both at Rotherham but we don't play that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Owl Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Paterson staying on helps us in a number of ways. He can cover a number of positions, has a great attitude, doesn't go hiding on the football pitch and can score goals as well. Definitely the sort of professional that you want round at the club.
