Funso ojo contract

[Redtaz2]

Glass talking about his contract situation , was a bit cryptic didn’t say he would be offered a new contract but he appears to rate him 

I personally think we should be aiming for better , he does appear to be a fair utility player but it just allows glass to make easy selection calls 

[Ernie McCracken]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 

[RED_JOHN]

I quite like Ojo nowadays as I certainly wasn’t a fan at the start of his Aberdeen career. So I will help him pack his stuff up and make sure he gets onto a ferry heading to Belgium.

[jamiesd]

Surely Glass playing a premature April Fool

[sheepcrooky]

No. Decent cover at right back or centre mid, but shouldn’t be a starter. He does gives his all, but for me he is best placed on the bench. 
 

Final ball not good or quick enough for the advanced right position he is being played in. One of our biggest weaknesses is lack of pace, and Ojo is a prime example of that. 
 

 

[Redmist1903]

Get him signed up, technically decent, good engine, decent in multiple positions.

[Guest milne_afc]

This is a complete piss take. The guy is absolutely rubbish. Offers nothing at all, no pace, strength, final product and amazingly lacks athleticism.

I agree with this. If we're using him as a utility man he is a decent addition to the squad. The worry is that Glass views him as more than that and we end up with someone in the team who doesn't bring any real attributes

[Zeus]

Thought Ojo had already said he'd be looking to move on at the end of the season?

[Granite95]

No from me. Might have an engine but by in large has zero final product   

looked alright yesterday however was utterly useless on Tuesday night. One of the higher earners and spoke earlier on this season about how he was going to be happy to sit his contract out as he was earning good money, no thanks 

[aberdeen1970]

6 goals in 350 career appearances. 

Yet he's one of our 4 main attacking players.

Connor Barron showed yesterday what AFC should be all about. Ramsay too, Hopefully others follow quickly.

Producing and developing our own should be our club ethos, our DNA; then bringing youngsters from elsewhere to plug gaps and then finally, taking in players in their mid 20s who are just about to hit their peak.

There will always be exceptions like Brown and Hayes but taking in players at 30 or over and giving them subsequent contract extensions just goes against everything that  any well run club like ours should be all about.

I got slated on here last summer for voicing concerns about the age demographic of our summer signings but the point still stands, massively imbalanced squad.

Big fat no from me.

Agree with Barron. Was impressed with him when he came on. Always looked to get the ball and move it forward and pass it quickly. 
 

would like to see Barron get more of a run In the team and simply have Ojo play right back as he’s not dreadful there and we have no back up to Ramsay as it stands 

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Hopefully not. We have better central midfielders. We are addicted to signing this type of player anyway so I’m sure we won’t struggle if we need to get one it. 
 

he’s nowhere near good enough to play as a winger. Can’t keep him just to cover right back. 
 

big earner… he can go… surely

[torry_battery_ram]

As a back-up option then fair enough but he is a utility player simply because he isn't good enough to nail down a starting position in one role.

[Dynamo]

You would hope we could do better.

[aberdeen1970]

Love D-Ream

[Torry Tosser]

Doesn't matter which club good or bad,this happens at all......The manager picks someone  all the time as he sees something in that person that fans dont,its the way it is.

As long as he wears our red shirt he'll  get my backing.

Apparently the shaved ape impressed on trial last week. Glass offering him a contract as our new No.10

[WesthillWanderersFC]

I’m not a huge fan of Ojo, but he’s not as bad as some on here make out.

But to give him another contract wouldn’t make sense.

He’d be 31 at the start of next season. 
This seems a good time to let him go & release about £3-£3.5k per week for a younger midfield player to come in.

 

[thurso]

No

If we don’t offer him a contract things can only get better 

[King Street Loon]

No issue with him getting a contract extension as a squad player and his wage should reflect that.

We should be looking to get players in that are better than Ojo in every position he is able to play, but happy to have him as back up.

[Andy_123]

As a backup utility player he’d be fine. He has a good enough engine to be able to cover a number of positions ok(ish) most of the time.

He’s nowhere near the level we should be looking at as an every week starter though.

[aberdeen1970]

Looks best at right back. 

I'd be tempted to swap him and Ramsay and let Ramsay focus on ripping defenders a new arsehole for a wee bit. 

[davieb]

He can't pass the ball 10 yards or hit the target on the numerous ocassions he's had! How the fuck did we end up with the shit Belgian footballer?. If he's really on 3k per week then he can GTF!

Very good I remember that song once you referred to it and now can’t get it out of my head 

arrrrrgh 

thanks for that 

??

[starryfish]

One goal and two assists in 25 matches this season would suggest he’s not influencing games often enough for me.

[Stoneybloke]

He's not brilliant and will probably never will be. But he doesnt deserve the amount of stick he gets on here, There's a lot worse and I'd give him another contract.
