on bbc swindon this morning

we have signed this guy on a 3 month trial deal after he was released by cambridge at the end of the season

he scored 11 goals

worth a shot i guess as at least the club get 3 months to look at him.

not like opara when they had to cancel the contract and give him false hope

this way the guy knows he has to impress.

would be interested to know how they found out about him

bassett maybe?


Fola Onibuje is a Nigerian football player, currently playing for Nationwide Conference team Cambridge United F.C..

At 6"6' Fola is a giant striker with a real presence on the football pitch. His mazy runs, somewhat surprising considering his size, aerial ability and natural pace (before embarking on a professional football career, Fola represented Great Britain on the athletics field at the 200m and 400m sprints) earned him a contract with Cambridge United for the 2005-06 season after impressing with 3 goals in as many games in pre-season friendlies. This followed unsuccessful spells at Huddersfield Town F.C., Barnsley F.C. and Peterborough United F.C., however having established himself as a first-team player and regular goal scorer at Cambridge, Fola will look to keep his place in the team and push them towards the Football League

6"6'- Long ball anyone?!   :evil:

we need all options

this league is gonna be a fucker

and lets face it we have been playing the long ball game for nearly 2 years now from what i have seen

we need a style of play where every member knows what their job is and we have not had that since hoddle i think

He's only on a trial.  If he's shit he won't play. if he's good we get a bargain - either way he won't be costing us much more than a packet of crisps each week.

Not a bad move, his height and aerial ability will be priceless in League Two.

So much for Ricky Lambert

If the board are serious about getting out of this division, they will need to splash the cash

If he's quick he'll have another dimension to his game as well. I'm glad he's only a trial player though, and it's good to see that Wise is thinking of options.

Not neccessarily a long-ball donkey as the first post suggests. He's attarcted attention for mazy runs etc. which suggests he's not all about jumping, elbows and flick-ons.

Every season we've had a lad like this, i.e. cost bugger all and might just work out, i.e. Ben Martin, Lloyd Opara, Jon Stevenson. Like Akinfenwa, I bet he'd cause knackered defenders a few headaches coming on with 10 minutes to go.

I'm all for it!

Not very inspiring though is it?

Frankly, no. If it was the day before the season started then I would be a bit concerned. But it's not, so I'm not.

If you know what I mean  :?

Failed.



Failed.



Failed.

You can see why some fans aren't impressed with the deal though - I wish him all the best and hope he does the business for us.

He'll fire in 15 goals in the first 3 months, we'll sign him on a permanent contract......then he'll turn shit :-))(

worth a punt in my view. pace & strength will be an asset.

I hope DW builds a freakish giant of a team that can bully and kick the oposition into submission. I'm so pissed of with watching teamfuls of gutless faggots such as Hewlett, Duke, Cureton, Thorpe play for town.

You have to give the fella some time to be honest.  

Just look at Parkin when he joined us.  I bet there were a few doubters saying he would be shit etc -   but look what he achieved at Swindon.

I think Wise understands what he is doing.  Hes got a limited transfer/player budget, and i cant see him signing any odd player for the sheer hell of it.   Dont forget Onibuje has only signed on a short term contract basis, so if he is shit - at least we wont be lumbered with him for long.

9 goals in 25 starts in his first season is not to be sniffed at and I’m quite impressed from the club and player’s perspective that he’s signed a three month loan deal and risk ending up into the season without a club

Definitely the opportunity to impress and I can’t help but think that Wise wouldn’t have brought him here if he didn’t think he had a chance of cutting the mustard.  By the same token Wise must have had something good whispered in his ear about the lad to have scooped him up so quickly.

Can’t say he’s got me arranging a crescent of jazz mags in an orgy of excitement but at 21 with a bit of height and pace he’s close to a similar ratio to the last player with a bit of height we signed.  Rory Fallon, although let’s not jinx him just yet!

I busted my mates "wank crescent" once. I was in his house (he was out and had told me the back door was open) only to find a semi circle of softcore porn on the spare room baed including page 3 of the sun and the underware section of a cataloge. I've only just recovered from the mental images now. true story.

Llloyd Opara, Jon Stevenson and Ben Martin have no connection with this lad whatsoever. They are different players, different people.

Whether he succeeds or fails has nothing to do with them whatsover.

Move on.

Sabin MkII - but better (hopefully)  :D

Going back to the last point but two.

I love the idea of a 'wank crescent'.

I am slightly alarmed though, that some one might actually masturbate over page 3 of The Super Soaraway Sun :shock:

I feel a Friday top 5 coming on...

do it dazza

ummm  :?

doesnt striker me as a twenty goal a season strikert!?!

Doesn't looke like it does it? But, as I think some one once said, "football is a funny old game Saint"

He ecrtainly won't be if he doesn't get a contract renewel in 3 months time, not for us anyway.

Indeed. A certain Mr A King said at this time last year he was going to replace Parkins 25 goals a season with..... Thorpe & Cureton.

Turns out he'd have been better off forming a wank cresent over pictures of Mooney and Parkin playing together.

I was pointing out the flaw of an argument - Although our record with "risky" players from lower leagues is not superb.

Believe me when I say I want the guy to be the find of the season.

At least he will bring some strangth and drive into the game, aswell as pace. The problem recently has been weak players who haven't been able to take on the opposition.

It is a risk of course but we know nothing about the guy so have to give him a chance.

I just can't stop thinking about wank crescents, where have they been all my life? :shock:

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  Oh dear OST!

cant see him doing much but well done to wisey for making it a three month trial....not got alot to lose to be fair.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

have to give people time and a chance.

not an amazing signing, but what a name.

When you break in on their wank crescent do you mean??? 8)

of course.  8) yeh, have to give them a chance you know.

It's great how Wise has done this, he's given him a 3 month contract to make him prove he can play well for this club.

3 months from now and we'll only be a month into the season, so it's hardly a massive gamble... either he'll turn out to be fairly useful, perhaps even an important team of the team or he'll be utter gash and we can get rid, having spent very little on him in terms of wages.

if he's willing to work hard to prove himself i'm happy.

would a mirror as part of a wank crescendo be acceptable?

Wouldn't that make it a full circle? I don't think I could do that.

I was thinking more of laying it on the floor as part of my crescent but introduce an office chair and you could be onto something there Sussex.

An office chair eh, nice touch. I'm getting dizzy thinking about it!

180/360/720/Ouch/Fucking desk.

:mrgreen:  360 degrees of wanking pleasure

Tails, I think the idea of a forum is to add some words..  :D

He's probably too busy making his own wank crescent

Got it in one  :wink:

Not much to say on it really, just adding quotes from other fans that go against the negative feeling everyone seems to have.

Well done tails. I hate it when people judge a player on hear say. Atleast this will bring it back towards reality!

And they were shit as well  :wink:

Aah, but would you have the blonde one from hear say in your wank crescent?

I think you couldn't go to far wrong from having a 180 of hearsay filth.

Dazzzza knows where its at. The good news is, as far as I know, that wank crescents can't sing!

Hear'say? No! Liberty XXX-rated? Oh yes!

Girls aloud clearly represent the pinacle of pop wank cresents

S-Club (juniors)

:|  I presume that was a joke. Althought to be honest I cannot say I am certain

Well, neither can Hear Say
