As radio Swindon for 2nd day reported that Obika is coming in on loan from Tuesday I thought it only deserving that the guy gets his own thread.What's peoples thoughts on his potential signing?personally very happy as he's exactly what we are missing in a partner for Benyon as Obika is a big unit who holds the ball up well and brings others into play but he also knows where the goal is.The potential for them as a partnership looks good so hopefully they will fire the goals to get us up the league.

He's a proven goal scorer at this level and should add to the fire power we need. I reckon him & Benyon could work well together but what people have to remember is that they are both relatively young lads so may take a bit of time to gel as a partnership

I remember him as a bit more Jermaine Defoe in physique....wont get interested though unless he actually signs. |

Yeah he's about 6'0 but and has the build of Jermaine Defoe. Seemed pretty decent when we played Yeovil home & away in 2009.
Although BBC Radio Swindon are pretty accurate with their reporting just hoping they didn't get their story from Talksport

I was half asleep but I am sure BBC RS had quotes from Danny Wilson on his arrival, so I'd say its pretty much a done deal.

obika should be awesome for this level, and should be the fast guy we've not had for a few seasons

Certainly won't be displeased if this does go through. Seems a talented lad and the Yeovil fans seemed to really rate him. With his pace he'll hopefully offer us a bit of variety up top.
Possibly being a bit over optimistic as I've not had my morning coffee yet and I'm still half asleep, but if/when another striker comes in and Pericard is fit again our squad is starting to look a bit deeper. I know a lot of them have only played well in patches, but with a bit of competition for places and if they keep working like they have in the last few games maybe all is not lost.
Yeah, reading that back I'm probably going a bit far but I think the basic point stands.

Fantastic signing if true and just the type of player we are crying out for.

Not exactly plenty og goals as he only got 10 goals for them in 2 loan spells but he may be better than what we already have, time will tell. Down here some Yeovil fans I know rate him very highly some dont, but he does know where the back of the net is and maybe in a year since he was on loan down here hes become a better all round player. Sounds like a good loan to me if it comes off, fingers crossed. |

I'd be pleased with this. A player who is motivated in a struggling side and can cause defenses problems.

Good signing, especially if its with a view to a permanent deal. Wouldn't mind one more striker with a bit more experience, but definitely a step in the right direction.

From the couple of times I saw him play I remember him as fast and not afraid to shoot from distance - he also seemed to play quite deep, getting stuck in with the midfield than bombing forward.
