Lewis O’Brien

[Smurph]

Lose two drifters for one automatic starter who actually affects games? Yes please.

Absolutely

Lots more on the wage bill we can unload to make room for more quality rather than quantity.

O Brien would be silly to think he could get Premier League wages in the Championship, they’d be halved imo.

 

[Cinio Dydd Sul]

Releasing Perdersen and Fulton as two examples could cover the wage of someone like O'Brien.

Fultons got another after this hasn't he?

I believe so.

For some bizarre reason the club offered him a new contract in 2023.

O'Brien is a very good championship level player who struck it lucky with his present contract with the scabs, he'll still be too rich for us though, possibly one of the relegated sides coming back down would be interested.

O'Brien is more of a Cardiff type buy than a Swansea player

Too good for Cardiff so clearly not

 

[Bluenile]

Thank feck for that!

A vision and communicate that. Big investment in non PSR things like the academy for a start?

I agree and whilst not sure but doing that would not only help the academy but would it not then give a bigger fig off the losses not sure?
but how do other clubs get around it , our pals up the road for instance i wonder?
If the owners have real ambition they are going to have to come up with ideas to bring the supporters back reduce the losses to be able to try and attract players like O Brian to give the first team a chance of promotion

Sorry I came across wrongly.
What I was trying to say was I would expect Cardiff to be looking to sign a high earning Premier league marquee signing, for effect and not consider the financial consequences.Where as we wouldn't do that

Not really, O'brien clearly makes an impact on games. if we take Grimes wages (who he replaced) and Pederson wages ( a non entity) they'd probably cover O'briens and its not effected the squad numbers in anyway really.

The fee forest would want maybe more of a stumbling block.
Going into next season with a midfield of Franco, O'brien and Widdel, would be an exciting prospect. I'd try for Delcroix permanent too as he's done well imo.

The club has been losing £15-20m a year for the last few years. It can't afford O'Brien.

 

[Dillwyn the Dog]

Lad has done more in the 3 months he's been with us than the other fella did in the three hundred plus appearances he made.

Thank God the spell Grimes cast over a lot of the fan base is starting to wear off. A master illusionist indeed

 

[Ringwood]

LOB and Sheehan have replaced the Grimes LW malaise thankfully..

I'm convinced we would be in the bottom three now if that circus of gaffer/skip wasn't replaced
