10/05/2008, 2:48 PM Huckerby over Roeder and Day Joined on 06/05/2008 Posts 17 What about Oguchi Onyewu???? Looks pretty good, I have a friend who lives in Liège and supports Standard Liège, he has 5 months left on his contract and they apparently willing to let him go £300k what you think. Check him on the below link! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oguchi_Onyewu    Report

Wasn't good enough for Allardyce to sign him permanently, but his amount of international caps suggest (not always a good judge of a player though) he could do a job for us.    Report

Being lightweight would be something that can be worked on, especially with Roeder's interest on players having presence and muscle in this division. Has a fairly good pedigree so yeah I think he could do a job in this league from what I've seen. Maybe he'll be in the squad on the 28th vs England so we can see if Roeder takes a trip to watch the game!     Report

The problem with taking on Foreign players is they are a big risk to a club with little finances, apart from that,,theres the added problems of comminucation, and apart from that is the fact that some foriegn players can play like gods in theres own hunting grounds...but be it climate change or another reason...they fail to live up to the required standards thus losing the club money that could have been better spent on an up and coming talent in England.   If u look about in the Premiership at the foriegn talent, its usually players from a few select foriegn countries that tend to do better here then others. eg: Italians seem to struggle wheras Brazilians seem to adapt well. http://s2.thewrestlinggame.com/wg.asp?w=19923    Report

Also the yanks tend to adapt well to the English game.    Report

Oguchi Onyewu had a lot of hype around him when he signed for Newcastle, unfortunately for him that particular defence was as watertight as a sieve, and there was no leader at the back. He was relatively young, in a new team, new higher cass league and as such failed to fulfill his expectations. The guy is a big strong fella (Chris Samba-ish), good technically and as mentioned decent pace, he would certainly fit the bill as an exciting signing.    Report

I dunno if he'd wanna come ply his trade in the championship, or even england again though, but then u never know. Going on the point above tho, if he needs someone mentally tough to play alongside, i'm not sure he'd be helped at us, i get a similar vibe with shackell.
