is this fella anything like andy reid ;)
Could be a disruptive influence.....
Fairly certain these threads are for keeping tabs and discussion of the players. I'm not championing him for the Irish side. I've never seen him play. His name just popped up.Quote:

haha, was it that obvious?! even though its 12 hour difference, though you are in canada :D
I started the thread as a sideswipe at the pointlessness of chasing a guy like this, but I see in 4-4-2 this month he is being touted as a potential transfer to the Champoinship with Brentford looking a bit daft for releasing him.
Scored a last minute winner against Woking today.
If you can't take a chance with selections for an U19 game - without fear of a craft poke in the eye - then when can you !Quote:

Back with Brentford in League 1.
Has a facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/people/Lanre-Oyebanjo/631635084
If he's proud enough to put a picture of himself in the green jersey as his profile picture, he's Irish enough for me.
What? From what I can tell he's still at Histon and currently has a knee injury. Was on the bench last weekend for them as well.Quote:

Played a blinder today as York were promoted to League Two, starting out playing on the right side of a three man midfield and ending up playing right back and making some crucial blocks. Also scored the second in their 2-0 FA Trophy win last weekend at Wembley. From what I've seen of him he's definitely capable of playing in League Two and very possibly higher. As I recall one of the reasons he stayed in the Conference in spite of having some suitors from the Football League was he was finishing a degree or working or something like that.
He's doing a degree in mathematics and finance so he's not open to full-time football as of yet: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/13631694
I'm sure he'll move into football league and further up the ranks once that is completed.
While specialist midfielders often do stand in at right back (Fletcher and Valencia at United, for instance), it's quite for a right-back to move into midfielder, unless it's as a winger. I haven't seen Oyebanjo play, but if that's a narrow 3-man midfield they play then he must have something about him.
I'm pretty sure York are full time anyway so perhaps he already made that transition.Quote:

He slotted in for Challinor when he went off injured after about 40 minutes, I wouldn't say he was getting deep in to the channels like a winger prior to that. He also takes many of their set pieces and has a long throw.
As a side note, Keith Keane who has been at Luton for years played the full 90 in the middle of midfield in a similar formation.
Ah, so it is the same fella then playing earlier. Useful enough.
Oyebanjo continues slow but steady climb up the English football ladder with a move to League One Crawley Town - recently turned 24 so might yet become an option if he has a couple of good years
Plenty to admire about this lad. He surely has his degree finished at this stage and may well be able to devote an even further level of commitment to the game now.Quote:

Hopefully the ascent continues.
