    Scored today for Swansea on his return from injury. Let’s hope he keeps it up. We could do with a striker getting games and goals.

    Lovely ball over the top by Manning, then showed great pace and a cool finish. Exactly what we need to be seeing!

    Super goal . I've always laughed at posters saying he will be playing non league in a few years cause they think he eats a few too many burgers. The lad has some serious abilities

    'Brilliant' Obafemi scores first Swansea goal, James McClean also on target across the water https://the42.ie/5582960

    Gread to read these comments from Martin too given the comments Hassenhuttl has made re attitude and commitment previously

    But has dodgy hamstrings and bad luck with injuries. I fear injuries will prevent him from playing to the best of his abilities.

    That was a peach of a touch and a finish by Obafemi. Games, and goals, and he becomes a serious option for us. an undeniable option when compared with Idah and Collins to be fair to Obafemi.
    Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

    I agree. I saw Stephen Kenny spoke to curtis when he left him.out of the last squads which feels like good man management so hopefully he is talking regularly to obafemi

    At Swansea two months and the manager is already talking about how his professionalism needs improvement.

    https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/...ssell-22091166


    "But there are certain things you have to make sure you do to be in the squad.

    "You've got guys like Jay Fulton at home training so hard, Rhys Williams, Brandon Cooper. You have to behave every day like what you are, a professional footballer.


    "He's done nothing major but there's stuff we need to help him with.

    "He's disappointed. I'm disappointed he's not here, but performance doesn't come before culture, it's the other way around. He'll get there and I'm sure he'll be back involved soon.

    "It's just a few disciplinary things in terms of the way we train, time keeping and it does matter unfortunately."

    Swansea reported to have received a loan offer for Obafemi yesterday, according to Keith Haynes on fansnetwork.co.uk (Tues 11 Jan). As Obafemi doesn't seem to have settled well at Swansea, the manager might be tempted.

    He is obviously a problematic guy. I would say he wont be picked for ireland again

    A bit early for that judgement. Pity that three of our 4 young PL strikers of two years ago, have question marks around attitude. Let’s hope they mature and realise their obvious potential.

    Surprised this wasn't mentioned yet, but Obafemi got his second for Swansea yesterday against Blackburn and it was the only goal of the game: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/60178656 - manning got sent off on 53 minutes and Obafemi got taken off a couple of minutes later as Swansea clung on - based on the highlights, still had all the positive attributes I've noticed in him earlier - good lay-offs, an eye for a key pass and a decent headed finish on the stretch. Has mostly been a sub at Swansea but has started a couple of games and right away has scored. Far from being written off, I think he should be given a chance to build on the 10 minutes of international time he got two managers ago and soon

    Agree totally Kenny needs to show good man management and bring obafemi in to the march squad with Collins dropping out

    Steady on.... Hes generally been crap since going to Swansea. IF, the goal at the weekend is a start for him where he kicks on and is good over the next couple of months then maybe we can talk about him getting called up.

    I think Collins is done, but even though Ive said elsewhere that I dont rate Hogan at all, he would be well ahead of Obafemi at this point.

    Two in a row for Obafemi now. Really good to see. Assist from Billy Ray too.

    Could still turn out to be the best option from that cohort of strikers if he can sort himself out. Real pace and an eye for goal.
