So is he available tonight?
He should start in that case. There's little else to be gained from this.
Michael O'Bafemi from now on then?
Bring Back Belfast Celtic F.C.
Nice to see the Obafemi situation concluded.
It was a tough match for a young forward to make his debut but I thought he showed a lot of intelligence and strength with some of his hold up play. Clearly still a raw prospect but I’m hopeful he’ll continue to progress.
Given Southampton’s dire situation hopefully he’ll learn to feed off scraps on the counterattack and carry that experience over to our cause.
He’s gonna be the new Wavey Davey Connolly!!!!
Well this is a big positive out of tonight - fair play to him for committing to us without any fuss (on his part anyway - I know we were all on tenterhooks). Of all the multiple-nationality young players we've been talking about, on paper we he's the one who would have had most justification in taking the time to consider his options, so for him to have made this decision already is much appreciated. Let's hope he continues his progress and is joined by Aaron Connolly and others soon
There won't be too many clearer runways to a Prem side than he has at Southampton at the moment, with Long having his ongoing difficulties, until they go shopping in January anyway. Big two months for him, all eyes on him, for a first goal now and to hopefully kick on.
Proud Obafemi 'never had any doubts' about representing Ireland https://the42.ie/4348604
Really liking this kid. Hope he's the first of many young lads around that age that come through over the next while and look forward to seeing him for years to come.
Even by spoofer measures, it seems completely bizarre he couldn't have just asked him before engaging with the media.
