Onuoha to leave

He turned down the deal we offered him.
So why go backwards.

Has he no club at the moment
He wouldn't lose face if he come back,football is very fickle and as long as he done the job he supposed to do,then I wouldn't moan,he'd be great with the big German

Amit Bhatia needs to invite Onuoha round for Sunday Lunch and wine and dine him into a deal

Both parties need to swallow their pride and reunite, we need to acknowledge how important he was and pay him what he wants.

Get him back in the team and we improve overnight.

He is the best option out there. No loan player will offer what he can.

I should have been clearer, I just meant in relation to his previous wage in terms of 'what he wants'.

I'm thinking along the lines of he must have wanted a similar wage to what he had previously so we should bite the bullet and pay him that. I imagine in negotiations before the summer we were offering less than his previous deal.

I don't mean he can name his price and we bow down to it.

We are going to have to spend money on loan fees and loan wages so why not just keep paying Onuoha what we were paying him before. It will cost us a lot more going down to League 1. The club need to weigh that up.

Most of us would have him back in a heartbeat.
But we are not the QPR he left. Does he want to come back to (potentially captain) a club that is markedly weaker than the one he left a few months ago?
Relegation candidates. No Robinson next to him, no Smithies behind him.

is Ned on social media?

There are plenty of free agent centre backs out there looking for clubs and Ned would be on my short list. Names like Robert Huth, James Collins, Gareth Macauley all have lots of experience and are still looking for somewhere to ply their trade. If we bring in one or two of these guys there is no loan fee, its just about the wages. We need a big imposing centre back that is authoritive and commands the backline. It really is time for the manager and the board to stop with the talk and bring in some players who will lift the club.

The issue with any of these players will be getting them fit and that might take a few weeks but their experience in our backline should be invaluable.
