Is Olofinjana good enough for the Premier League?

Fri Apr 08, 2011 6:48 pm

After reading what people thought about him on the post about QPR potentially signing him, i was just wondering what everyone thought about Oli because opinions seem pretty varied. I actually think that he is absolutely outstanding and good enough for a top 10 Premier League team, but i also realise that alot of people will think im mad for saying that. So yeah...

Personally, I don't think he's good enough to start but would be a good squad player. It depends on the formation though.

No chance. When he plays well, he is a quality act. Thing is that only happens once every 10 games.

Interesting point, after about 10 games i had a debate with a stoke mate and he was admanet he wasnt good enough, I disagreed.
Now I'm not so sure but I would still look to sign him if we went up even as a squad player as we have no else in his position or who can do his job. I do think he is better when more involved in games so in the prem I think he could be very useful.

i really feel strongly that he is good enough
i could name plenty of Prem teams who would pay a few million to have a player like Oli!
He is a man-mountain in the middle, he's strong, breaks up attacks, even gets forward for the odd goal... admittedly, his passing can be a bit sloppy but i just think that his type of player is so important in modern football.

We miss him so much when he's not playing, in my opinion.

Yes, when he plays to his strengths he is a very important player. For about 2-3 months in the middle of the season he was almost non existent in the middle of the park...
Too inconsistent for me.

was he really inconsistent though or was the team underperforming making him seem inconsistent?
because i think he's one of the few who's been consistently good bar one or two performances! along with Super Kev :) :ayatollah:

No chance has he been 1 of our most consistent. I will say though, that when he does perform, we look like a far stronger unit.
