This was posted on Twitter earlier - the post said it was taken at today’s training session. Looks like Odel is back and healthy 🙏

I believe that’s young Makenzie Kirk - he trained with the 1st team squad today.

Nice article about him in the evening news saying he is all good now and I especially enjoyed this quote from him……

 

“It’s a big rivalry and, when I came up here, that’s the first thing you are told: ‘Don’t wear green’,” smiled the imposing Offiah, speaking exclusively to the Evening News. “I did listen. I haven’t worn green. All my green stuff got chucked out.

This a rare moment from me, but I've really not been that impressed, he lacks hustle for me.

I don’t think anyone has been that impressed to be honest. 
 

Get him at right back with Toby ahead of him rather than the other way round. 
 

Sadly with Halks, Gordon, Cochran and Atkinson out, we’re a bit patchwork at the back.

I agree but he's a CH/FB combo who's gotten played at RWB. I think he's yet another player who'd be best at outside CH in a back 3, which is fine except that we seem to have an abundance of those.

Now set to be out for some time according to Naismith. 
 

When do we cut our losses here and send him back? Nobodies fault, but it isn’t worth the risk in my eyes.

We won’t be paying a penny for him because of his medical situation.  Only important thing is the young guys health.

Oh without a doubt. But this is evidently underlying, and pre Hearts. 
 

I’m not fussed about how much we’re paying. If we’re being told he’s good to go and continually breaking down, through no fault of his own I might add we should be asking questions of Brightons doctors, no?

Back to Brighton in January I'd imagine. Shame for the boy.

No mention of what the problem is this time! Anyone know if it Is it a recurrence of the problem he had the last time he went back to Brighton or something else?

Unfortunately his loan hasn't really worked out, mainly due to health/fitness issues. Nothing against Offiah but can we not just go out and buy a suitably experienced RB in January? Or at least get somebody tied down on a pre-contract. We've let Smith go, had both Hill and Offiah in on loans, neither have been a success. We only have the injured Atkinson for that position, decent enough but a bit of an egg shell both mentally and physically IMHO. 

How many more seasons do we have to suffer with these problem areas repeatedly not being addressed? 

A RB and another no nonsense CB, both experienced, are required. Again!!

Reminds me very much of the Wilf Slack situation if true. I hope it's nothing like as serious.

Everyone needs to remember this is someone's personal private health record here - we dont need to know what's wrong with him beyond that he's unavailable and for how long.

Feel for the lad and hope he’s okay. 
 

But feel for us, another signing not working out in a position we desperately need someone in. 

Exactly feel for the lad but how was this not flagged , has it just suddenly started since he came here or is this an ongoing problem, it just makes me think that Savage is a kid on merchant his signings have been very underwhelming,

Pasquale for King

Hopefully hes ok and he should be back down there getting test’s etc. 

We need to move on though and have a RB ready to come in asap for January, whether thats a loan or a transfer deal.

Hope he is ok, but **** me this is another bad signing isn't it.

 

We really need to catch a break soon.

Did he check the guys medical history which should be done , checking medical problems is part of his job as you don’t want landed with someone who’s never off the physios table , I’m just saying it’s very strange how this seems to have surfaced since he joined us

I hope Odel is going to be okay, genuinely feel for the guy.

   As others have suggested, we should go for Strain of St Mirren, maybe someone can tell me, is his contract running out at St Mirren ?

Do you honestly think Brighton would hide that from us? You’re full of shite what a stupid thing to say.

Thanks TJ , we should put it across to his agent that we would be interested, unless he’s looking for a move down south, then, it would be a moot point as we can’t compete wage wise.

That's a shame for Oddel as he looks a great player and exactly what we need. I'd imagine we will cut our losses with him now and hopefully a defensive right back is top of our wish list in the January transfer window. 

 

Someone mentioned Handa on here and I'm sure Savage said at the shareholder dinner that he's still someone we've got our eye on. 

 

We need to bring someone in as Atkinson and sibbick aren't the answer.

He and Baccus have said they are leaving at the end of the season, would imagine it will be to somewhere for more money than we can offer probably.

These guys have shown they will go anywhere to make a living so they could go anywhere then.

I hope it’s not Handa we are going in for to cover at RB. He will be another one that will need 6 months to a year to settle. 
 

We need someone in who is ready to play in this league or bring in someone from the academy.

Poor guy must be absolutely gutted with how things are going right now, this was his chance to show what he can do and put himself in position for a place in Brightons matchday squads but it’s turned into a nightmare and it’s nobody’s fault.
 

Firstly hope the medics at Brighton get to the bottom of whatever keeps causing his problems, most important thing is his health. For Hearts it’s yet another example of us not being able to catch a ****ing break in a position where we really needed cover.
 

Time for an academy graduate? Nothing to lose at this point…

Natty’s barely put a foot wrong since about march, we could really do with him being fit atm. Sibbick deffo not however.

He's good going forward, Natty, but not good enough defensively for me. Leaves too much room for attackers and makes too many mistakes.

Who knows but strange as soon as he comes up here he has medical episodes, it’s just another part of the shitshow that has been evident recently

Yep, a bit of an enigma. 50% a strength and 50% a weakness.

+1. The lengths folk will go with agendas is embarrassing. Plenty of other threads for that
