Just read on Twitter from another U's fan that Jonathan Obika being linked, rumour comes from Swindon end and was left out of their match yesterday. I really hope this isn't true! Why not? He played 32 games last season scoring 11, that's a decent return he is Swindon's best player and if we were to sign him we could really upset them and we get a decent ST who is experienced in league 1.

I'd be happy with the signing of Jonathan Obika. Spurs kept him on their books until recently so clearly believed he might one day being a shining star. Based on the last couple of seasons, I trust Appleton and the backroom staff to get any player to their full potential, so would happily welcome Obika here.

Scum season ticket holder I work with loves him. Says he works his nuts off and is a good finisher. Struggled with knocks last season but apparently won the supporters player of the year. I think we need 2 out and out wingers and 2 strikers still to complete the squad. I'd be very happy if Obika was one of the strikers. But I have major doubts if there is any truth. We wont be offering close to 500k for him.

One of the problems of selling two players for around four and a half Million, other club's think it's burning a hole in our pockets, perhaps - and they bump up the prices when we enquire about a player.

Current best player maybe, he certainly wasn't anywhere near as good as Ajose.

Current best player maybe, he certainly wasn't anywhere near as good as Ajose. According to the Swindon fans I've heard from and read, Ajose was a goalscorer who contributed very little else while Obika contributed far more and created chances as well as scoring them. Can't see us getting Obika anyway.

Not exactly the 20+ goal a season man we need, unless he's the other player "Don't panic"

I would very much welcome the signing of Ariyibi as he's a tricky, pacey, strong RW that would give any defender a torrid time. I'm sure Skarz is not looking forward to facing him for the first game of the season.
Other names mentioned like Obika give much optimism that our scouting staff is very much on the case for attacking options to replace Roofe and O'Dowda.
For the LW role I would like us to go for Callum Harriott of Charlton.

I can put the Obika rumour to bed. Spoke to my B-in-L who says someone has put it up tongue in cheek just because he didn't play yesterday.
