Toyosi Olusanya

So much for anal lists

Bit of a bum joke that, PDX.

Same happened with Hanlan.  Disappeared for several games.  When he did he was being slated, written off infact and was really struggling. 

Took him out of the firing line (though perhaps enforced by injury) and he has come back renewed.  Maybe the same thing could happen with Toyosi.

Been a tough few months for the lad.

How ? He was meant to offer a variation on what we had in the squad and all I’ve seen is a player who IS quick but that’s it ..It’s unclear as to how many games he’d played prior to this loan or even the was it an equivalent standard . It beggars the question why have we gone over seas to find Olusanya when the are hundreds of players that can be seen daily

I've got this niggling feeling that he stays longer than January, just down to how this loan was described compared to all the others. Could be wrong, although I do think it takes a while for players to understand their roles in a McCann squad.

and available for loan here .

The US Major League season begins late February so he’ll be going back in January to prepare for that with his parent club.

He looked very good in his YouTube videos...

...and in training no doubt - a bit like Lewis Guy.

I was never a fan of Lewis, but it’s unfair to bracket him with Olusanya. .

It's not. Guy was awful too.

He wasn't a world beater but he scored that goal at Derby. Don't think many Rovers fans will forget that in a hurry. Had a few other moments as well in his time here - that assist to Heffs against Villa was superb.

I'd certainly put Guy then in the squad over Olusanya now, put it that way!

The most baffling statement of the season;

Manager Grant McCann said: “We’re really delighted to get this one over the line. It’s not been easy because there has been so much interest in him.

“There has been so much interest in him” according to his agent.

He was linked with every club in L1 in “the paper” prior to signing. Stinks of an agent signing to me. Agent sells a dream and we fall for it.

I can’t see any other explanation for it other than this. I said at the time how on earth are we scouting players from the MLS.

He scored against Rangers last season so Grant probably noticed him then.

Olusanya clearly has some ability, I'm just not sure it's league one level. McCann still seems to like him, but you never know how much of what Grant says in the media is true.

[Alan Southstand]

GM knows which side of the bread is buttered, we are desperate for a goal scorer and Lasagne is going to have to make room. If we fail to find someone then major questions need asking!
