Thanks for your helpful contribution. Remind me what this has to do with you?

Well, I just wanted to temper some of your enthusiasm for this major signing so you weren't all too disappointed, that's all. There are threads about what song to sing for him and allsorts! Having had the guy playing for my club....he's shit! That's all. If you want to believe he's the next big thing then carry on!

If you want to **** off back to your own board then carry on...! I couldn't care less what Obika did for Palace several years ago. He looks like a decent loan signing as back up in the event of injury to Ulloa - if it turns out like it did with Leroy Lita then he won't even play very much.

It looks like he scores goals in teams that know how to play him. It's either no goals for some teams (like Palace) or a goalscoring rate of 1 in 3 for others, and one of those teams was coached by our no.2. He scored 6 the other day in one competitive match, he must have something in him.

Bizarrely, I was working on Charlotte Street in London yesterday, and there is a restaurant called Obika next door to a restaurant called Oscar.

Some players fail to excel at one club before doing well at another. I believe we turned Ian Wright down before he ended up with you. More recently you had Liam Bridcutt on loan(or trial?) and turned him down. Obika may or may not do well for us. His spell at Palace is no indicator of how he'll do at Brighton.

And his loan signing really shouldn't warrant a visit and post from a palace fan. You must surely have better things to do than go on another teams board and comment on a loan signing. Surely.

Brighton fans talking about a new loan signing on a Brighton board, whatever next. So nice of you to think of us.

Got to be given a fair chance. With Tottenham's struggle to score goals I'm surprised that Andre Villas-Boas didn't use Jonathan Obika more. Hope the loan deal works out.

Will Warren Aspinall pronounce his name "Ibiza" or "Obeser" ?
