He must have something about him to have been at 2 Premiership teams I guess. Its impossible to know how EPL youths will go, IMO. He should be physically/technically sound due to coming through at Southampton but maybe make mistakes in the senior game. Initial thought was he'd be used more at right back but ive not seen a single second so just guesswork. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initial thought was he'd be used more at right back but ive not seen a single second so just guesswork. Coming through at that level you’d expect him to be physically strong and fast which does tend to mask basic mistakes. I guess the issue is, like Duffy he’s had no senior games and might fall for the experienced tricks up here. Either way another body isn’t a bad thing and you hope he’s got potential. The fact he’s had a couple of trials already down south and not signed on maybe isn’t a brilliant sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Plymouth, Bristol Rovers, St Mirren, Kilmarnock register interest in Liverpool CB Olufunwa :: All Nigeria Soccer - The Complete Nigerian Football Portal I thought I recognised the name. The phrase "plagued by injuries" doesn't sound good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livi signed Morgan Boyes, also a centre back, roughly the same age, also from Liverpool, and he'd only made two senior appearances (on loan not for Liverpool). He's been good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched a few minutes of him and the initial thought was that he is, ironically, a CB version of Bair. He seemed to play against Rochdale for Liverpools U21s and had a complete shocker. Its a small sample size, too small to be fair, but I'd be worried if he plays CB for us. Could be decent value as a battering ram RB though.

Kyle Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 The fact it's another defender maybe gives us a clue we've got more to come in than Maclean has been letting on (prior to Saturday's post match interview anyway). Certainly isn't one of the originally 3 we were told to expect anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double deluxe Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Olufunwa arrived earlier today, presumably signed. Was also someone else in that we’re having a look at I believe 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been good. I honestly don't think he has been, at fault for quite a few goals and looked very naive. It's no wonder he's one of the CBs Martindale is open to letting go 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would worry me somewhat were I a Saints fan. Steven MacLean, St Johnstone and lots of Scottish clubs are possibly quite reliant on agencies for players and I wonder to what extent that kind of relationship has replaced their own scouting and recruitment networks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Van Dyke Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Not impressed by this one. Has Macca forgotten how poor Muller and Dendoncker were? Fair enough taking a punt on one of Mclelland or olufunwa but not both. Also if he’s taking players from Preston’s mob it shows little has changed from Davidson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
