Lewis Obrien

Good luck to the lad, thoroughly deserved.
Who was it on here that said they couldn't see what all the fuss was about him because all he does is run about a lot

 

He came to City a boy and left us as a man.....hope he does well...

 

I generally ignore them sort of comments, as the same posters would be wetting themselves had he signed for us. They are talking nonsense, but you see it on a regular basis with certain posters.

Good luck to the lad, very good player.

 

Not bad for somebody who just runs about a lot eh @Bradford End ?

 

Let’s see where he is in the next 2/3 years, shall we?

 

At Huddersfield because he's signed a 3 year deal?

 

It’s also his second 3 year contract with them, this time with an extra year in the clubs favour. Crap players can get one decent size contract but rarely two.

 

Think it's obvious to most of us that he did more than run around, plenty of ability and I think he will probably spend most of his career in the championship.

 

I'd go with that. Assuming he retains the same attitude and desire he certainly looked like he had the skill set to be competitive at that kind of level.

 

Tried to sort of compare him to Cullen and I think Cullen probably has a little bit more than O'Brien but definitely not too much of a huge difference between the two.

 

Of course, that’s exactly how it always works out.

 

Genuinely not sure what games you watched if all you saw was O'Brien and Caddis run about...

 

Let me put it on you, what exactly did O’Brien and Caddis contribute to last season’s debacle?

 

According to you, nobody can be judged on last seasons debacle but you're prepared to do it for 2 of our better players. Very strange.

I somehow doubt you'd be this critical if they were both City players.

 

Caddis our best defender and O'Brien our best midfielder...

 

Caddis was a liability at the end of the season - didn’t he give away 3 pens during his time here. He came in and sured things up - being the vocal, strong character type. Had Mellor been fit, he wouldn’t have got a look in - hence his release.

O’Brien was best of the rest in midfield. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

Do you think Town would have offered a 20 year old O'Brien a three year deal with an option for a further year if he hadn't just had a season like he's had with us?

 

Given the terms he’s likely been offered are a no brainier for him to accept, and the fact that Huddersfield have plenty of coin in the bank - it’s a no brainer for them to invest in their youth furthermore for what is, effectively, pennies.

This is nothing new.

 

Some of my Huddersfield mates went to watch Town's last serious friendly against Montpelier. None had seen O'brien play before and were all impressed and said on that showing they can see him starting Championship matches. Apparently on the Town forum he has been likened to a young Paul Scholes.......might just be the ginger hair and sticky out ears. He seems to have surprised a few of their fans.
