From his new manager.
“You can see the threat he’s got in those moments but in order to play 90 minutes at the intensity and the tempo we play at, he’s certainly on his way, but I always feel at the moment there is some other guys that are a little bit further and so we’re not going to force anything because you run the risk of injuries then.”
Not fit enough ? | |

It beggars belief really when a young professional sportsman isn’t fit enough to do his job.
Back on the day,notwithstanding killer shifts,I priorities personal fitness for both personal pride and professional reasons not to mention some serious vanity .
My daughter actually trained some Tranmere players who wanted extra personal conditioning that the club wasn’t giving . Credit to those players who could have spent their spare time on a golf course or in a Bookies. | |

Kompany is clearly ruining him. It’s definitely the managers fault. | |

Ha Ha , good point well made. Let’s be honest it’s only a matter of time before he rebels. He has basically been told he isn’t good enough, how he cannot be at a fitness level required after being at Burnley for nearly five months is astonishing. | |

Obafemi in reality has played his best football under one Russell Martin. He lost his way at Southampton getting only 4 goals over a few seasons but hit his straps last season after Christmas when Wolf and Christie came on loan. Piroe has also played his best football under Russ.
The narrative was a "proper manager" in Kompany would get the best out of him. Perhaps the reality is Big Russ understood him better than anyone else. He was "understood" long enough to enable Swansea to get their money back and a bit extra,
I was reminded of Potter when questioned on OMcB's frequent illnesses. Potter told him to look after himself better and cut down on the 'all night gaming'. He was then sold for £18m and had some alcohol related problems with the South Yorkshire Constabulary. [Post edited 4 May 2023 13:35]

You can pretty much pinpoint the downfall of dells alli’s form to the moment he started streaming Fortnite in his pants until 4am. | |

Let’s just get the bluddy money for him and replace with quality . | |

Obviously busting a gut to impress, not. The way he's going he'll end up as just another who? | |

I just hope the buy clause is watertight because the article I read said he hasn't signed permanently yet. | | | |

Can't see him getting regular gametime which will of course p'ss him off.
Wieghorst returns from man u at the seasons end and will no doubt be ahead in the pecking order.
Kompany could well get head hunted if Burnley start next season ok.
Where does Michael go then? | | | |
| Obafemi update on 15:59 - May 4 with 3872 views | KeithHaynes |
Kompany has said he will remain at Burnley next season.
Michael will throw a strop eventually no matter the club he is at. | |

Another manager coming out public about him......its like deja Vue with Obafemi!
Hopefully the kid doesn't throw it all away, it looks like it could go that way. | |

He was getting regular game tie after the club took their time with him to settle. He was scoring and making a good impression for the first time in his career. He forced his way into the RoI international side Then what happened? Did the Demons reappears and poor discipline kick in.?
Now he is back where is was at Southampton. On the bench of a struggling football team wasting his career away on better money with his RoI place under threat from Ferguson at Brighton Ogbene, Parrott and Cannon who have not been wasting their time. | |

Couldn't give a toss what he does as long as we get the fee agreed.
He didn't give a toss about our club whilst raking in thousands works both ways. | |

A lot of people who voiced little but distaste about Oba during his time here seem awfully keen to keep up with what has happened to him since. You'd think that they wouldn't care since he's no longer a Swans player, but apparently not.
I could rarely fault the guy on his contribution on the pitch when he wasn't being sidelined and I don't really give a shit what happens to him now. People should try it. | |

Exactly hes gone but its more about validating our great manager | |
| |
| Obafemi update on 20:29 - May 4 with 3536 views | KeithHaynes |
Or reporting the truth. | |
| |
| Obafemi update on 20:36 - May 4 with 3529 views | vetchonian |
Or selectoive reporting the article form which the OP quote comes form is below
https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/burnley-michael-obafemi-swan
See how "selective" quoting puts a slant onto things it seems Komany see Oba as an imaoct player....interpretation is key but each to their own opinions when the article is read in full I dont see any"slight" against Oba
Given the pedestrian pace we have played at for most of the season maybe Oba isnt up to Kompanys oace v Russ's walking football? [Post edited 4 May 2023 20:40]

This is not a thread fir another Russell Martin beating.
He isn’t fit, and he hasn’t proven himself.
My final edit.
Obafemi disrupted and influenced fellow team mates to go against the manager. He pulled faces behind his back when he tried to develop players as a group. He was late or didn’t attend training on over twenty occasions. He was fined and dropped for behaviour and refusing to play.
Now Kompany is stating after five months he isn’t fit enough. My name as the site owner is alongside this post.
Sue me.
Which nobody will because it’s true.

But he isnt syaing he is a bad egg?
In gthe article Komapny states he impacts without soending 90 mins on the pitch....
I have no access to the detail re his beahviour you quote but as I said our fottball under Martin hant particurlarly been high tempo
Yes Komapny maybe questioning fitness but see nothing about his so called bad boy attitude | |
| |
| Obafemi update on 20:51 - May 4 with 3475 views | KeithHaynes |
Couple of things who said he is a bad egg ?
And who said Kompany said he has a ‘bad boy’ attitude ?
Five months and not fit enough.
Have a look at the Burnley forums.

question why wasnt the whole article posted whihc provdes a more "balanced" reporting rather than the quote used?
I never understand how a pro sportsman cant be fit.....but again we havent been the most quickest of sides this season many quites in here re us playing walkking football.
Obafemi has gine he is history yrt a quote is used form a more balkanced article to perpetuate the bad boy he was here and how our " innocent 2 manager was right. | |

Seriously, can't you just make a post without digging out Martin.
It's tiresome and pathetic.
I admire Keith's patience | |
