Player Suggestion Arthur Okonkwo

[Champagneblade]

He seems to have done really well at Wrexham.

Good age and it seems as though Arsenal are not tying him down.

As long as he doesn’t dive like a collapsing tower block….

Think there's talk of Wrexham buying him themselves now they've gone up again.

We can't compete with Wrexham

First comment talks only about height and not whether he can play whatever position he might play. I'm out.

He’s had a good season and they want to buy him.

You’d think he’d join us if the option was there.

Was more a comment on some people's obsession with height above all other qualities (unless the player is a "leader", in which case relegate height to secondary importance), rather than anything about the player in question. And what are you basing "he's had a good season" on? How much of their defensive record (conceded more than the other two teams that have won automatic promotion, comparable to some mid table teams) is down to the keeper, and how much is down to the defence in front of him and/or the team as a whole limiting chances by having greater possession? At least I have the benefit of having seen more Wrexham games this season (one) than the majority here, and I don't recall going away from that game thinking "Okonkwo had a great match", more "oh, the opposition's equally lanky forward has got a brace, what a shame they lost that 2-0 lead late on"

Wrexham face Premier League competition to land Arthur Okonkwo

Mail Sport understands no offer is on the table - or forthcoming - from the Gunners with the shot-stopper's contract expiring this summer, and as such no compensation would be required.

He made the Team of the Season for his respective division.
