Jake O'Brien

[74Blue]

Moyes can definitely Fuck right off if he let's O'Brien go and persists with the pair of fucking pensioners at centre half. My fucking nan is faster than Keane and Tarkowski and she's been dead for 20 fucking years. Another fucking season of frustration watching us defend on the edge of our 18 yard box because the centre halves can't fucking run and a square peg in the right back hole. Just fuck off Moyes!

[blueToffee]

Bizarre and feels really dumb.

Seemed like he was ready to be starting.

With Tarks surely needing to be replaced relatively soon…why? Plus he’d need to be replaced. Does make the links to the Chelsea kid make more sense as it’d need to be someone willing to not to play every game which means a younger guy or a journeyman.

[Bumble]

You would hope this is where the CEO and recruitment team show some bollocks.

Completely unnecessary curveball in our planning under a manager who we haven't offered a new deal to.

[Shogun]

Has anyone checked on @Kerryblueboy?

[TheRam]

Replace with yer Chelsea youngster and it’s fine.

You just worry about Moyes plans if he couldn’t guarantee him good game time considering Brathwaite is still being managed.

[Kerryblueboy]

Some joke moyes is tark will cost us this season while we are letting a good ball playing center back go

[NickNack]

Bonkers club.

You don’t let a promising young CB go when your other promising young CB is injury prone as fuck, the form of your not getting any younger captain is suspect to say the least and the other option is Michael Keane.

[Kerryblueboy]

It’s just moyes has favourites always has tark is his man fair play to Jake deserves better

[Bumble]

Someone has clearly briefed the media on this.

Is it JOB's agent to get his client a move and a six figure weekly wage somewhere else or the club to bring in some funds to allow us to allocate them elsewhere?

Either way it's not great. Both the CEO and Moyes specifically mentioned JOB in their interviews last week, so clearly something has gone on.

[Raptor]

Is it that big a deal if the price is right. He's 25, been here a few years, and can't displace Michael Keane.

He's alright, and long term I'd rather keep him as a squad player, but if that's not what he wants then move on. 2 years left on his contract is probably the ideal time to get rid.

The fact is when prices have sky rocketed this season the figures being rumoured for him are comparable, or less than we actually paid. I'll be interested to see who is after him, but similar to Tim, I'll be surprised if it's any clubs that are better than us

[Indiantoffee75]

Recruitment team and Kinnear cannot sanction this.

Can't let a manager dictate with 12 months of his contract remaining. Hopefully it's all nonsense.

[Bluebridge]

Be gutted for him to leave, but I think it’ll be him wanting to move on and we can’t blame him for that.
Not in the Moyes out camp yet, but I think we should be letting the youth off the leash this season and run with it, but we all know Moyes doesn’t like to do that. Shame cos we’ve got an exciting bunch of kids.

[Juanito]

If we are letting O'Brien go, we have to be signing a starting CB to replace him.

Absolutely madness to let O’Brien go and have Keane still here.

[Silas]

He's not first choice this season so I could see why he wants a move. We would need another centre back though in my opinion.

Michael Keane must deffo have a load of nudes of Moyes' Mrs or something. He can't fucking run, is pretty much always a fuck up waiting to happen and should be nowhere near a Premier League starting 11. Tarkowski seems to be rapidly heading the same way, so why the fuck can Moyes not see that his slow as fuck centre halves will cost us games again this season.
O'Brien can't displace Keane because Keane is teacher's pet. Moyes was exactly the same with Phil Bastard Neville. He could be absolute shite but still be first name on the teamsheet the following week. Is Michael Keane a fucking grass like Neville was?
