Zorrro Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Twitter's just informed me that a few of the people I follow have just started following him. I hope they're not expecting any real insight; his feed is full of 'motivational' quotes and references to God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Revised link: http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/20140808-george-eloboki-joins-oldham-athletic-1812361.aspx Time for more people to join PlayerShare and top up those funds! Has playershare helped to fund this deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c.hill12 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Thank you to all contributors who have helped make this possible. For us to be able to contribute a 5 figure sum to a player of this quality is a big deal. LJ knows he made a mistake last season but let's get behind him and push them funds right back up. Thank you.

ShireBlue Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Has playershare helped to fund this deal? Yup, says on the OS that he's being part-funded by the Player Share scheme. Damn our defensive options are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics_Fanatic Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Not signing Llera has been justified by this. Good signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishblue Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Great Signing this and a bit of coup for our budget and this league. Lets just hope his injury woes are behind him. Really pleased with our defensive options now and how the squad is shaping up. One or two more signings during the course of the season and a bit of luck with injuries and suspensions and a top ten finish could be well within our sights.

Crusoe Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Could be a good signing, this. And he'll have more of a resale value than Llera (assuming we can tie him into a longer deal later on). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slystallone Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Forest used to sign for him: "He'll eat you alive He'll eat you alive George Elekobi He'll eat you alive" Not very original I'll give them that, but it sums up how he looks pretty well I think!

astottie Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Could be a good signing, this. And he'll have more of a resale value than Llera (assuming we can tie him into a longer deal later on). Definitely a BIG signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC0AFC Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'll take Elekobi's bible bashing over Clarke Harris moaning about people trying to take his milk any day of the week and then oldham fans presuming he's off to wolves because he's tweeted about milk, sounds about right haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Sloop John B, Sloop John B, George Elokobi, He loves Sloop John B *Directs Athleticos to Harry Bosch's idea* Solid signing and coup for PlayerShare. Good work. I'm off to read to the LadBible. Edited August 8, 2014 by NewBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepingthe Faith Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Welcome George hope you have a successful stay with us The video here shows how much he was liked by Wolves fans http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2014/08/08/wolves-favourite-george-elokobi-joins-oldham/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he has his head screwed on anyway. That is all any fan hopes for from their players. Shame that far too many players that we have had at our beloved club over recent seasons haven't had the same desire and passion to do well and leave everything on the pictch whether they are talented or not.
