Obika might join Palace on loan

[basskadet]

Obika's good form at Yeovil has caught the eye of Crystal Palace who are considering taking him on loan next season.

In my opinion this would be an absolutely BRILLIANT move for the lad. He has shown he can do it in League One, indeed our sources in Yeovil (lol) say he is clearly of a higher standard, & it would be great to see how he handles himself in the Championship. Crystal Palace are an ideal club for him also. He won't be too far from his North London home & will find himself well looked after there. He will be under the watchful eye of the excellent Neil Warnock who will do his absolute best for Obika & he will be amongst a group of talented, British youngsters. In fact Palace have a habit of nurturing young talent & Obika will definitely get his chance there & it is a great place to make a name for yourself, look no further than the likes of Ian Wright if you need evidence of that.

I hope this happens for the lad if I'm honest. It'll be a good test for him & being in London & playing for Warnock (who is a friend of Harry's) will mean Harry can keep a close eye on his development.

its a step in the right direction for the lad....hopefully if this happens he destroys the championship then the following season he can take the premiership by storm!

Agreed with the above tbh.

The way we are going through strikers at the minute he may get a recall in Jan to do a job in the first team.
