★A2R★ 1,316 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Re: ONYEWU, Oguchi I would love Marcelo Bielsa here (ex-Chile).Whoever it is' date=' I will tell you this, having someone from the British-mold isn't going to translate anymore.[/quote'] Okay, Bielsa. Are the players athletic enough? Definetly yes Do they have the quality attacking players needed for Bielsa's philosophy? I dont know, you tell me. Very good choice you made there, majority of USA players dont play in major legues, even if they do, theyre not quaranteed starters, so they could really conserve their energy for the USA games and be physically prepared for fast paced attacking football.

Johnny C 5,874 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Re: ONYEWU, Oguchi Onyewu sent out on loan to FC Twente until the end of the season. Today's Milan Press Release.... Short and Sweet A.C. Milan announces sending OGUCHIALU CHIJOKE ONYEWU to F.C Twente on a loan deal, which includes the option of buying the player at the end of the season. Introductory Video Link to a video put together by Twente's marketing department. HERE. I actually like the champagne toast. Salary No details on how much of his salary Twente are picking up; however considering that he is paid €60K per week, I would gather to bet that they are picking up very little if any at all. Milan are likely paying them to take him... which makes sense. Option to Buy No details on what the option to buy is. But again, considering that Onyewu is still entitled to €9M in salary under his current contract (even counting the free year), Milan will be hard pressed to re-coup (in Transfer Fees) even a tiny fraction of that amount. Reunites with Former Manager The move to Twente reunites him with Michel Preud'homme, who coached Onyewu @ Standard Liège. So who knows... there may be hope for him yet. Twente were short on First Team CBs. Before Onyewu joined, they had essentially 3. But IMO it's a big big stretch to think that Onyewu is going to see significant time with DOUGLAS, WISGERHOF, Sweden's own RASMUS BENGTSSON deservedly ahead of him. Anyway... Here's his opportunity. Lets see what he does with it... . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
