Sean Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) By Alan Nixon Watford are trying to snap up midfielder Ben Osborn after he was let go by Sheffield United. The Hornets are keen on Osborn’s experience and want him to sign in case Blades come back after their takeover bid is settled. Derby County are also keen on Osborn but have other targets in that area. Edited June 28 by Kernow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I do think Osborn fits in the way we play, can cover CM and LWB positions and obviously has connections to the club. He’s coming off a season where he’s been fit for the majority too, albeit historically he’s found it difficult to stay healthy for the entire season. I don’t mind signing a 30 year old on a free, who can cover multiple positions and was a boyhood fan. Injuries are a concern but if the numbers make sense then he’d be a good signing.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Would be a good signing, but if Watford are after him, I can't see him signing for us...even if he is able to stop at his mums house 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Trav Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 He’s been round the ground, and was one of the three players Warne spoke to. He wants to be local and be close to family.

Day Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I’d take him just to wind up those OAPhobic fans that turn red in the face once a player has hit their 30s. Would be an alright signing as well to be fair. hintonsboots, angieram, jono and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think Brown is a great prospect, one has had Prem experience. Been learning from a great Prem striker in Antonio. Played in Europe and scored. Been in the England set ups up to under 20’s. He’s definitely more Championship ready. And what’s to say they couldn’t play together anyway? Although I personally think Brown could benefit from a league 1 loan Premier ram, Andrew3000, Comrade 86 and 3 others 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players like Brown, or Mubama, are the type of players who could be sold for a lot of money and make a massive difference to this club’s future. jono, Sidd10, Premier ram and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alram Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 i could totally see it happening but i dont think hes ever been a good player hes a small player that isnt strong, isnt quick and doesnt have a nailed down position & hes got over 350 senior appreances, that should be a worry deanoakaram4life and Jimbo Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a strong possibility Doesn't he have business connections in the Derby area BT? If he does it'd certainly make sense he'd want to stay in the local area rather than just north of London.

How? He’s 29, never played below the Championship and had 3 seasons as a fairly regular PL player, albeit for a poor PL side. For a side coming up from League One, he would be an excellent signing. Experienced at this level without being too old, versatile to cover at least 2 positions that we need to strengthen. If he’s willing to come, it’s a no-brainer for me.
