Spink I think was reported as injured in the last lineup release.

Lot of fans from other clubs thinking we might put 2+2 together and get Ibitoye in from Montpellier as cover for Odogwu.

Makes a lot of sense EPQ and like Odogwu could use a second chance per say as he's fallen off the bandwagon a bit.

Even commentators confused thought Atkinson was Gopperth, maybe he should be at 12.

Got me confused too ,when they said that last night as I was watching re-run

Ibitoye would be a rather nice shoo-in,  remembering him from a couple of years ago.   Day-dreaming?

He went to Agen but moved to Montpellier mid season but no idea his current status.
Let me tell you something cucumber

Ibitoye would be an excellent signing. Yes please.

So contract has not been extended by Montpellier. Free agent as well so could be a quick win.

Ibitoye is interesting, we were after him while Dai was in charge. He's a talented young player no doubt. Simultaneously, is this signing because we don't trust Sirker defensively yet?

Ibitoye reminds me of a young May. Always said if he could mature in the same way, he'd be a fantastic player, but he needs to stop being a one man band, and become more of a team player. Haven't seen him play since he moved to France though, perhaps he has.

Playing at Agen this season wouldn’t have been fun and a new environment in amongst covid times probably wasn’t much fun either.
Ibitoye offers a lot going forwards on a hard track in an open game but not a lot else (yet) Quins fans will testify to poor defence and game reading

Quins having a clear-out, not many that catch the eye, however, would we be keen on Nathan Earle, if we are after a winger, then if he says fit he would probably fit the bill, unless the lure of the Euro is too great...Elia Elia and Tapuai also leaving.

Isn’t Earle going to France?
Few players leaving there that they’re not getting their money’s worth from - probably would have kept Brown but think there was a fair amount of politics behind the scenes going on with that one

I wouldn't be overly interested in Ibitoye or Earle. I'm happy with Bassett, Watson, Kibirige, Odogwu, Mehson and Crossdale as a crop of wingers. We've also got academy products coming through and Minozzi can play there as well - spend the cash elsewhere.
