Genoa

**~~The 90+2~~** · 26-05-2019 08:07 PM

Hanging on to survival through the skin of their teeth at the moment as a draw would do. Potentially good news for us I would imagine!

**~~660~~** · 26-05-2019 08:16 PM

Empoli just equalised

It's really infuriating as I'm just waiting on Fiorentina in a bet, they have both been passing it about between themselves, so annoying.

***Mantis Toboggan*** · 26-05-2019 08:32 PM

Comedy goal for 3 1, goalie not happy

Edit: pretty good use of VAR

Why didn’t Fiorentina try? Was weird watching it considering they could have gained a few places in the league.

Anyway Genoa stay up. Happy about that even if just because they loaned us Stephane.

That was a crazy last 10 minutes. Braw stuff

Probably been offered cash not to try. It's quite common in Spain and Italy. Team that needs a result offers team who doesn't need a results players money.

In other news, verona gone 1 up.

Might be a tuscan thing. Empoli is close to Florence

If he couldn’t get a game for them this season, think they’ll be looking to strengthen next season. He’ll be surplus to requirements next season

Tried to lump on the draw just before 90 mins at odds of 1/10 but they dropped before I got it on. Was like that game that got us into Europe against the old Rangers. Neither team were interested

He's a kid they loaned out for experience and to play.

I doubt he's just getting binned because they might strengthen. Maybe he'll be part of their plans to strengthen?

He’s not a kid anymore, he’s now 23

Most players loaned out are generally very much in the long term plans of the lending club and, unfortunately, Omeonga probably falls into that category. It might be the case, tho’, that Genoa see an advantage in leaving him with us for one more year, given the game time he gets and his mental well being gained from life at ER and Edinburgh. On the other hand, they might judge that his progress last season warrants an immediate promotion into their squad.

The top scorer this season in Italy is 36, Omeonga has plenty of time ahead of him.

Not sure about that. From this seasons loanees McNulty, Bogdan, Agypong and Gauld will probably never play for their parent clubs again.

The boy we got from Leicester might as he’s young. Not sure Omeonga will go back there and play.

***CockneyRebel*** · 27-05-2019 10:31 AM

Genoa

Never heard of her.....(that ones as old as me).

I’d agree with that and you could probably say it about the majority of loanees we’ve had over the years.

Marciano
Oxley
Ambrose
Commons
McGeouch
Allan
Henderson
Stokes
MacLaren
Barker
Kamberi
Boyle
O’ Donovan
Soares
Claros
McGivern
Done
Hyndman

I’d guess that those players barely have 10 games between them at their parent clubs after their loans expired

The exception is that prick Docherty. You could even add Sparky at Wolves to the list.

Yeah obviously it isn’t going to be 100% either way but I’d say the majority of players that go on loan aren’t in the parent clubs long term plans, especially once they reach Omeongas age.

Definitely. More of a shop window to get some money back. There are exceptions though but I’ve a feeling Omeonga sees his future in the UK otherwise it’s just too random sending him to us. There must be some potential plan.

**007** · 27-05-2019 12:55 PM

Genoa up for sale and 41 players were out on loan so I think we've got a decent chance of getting Omeonga again next season, loan or permanent.

Had a look there - they really have a ridiculous number of players out on loan for a relatively small club. You'd have to think with a bit of scouting and research there'd be another player or two of the standard of Omoenga to be found there that are surplus to requirements.

To be honest I think it shows what brilliant scouts we have, that they picked a a gold nugget out of a skip full of Iron Pyrite

Agree with your point re the scouting but one correction - Genoa are not a small club, they’re one of the oldest and grandest clubs in Italy and have won 9 league titles - only Juve and the Milan clubs have won more.

Not that I’m sticking up for them, prefer Samp myself!
