Has been posted elsewhere on here, but thought this deserved its own thread. Paul Obiefule (Nigerian international) is in Aberdeen for talks. Sounds like this would be a decent coup if we can get him, hopefully Dundee Utd bosses don't read the EE though!

Well, surely paul 'signed' a 'verbal' three year deal with hbk. Although i am glad we are his prefered team, perhaps doesnt say much about his loyalty if he 'rips' up his gentlemans agreement!

And from todays Hun along with news that Anderson is to sign for Hibs in January (despite as they also quote interest from the Dons) comes this:

 

MARK McGHEE will make another attempt to sign Paul Obiefule - with the Nigerian international insisting he is still a free agent.

The midfielder has made two previous trips to Aberdeen in an effort to win a move to the SPL from Lyn Oslo.

 

That seemed doomed to failure when Norwegian side HBK Honefoss claimed to have signed the player on a three-year deal before Christmas.

 

However, boss McGhee has rekindled his interest in the 23-year-old after being reassured he is still available.

 

He said: "I spoke to Obiefule's brother, who acts as his agent, and he insists he hasn't signed for anyone else.

 

"A Norwegian club has made him an offer, but we are keen to take him.

 

"We are now attempting to get him over on trial so we can have a look at him in training.

 

"He was injured last time he was here and unable to do anything.

 

"I liked the look of him in the DVDs we have of him in action and I've also received good reports from contacts in Norway.

 

"He is a quality player and looks as if he is more than capable of holding down a regular place in our team.

 

"However, I don't want to make a commitment and then discover it might take three months before he is match fit."

 

On his way to Plymouth then....

I thought McGhee had said that he was no longer interested in signing this guy?

I thought that too. I thought McGhee's interest in Obiefule ended when he saw what Marshall could do

He's Nigerian with his brother for an agent?

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

Another "Paul" Obiefule in the family??

Perhaps McGhee is wanting to take advantage of a very wonderful offer in which he gets a share of the deposed King of Nigeria's many millions of US dollars in exchange for just one email in which you send your bank details, thank you sir. 

Wouldn't be bad if we suddenly found out en route to scumdee that we'd signed him.

 

...or brought him in on trial again.
