good squad player, not sure how well he ever settled over here and i think he got fed up of being 3rd-5th choice centre midfielder and wanted to go somewhere to play regularly which you cant blame him for.

Cant remember him ever getting a ridiculous amount of stick, just the usual amount that is dished out from people who actually think we should be challenging for the CL with the teams we've had.
Every club has its knob head fans, I mean fuck me we've already got plenty on here cunting off fornals.
Obiang was definitely limited, but seemed to have a good attitude.

I also don't remember "haters". In fact he is one of those players that got hyped up when he was not picked in my memory.
Was okay at a lot of things but never seem to have the desire to be great at anything consistently. As said nice guy by certainly not moving us forward.
Suppose to be smart but maybe just the glasses.
(Has played 90' in every Sassuolo match in the league and the cup picking up 2 yellows for his troubles.)

Wasn't great wasn't terrible, but will always be remembered for that screamer v Tottenham, that's more than you can say for most average players.

Never really seemed to get a proper run in the team in a settled formation/role. I was shocked at how many appearances he’d made when he left. There’s only so long you can keep a player as backup before they want more so don’t blame him for going

Always thought he had a bit of class coming from spain but just never really showed it consistently
Remember one glorious pass he played through to i think Caroll against southampton, but also remember plenty of misplaced passes to go along with it

I thought he was a classy passing sort, but a few rungs below elite level.
Inevitably meant that for every 10 tidy passes he'd give the opposition the ball in the final third.
Was very weak for his size and the defensive side of his game was definitely not his strong suit.
Remember when we first signed him and he just didn't get a game for months. But saw him in the tunnel (from my sofa) geeing up our players and looking like a general good egg.
Screamer against spurs.
By footballer standards, was a Hawking level intellect.
Wish him very well.

"By footballer standards, was a Hawking level intellect."
May very well be.
I do remember seeing one of those talk about your teammate interviews with one of our players and they answered "Who is the smartest?" with Pedro.
When asked why, the player (honestly can't remember who) said he has glasses and he carries books around.
To be fair, I don't follow anyone on social media save friends and family so maybe he says intelligent things on there.

God knows. He was a good player and we were a better team with him in the side. That being said, if you’re part of a midfield partnership with someone who’s shit doesn’t stink, then you have to be the scapegoat I suppose.

I liked Obiang. Could do a little bit of everything but not outstanding at one particular thing.
The problem in the end was that he wanted to go for the last year or so, that's not any good for anyone.
He seemed to give the ball away a lot towards the end and not wanting to be here would be a massive reason for that happening.
I'm sure he always tried his best, but if your heart isn't in it, form will suffer.

Jacob Steinburg did an article on him doing a Poli Sci degree.
But I did one and look at me.
