Im not sure we'll see Jobi play again

Post by ComeOnYouOs »

I think Jobi might retire, because he fancies being a radio/TV pundit. His bio pic on Twitter shows him in a smart grey suit, looking very dapper

Hope im wrong as I think he has another season left in him

Good luck to him.

He’s a very eloquent fellow.

He was in the studio for three hours on a Talksport show a few weeks ago. I said at the time I wondered if he was perhaps dipping his toe into media work to see if he fancied going into it after he retires.

The video for Jobis award last night had justin say something like 'im glad i get to work with him for another season and want to keep him going into his 40s' so its all but certain he'll be here next season in some respect. Wouldn't be surprised if its a 1 year playing deal and a multi year coaching deal.

Great bloke to have around.

Caught him just outside the reception after the game on Saturday. His words were: “I’ve gotta stay now we’ve gone up”

With such a good first touch, close control and ability to distribute the ball (as well as an excellent engine for his age), can’t see any reason he couldn’t make a positive contribution to the squad next year - possibly as a sitting midfielder.

Worrying though, I saw a picture of Bonne with his dog the other day, so I think he might be quitting football to fulfil his lifelong dream of winning Crufts.

Not that it needs saying, but I had a good chat with him at the Star Man last night, and is was abundantly clear that he'll be staying on the playing squad next season.

I would give him another year with an option of a second. He's fitter that a lot of players 10 years younger and we will need his experience and cool head next season.

If Akinfenwa can still get first team selection at almost 37 then Jobi surely can👍

He will need to report back early for pre-season!

At the AGM, Mr Travis could not speak highly enough of him, including as a natural leader.

Champi-OOO-nees!
