    I always thought Famewo looked like he had the raw ability to be a good CB. He did alright in an awful side, playing with the likes of MacGilvray, Innis, Gilbey, Ben Watson, Gunter, etc.

    I would be very whelmed with that. But in retrospect, he probably made Inniss look good in that partnership at the time.

    Happily take Famewo, championship experience, left footed, entering his prime, knows the club, worked with Nj previously and was decent on loan at us has his injury issues but always have Macca as well bout having good quality in depth

    Thought he was a bit of a liability

    Would add a bit of pace and power to the left side of our defence. Knows the club, knows the manager. If Dr. Will can work his magic, could be a decent signing on a free.

    Not for me no.

    Reasonably mobile but highly susceptible to a ball over the top if I recall correctly. And passing wasn’t a strong point.  Maybe he’s improved since he left us.  Decent squad player I suppose

    I was a fan of his when he used to play for us and he's done a decent job at Sheff Wed. His injury history is a bit of a concern but I wouldn't be against bringing him back.

    Wonder if the Russell Martin appointment being done at Rangers now might bring some clarity on if Josh Mulligan is coming in from Dundee?

    We could do worse than Famewo but I was hoping for better. The LCB position for me was a position where I was hoping we'd bring in a clear upgrade on what we already have and I'm not sure Famewo is that.

    I reckon our first signing won’t be far off.  I too heard we had 4 already done a couple of months ago.  
    I assumed those 4 might arrive on the 1st July, when their contracts expire.

    Let's hope so. My concern would be that if we did have deals agreed "in principle" from few months back that agents/other clubs have seen a chance to try and gouge a bit more money now we are promoted.

    Would be very happy with Famewo. Wednesdag fans seem quite upset at him leaving, which is a good sign. 

    He’s got pace which is very needed at championship level. Passing was an issue but he’s played a lot of wing back at Wednesday which may have improved that. 

    A good start.

    Though nothing stopping them being announced earlier though if contracts are already signed, as other clubs have done.

    He last played for us nearly 4 years ago. Since when he has played a lot of Championship football, to good reviews from a demanding set of fans.

    Stands to reason he would have improved as a player in that time, so what we last saw may not be the best comparison.

    I know but for some reason we always seem to wait until July to announce these things.

    if we sign Famewo i hope has improved a lot, thought he was awful for us

    If we sign Famewo I think we can trust Jones. He’s managed him before, Famewo spent two seasons on loan here and has since spent another L1 season with Wednesday before two more in the Championship.

    Worth keeping in mind he was a young CB with us in teams that finished 7th and 13th. He’s a lot more experienced now and should be a better player than he was back then.

    Saying that I agree with hoping for a clear upgrade, but that’s even harder to find with a left footer.

    He’d at least be decent competition for Gillesphey, and add more pace than Gillesphey has.

    Don't think he's as good as we first thought and has suffered badly with injuries since we last had him. Not sure he is better than Gilly either tbh. 

    We need depth but that is one position I'd be hoping we could add some real quality rather than a back up

    Thought Famewo was good the first time around, when he came back on loan the second season he struggled albeit in a poor side.

    As others have said it stands to reason that he has improved over the last 4 years playing at a higher level.

    We could do worse.

    Famewo started really well for us, for a few games him and Inniss looked a great combination.

    Just had word from my Wednesday supporting mate. Says Famewo's been offered a new deal there, but because of the issues of wages going unpaid, doubts he'll sign it. Says the journo is reputable.

    Not sure it’s the same journalist but think that’s the paper that broke that Hector was signing for us

    General consensus on their fan forum seems to be that he is a good defender, decent at long ball over the top passes but not good at maintaining possession, very injury prone.  Sounds like a decent signing if you are looking to be a mid table championship club(which I am fine with). But not an elite defender at this level
