Nedum Onuoha the pundit

[Dirty Harry]

An articulate and very pleasant lad. And one of ours. Hope those attributes don’t count against him.

The fact he'll likely intellectually intimidate 99.9% of the pundits out there is my worry.

My brother got chatting to an ex player and occasional pundit as they waited their turn in the barber’s last year. He told him that they only get a couple of hundred quid per game and also said it is absolutely cut throat and that other more established ex players will often deliberately try to make the new guys look stupid on air to reduce their chances of being asked back and kill off any competition coming through

Doesn't surprise me at all tbh mate, although I'm sure Nedum's savvy enough to put them in their place, shame it may have to come to that though.

100%, I think he’d run rings around anyone who tried to stitch him up

He'd likely get the Buzzer treatment and there'll be a pile on, followed by a short break when he tries to state his case making them look like the morons they are, but that may just be me being paranoid and cynical ;-).

Such a shame Buzzer was blacklisted by Sky after telling them some home truths. It would have been glorious to see him there in the studio after the 6-1 which he all but predicted a year before

When asked about the Rags,his reply 'well they're better than they were....'

I didn’t realise Mike Summerbee was that short of cash, club must do something ;)
Seriously though Nedum would quite clearly be able to outwit the majority of the current bunch
