He just posted this on his Instagram page, with no context. Seems odd. Why? Who knows but a picture of him in a reading shirt? Well here we are

Stranded Man who last played for Reading and is without a club still - posts a picture of him with in the last football kit he played in with a timer underneath.
Most obvious meaning is that he is still waiting to get back into football. Absolutely nothing to do with us bar he used to play for us, so not sure what other picture he would use?

Terms of paying up his contract could mean he can’t sign for anyone until the end of the season.
I’d not be unhappy to see a revitalised Ovie back at the club. He’d fill an obvious gap, probably fit better with the way this squad plays now.
I don’t think anyone knows the full background to his last 18 months with us but I think it was a more complex situation than we might be aware of.
If he wanted to return and the finances were right he on one side and Azeez on the other could be rather tasty.
Don’t think it will happen though.

Not just 18 months though....
Went missing under Pauno's last months when we had no fit players to speak of, repeat under Ince last season, and couldn't be arsed earlier this season when someone like him could have made all the difference.
There's no way I'd want this over paid waster anywhere near the club again even if he was supposedly committed.

Snowflake Royal He doesn't really fit our main gap does he. We play quite a lot of fairly direct stuff and pacey counter attacking stuff.
He's a slow possession based guy.
He's not a high energy hassler and chaser.
He's a sulker and an odd ball that doesn't have a strong team collective spirit.
He doesn't have a good record of assists or goals.
He's not a young hungry player on the up. He's not a reliable senior player who can teach and lead the younger ones.
He's pretty much the antithesis of everything we might be looking for.

He’s a left sided attacker, which is the spot we’ve struggled with. Some of your points are a bit debateable, but they may be your opinion. Some are, in my opinion, simply wrong.
He creates space for others because he is often double marked.
I’m not advocating for him to be our top target, and if we did sign him it would need to be because whatever issues had arisen have been sorted.
But he’s a talented player who would rip teams apart in Div 1.
