Re: Callum O'Dowda

There's a Phenomenon on here that involves three type of player. Those who are young and have shown glimpses of being decent, and just decent is enough. Those who are long term injured-This one is my favourite, because even if they've been bang average their stock seems to rise the longer they're out. The final piece in the player jigsaw are players who were average or even poor, leaving us and doing alright at a lower level. Even though they played 100 games for us and had ample opportunity to show us what they're about. They're all considered much better than they actually are. So, in short, be around the 20=23 age range, get injured, be out for around a year and then get a transfer to Wycombe or something similar and said player will actually be better than they ever were. Simple but affective.

I remember a similar effect with Jack Wilshere at Arsenal, the longer he was out for, the more of an impact they were convinced he would make on his return

Re: Callum O'Dowda

Do you know anything about football?

It's a sport played by players that contribute in many ways.

You would be arguing for argument's sake as usual because you were proved wrong.

And that's with him not match fit, imagine if he'd stayed fit all season!

When he's played our results have been better, this is one of your daft OK we may be winning but with the wrong type of goals or OK we may be winning but only by one goal nonsense.

Oh come on, you won't be drawn into how poorly our results have been when he's started as it undermines your entire feeble argument. Once again you simply won't address what someone says, but continue your own rhetoric.

If your approach is correct, take Joel Colwill this season. 4 sub appearances, where we've drawn once and lost 3. Does that mean he's shit and he shoulders some of the blame?

It happens all of the time My favourite 'It'll be like having a new player when (insert name) returns from injury. Wintle was Blackpools version of Pirlo when he was on loan up there. McGuiness's stock went up while on loan at Sheffield Wednesday. If Mark Harris continues to score goals then i'm taking cover, although i'm convinced some on here blame the club for Harris turning out to be ordinary, even though he played the best part of 100 league games.

Most of our fans would look down on the idea of us signing a player from League 1, yet when our former players do well at that level, we should have kept them....

You put that so succinctly. Who did we loan to Blackpool, was it Wintle , had great season with them , big outcry about how useful he would be in the side at the time, why did we loan him out blah blah blah . Guy gets brought back , exact same posters ..he is shit...(he isnt )
We have had 5 minutes seeing some of the youngsters , fill the team with them and top up with our out on loan superstars , voila , best team in the league, for sure....

Re: Callum O'Dowda

Remember when fans could watch a player and decide if he’s any good and just give an honest personal opinion.

Now all everyone wants to do is use stats to say this or say that or to tell someone else why they are wrong.

Do the stats on Colwill's appearances and we'll see how effective he is it would make a good comparison. He seems a decent player, I like him and O'Dowda and Rambo.

But Harris has a panini sticker doesn't he? Surely that's worth something 😂👍 wonder how many current or x city players this applies to ? Not many I suspect?

I take it all back now :hehe: I had a love hate relationship with those sticker books. I could never get them to stick straight or square.

Hopefully, no one is asking for Adams to come back!

Talk of an offer for £300K, bite their arms off!

at the time we had Marlon Pack strolling about the midfield, I think Wintle would have been an improvement when he was sent to Blackpool

surely we can get more than 300k for a midfielder that was pivotal in a side promoted to the championship.
we have a lot of decisions to make in central midfield, if we didn't have like 6 other players then I'd definitely have another look at him.
never had a fair crack at it here

According to this they're offering £250k but we want £500k. No idea of its accuracy.
