I dont remember him ever coming out and saying anything. All we ever really got is that he wanted to focus on his club and things like thatQuote:

worth noting that doncaster are having an awful season and are bottom of league one. you'd hope he'd get to see a decent amount of action.
that said they had an attacking midfielder on loan from newcastle for the first half of the season (a peruvian, Vilca) and he only made 6 league appearances.
Hopefully both himself and West Ham have done their homework on this and it's not another loan for the sake of loan as Crawford warned Okoflex about doing.
‘I was born and bred in Tallaght, and I grew up watching Robbie Keane’ – Mipo Odubeko stays loyal to Ireland

Should be the end of any speculationQuote:
Now he says he has never waivered despite suggestions that he had cold feet about Ireland. “It’s very easy from the outside to make that sort of assumption, but I am me. I am the one who knows what’s going on. In my mind, there has never been any doubt or any other consideration. Ireland gave me the platform to be who I am today, the player I am today. It’s clear to me,” he says, adding that he’s in regular contact with U-21 boss Crawford.
Wish him all the best. Great attitude and be wonderful to see him succeed.
Still no goal at Doncaster, they seem to be a team in disarray so tough environment for Mipo. At least it’s first team experience so hopefully he can continue to start and develop, he warrants an under 21 call up, we don’t have many other u21 strikers playing at league one standard, apart from those already within the senior set up
Took a little while but he's off the mark in senior football - came on in the 74th minute against Bolton, scored the equaliser in the 77th, only for Kieran Sadlier to net the winner in the 78th. Still, many congratulations Mipo - hope it's the first of many: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/61033775
Good to see him get the goal at last. He has had another difficult loan with question marks from his manager in terms of his attitude and workrate. Things were so bad at one stage that he was sent away from the club early ahead of the international break to give him time and space to clear his head.

I actually thought he was OK for Ireland Under 21s and now he has a club goal as well, so I suppose we just have to hope he has turned a corner now. Attitude and work rate are hugely important for a developing player like him though, unless he can sort those issues out he has no chance of making it.
Seems to be a trend amongst our young strikers. Connolly, Obafemi, Parrott all had question marks over attitude, be it from a manager or paper speculation or on pitch body language and effort. Parrott and Obafemi look to have turned that corner and hopefully won't look back. Connolly hasn't used his loan to much effect in terms of getting back into the frame at his parents.
Another one for Mipo. Two in two.
Really nice finish which was part of their comeback from 3-0 to draw, but it's not enough and they're effectively relegated due to their goal difference. His run of form came too late for them.
Good to see him finally scoring a couple of goals, hopefully he can push on and excel for our under 21s too
Gone on a season's loan to Port Vale and played in their EFL Trophy game tonight: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62691814 - after a slow start to his senior career on a couple on "test the water loans" he started to find some form at the end of the season, so hopefully he can really get going in the coming months
Goal today v Cheltenham in his first game there on loan, maybe his first league start too ? Not sure.
Made eight starts at Doncaster - taking account the end of his loan there, and his games since for our U21s and West Ham's, along with his start at Port Vale, he's on a run of six goals in eleven games - I think it's time time for me to go and warm up the hype machine!Quote:

Looking like he's starting to settle into senior football pretty well - remember he only turns 20 later this week so he's starting to look like a promising prospect. The next few months will be interesting
