    So you’d use him instead of a no.10?

    To me he is the closest thing to a 10 we have unless we get Crowley on board. I'd be very happy with a midfield three of McCarthy, Hendrick and o dowda with Brady and Robinson wide of a front man. To me Brady has been lost as a 10 .

    I'd like O'Dowda and Hendrick in 8 roles in that formation like the Euros when Brady and Hendrick occupied them. Iike that midfield. The front man is the issue unless Long gets motoring.

    Reports of Premiership interest

    https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/01/2...r-league-side/
    According to The Times, a number of top-flight clubs had scouts in attendance to watch the winger in City's 2-1 FA Cup win over Bolton last night, in which O'Dowda opened the scoring.

    The clubs aren't specified, but it's certainly bad news for the Yorkshire club, considering top-tier sides can blow them out of the water.
    It must be noted that O'Dowda may not even be on Leeds' radar anymore, amid suggestions that the Elland Road club wants Dan James from Swansea City
    Perhaps worth noting Callum help defeat Martin O'Neil's Nottingham Forest in his first match in charge, no doubt Martin congratulated him on a good performance!

    Only just signed a new contract, doubt the club will want him to leave

    I think maybe Leeds pulled out because of the new contract perhaps, that would make him more expensive I expect? That would be be so much of an issue for premiership clubs though if indeed any are interest. I don't think any are named even on the Times article which may be speculation more than anything else. I mean premiership clubs must have scouts at lots of games, and as no clubs have been named it seems a bit of a nothing story.

    By the way O'Neil's Forest are now 2-1 up, put plenty of time to go, so would not be surprised if they ended up getting beat! (But I hope not!).

    They triggered an optional extension - I'd say it's purely to ensure they get a big price if he does go.

    Yeah I'd be inclined to think they are going to cash in here with odowda in good form. He was on astute bit of business for them in fairness

    A lot of the papers today saying that Swansea will seek 12m for Daniel James. I wouldn't be surprised to see an interest in O'Dowda being re-ignited by lads on that basis.

    Scored today.



    1:10

    Bit surpised he went the way he did, seemed easier to go wide a bit an slot it in, anyhow put it through
    the keepers legs, or at least I thought he did initially, looking at it again I am not sure if the defender
    put it in the back of the net.
    Seems to depend on who you watch, if you watch O Dowda it looks like he scores, but if I watch the defender
    well I am not so sure if he didn't score an own goal.

    Doubt the defender will be claiming it!

    There's a pay wall on this but you get the gist. Looks like O'Dowda has been frozen out at Bristol City for refusing to sign a new contract. We will see where he ends up. A PL club would be nice but I could also see a Championship challenger like Leeds (again) being very interested.

    Crazy decision for Bristol city to not have played him if he was fit. They only won 2 of their last eight league games but only missed the playoffs by 4 points. Great he is fit I had assumed his season was over with injury

    Pointed out originally that this lad hasn't much to him bar the odd bit here and there. No consistency and hasn't pushed on in 2 or 3 years. He is 24 and has not played so much for his club towards the end of the season. What does he think will happen? HOpefully this time we can forget about him with the young talent coming through.

    We(well not all inclusive) seem to have a strange conception of what youth is, and time on your side on this forum.

    I'd call you a WUM, but I know you're being serious. Have
    you seen him play? A very good player with a very bright future.
