Coppello Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 If he does join the training camp and is now miraculously fit, does this spell the end of his time at City? He's had quite a strange spell at City and hasn't really pushed on from when he first joined. He's got all of the attributes to be a top player but I'm not sure if it's injuries, desire or confidence which has held him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishRed Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Whilst I think there is a player in there I was concerned about the comments our HC made regarding his mental resilience when returning from injury. Whether those comments are accurate or not I don't know. I do think Calum is hugely inconsistent and is now at an age where that should, to a degree, be starting to resolve itself. My guess is that with his contract situation seemingly not being resolved it would appear unlikely that he will be here next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarumred Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Lets get rid and bring in £3m - £4m. He hasn't been missed in the later stages of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll never know now, but indeed How do we know he couldn't have made the difference at Hull- either as a starter or off the bench- or more importantly v Reading at home. Perhaps off the bench to run at Aston Villa a bit at 0-0 say 55 mins or a half time sub, may be worth a point. As his goal at Norwich showed, he isn't consistent but he has an ability to conjure something out of nothing- if he could've got back to some earlier times the defensive side of his game- could also have helped with our stability.

Super Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 You could see LJ wasn't happy with him regarding his injury. Prob best for all involved if he moves on to another Championship club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most will know, I'm not his biggest fan, but that’s because I think some have gone OTT on his ability (all imho). He is a good player, should play most games, but his contribution is inconsistent. I do think we missed him in the run-in. His running with the ball is one thing he has there nobody else has in our squad. I would be very surprised is he’s here come August 8th.

The Journalist Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 In fairness, the games are still a month away so I'd have been surprised if he wasn't included in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_b Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Worth remembering this is the Republic of Ireland training squad. The standard is low. A partially fit Championship player should be expected to be included. I wouldn’t want a partially fit (mentally or physically) player being relied upon for a play off push...

Exactly the same was said about Bryan and Reid. If there is one thing Ashton has been good at it's getting a good price for players we sell. O'Dowda was regular enough outside of periods of injury to attract attention for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalcub Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 For me a very average player who for sum reason seems to have ideas of grandure think his agent had something lined up a while ago , cash in get rid we only want players who want to be here no time for bigtime charlies.

stevep38 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 On Sunday at Hull, I thought it strange that he didn't wasnt interacting with the players before the game. I got in the ground really early and the players were out just having a walk about, the squad were in one group and he was on his own on the other side of the pitch just not looking at all Interested, in fact I would go on to say he wasnt happy to be there.

tin Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 I think O’Dowda will be sold this summer, and we’ll regret it in a similar way we regret selling Ayling on the cheap. COD’s a good pro with his best years ahead of him. He will be a top-end Championship/low to mid-Prem player soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judda Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 For me if he doesn't want to be here... cash in! If he does get a contract signed. Not amazing but promising. Worth another 3 year contract if he is keen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will be going a season too early. He will have more suitors on the back of another season here...but I believe his Agent likes to keep busy!!

Lrrr Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 International teams don't worry so much about calling up players who are not quite 100%, all they need is to get them to play a game or two and then not worry about how they are after. Have to say I feel sorry for Max, missing out on a call up to Kieran O'Hara, on loan at Macclesfield seemingly because he's a Man Utd youngster and bad timing with Travers debut for Bournemouth on the weekend.

Busterrimes Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 It is really interesting the comments made by LJ about COD announcing he was unfit to play. Just before we signed him from Oxford their fans were angry that he pulled out of games with a mystery illness and the club were struggling to get him to see their doctor. The implication was that COD manufactures his next transfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
where's the joy Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 i think O'Dowda has not been given the ideal position on the pitch. no evidence of a true wingers instinct but there is a gritty player in there. play him at left back or central midfield but not right wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is a bad apple then lets try to make a profit on transfer fee and wages paid out over the past 3 years so I think we would need maybe £3 m to generate any profit ?

marcofisher Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Eliasson is a better footballer anyway. O'Dowda is a good player and deserves a new contract if he wants to stay, if not he will not be sorely missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
