BigAl&Toby Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Saw this yesterday whilst I was having a nervous pre-kick off wee. Looks like Callum is off. With a very tempting 30% off. Wonder who will swoop….. They’d best be quick mind. That offer is only available for a limited time 1 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 What was the starting price? I was expecting somewhere and tree fitty so £2.45 seems reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazelboy Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Even at 30% of £0, somebody is going to be ripped off when he signs for them! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 It’s an unhappy truth for some that when COD moves on in the summer, he will have suitors at this level. Not too old, experienced at this level, full international and a degree of versatility on paper. I’m not suggesting in any way we should keep him, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see him back at AG in opposing colours next season. The sliding doors moment for me was Hull away a few years ago. Coming up to that game, he was in quality form and showing signs of kicking on to the next level. Picked up a bad injury and hasn’t ever got back to the same level. Without that, the conversation around COD would be markedly different. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanker Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Apparently he was really good in league 1. Perhaps that’s his level because I can’t imagine a string of championship clubs queuing up to spend serious money on him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing really well prior to that injury but has rarely looked interested or capable since. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m confident he won’t suddenly increase his goal contributions, ability not to bottle challenges or be able to run with the ball without checking back when things look a bit tricky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also think if Oxford get promoted he'd go back. Otherwise someone like Sheff Wed or Sunderland I could see coming in for him.

It hasn’t quite worked out for him here & I know the OP was just making a pretty pathetic attempt at a joke, but in contrast to Palmer at least we have had something out of him. Having said that I do think he’ll go & that is for the best all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to go back a little further, I wish he'd have had one more season at Oxford. He would have matured a little more, taken the team forward and been a potential big fish in a small pond with other options (no offence to Bristol City!). Enough of Captain Hindsight from me...

RedRock Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Nailed on Ipswich ….. MA to rekindle their relationship. We’ve done some incredible ‘try before we buy’ deals - Palmer is standout, but CoD’s re-signing takes the biscuit. Unfortunately, MAs nice chaps or ‘good humans’ don’t automatically make good Championship footballers. Thought the transformation from ‘cosy club’ to ‘competitive club’ was going to happen last summer… this summer is better late than never. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it’ll be no different to a similar group of other club’s OOC players who will be of interest to clubs whose own fans think isn’t good enough. Some players will flourish at their new club at the same level and fans will bemoan it, others will prove their club were right to let them go. I guess Ipswich might show an interest, but I would expect O’Dowda to still be in the Championship next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 It’ll be champagne moment of the season when he goes for me! Desperately needs to be part of the reorg in the summer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl&Toby Posted March 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Anyway not long after taking the photo I was ushered out of the mens toilets by a steward. I tried to explain why I was taking photos in a public toilet but he wasn’t having any of it…… Just to make a cheap jibe at COD’s expense. That’ll teach me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coach Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 I’d be very surprised if another Championship club picked him up in the summer. Because it went so well last time for him. Perhaps a club like Rotherham or one of the other newly promoted sides may pick him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy1968 Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 I'd think he's good enough to be a squad player at our level (struggling Championship), but nothing more. He's had more than a fair chance here, on good wages, and failed to live up to his own hype. Time for our young guns to come through in his place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
