deanoakaram4life Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Don't think he'll be in the development squad. Same age as Hughes by the way. Looks as though he wants to get to the byline and cross it in. Something the squad is missing. I'd be more exited with a signing like this than a prem has been!

deanoakaram4life Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Vardy played conference before joining Leicester is he good enough? Rather we signed someone like this with potential, than a has been ex prem player.., we had that last season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of examples of players who have moved up to this level and done well having never played here before. I'm sure Leicester fans were questioning on what evidence Jamie Vardy was good enough. Bournemouth fans with Callum Wilson, Brentford fans with Andre Gray etc etc. Now I'm obviously not suggesting he's going to go on to become the next Jamie Vardy, but to write him off immediately just because he plays for Oxford is a typical Derby fan reaction.

OoooMarkWright Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 The fact that Ireland called him up, impressing Martin O'Neill in the process, suggests he isn't your bog standard League 2 winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had seasons of bringing in talented lower league players who have stepped up... But the thing we really stuggle with is a winners mentality... Maybe Pearson can give them that but wouldn't hurt to have a few more players in there who know what it takes to be the best... Always wondered if our problem under McClaren was that no-one around the place was used to being know as a 'favourite'... Every time we went top we'd struggle...

jackhasler23 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I saw this guy play for Oxford three or four times last season. Trust me he's got talent! If we can sign him we 100 per cent should. With the money being spent on players these days, surely £1.5 million isn't that much of a gamble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just mentality, bornemouth didn't have past winners, nor burnley on their first promotion, neither had Watford or boro. You don't have to have played at the top to have a winners mentality. also, I'd much rather see us signing these sort of players with potential and raw talent rather than the same fee for a nick Blackman, a 6mil johnson, or the equivalent in wages for a prem 'has been' bench warmer.

DCFC1388 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Why do people on here think that just because we were interested in Jan that this isnt a Pearson signing? Im sure Pearson has been watching all levels of football in his time off and who is to say that O'Dowda isnt one of his targets? Pearson does not strike me as the type to let someone else sign players he dont want or tell him who he has to sign, if that was the case he would never have wanted the job or he would be doing what the Lazio manager has done and walk out already!

Nijul_cluff Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 From watching that video i just posted i would easily start him for Derby, the ball just sticks to him. I would go as far as saying he is the English/Irish grandparented Messi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
