Heard lots of good things about him so I'll wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know videos aren't worth much because it's always a video of best bits and no horrible bits, but he really can control the ball from the looks of things, better than alot of our players too.

Briz Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Would appear us lot down in Bristol are now linked to him. We're supposedly offering him immediate first team action whereas you'd send him back on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I know videos only show the best bits and all that, but my word! Based on that he's a starter. Him and Hughes in the same team is a very exciting prospect. Hughes with runs and pin point balls through the middle, O'Dowda with runs and pin point crosses from the wing. Ooooo, I'm getting moist.

Ramarena Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Simple answer. If big Nige is interested and thinks he can develop him then we will look to sign him. If big Nige isn't interested, then I think we know what the answer is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Interesting one, he still only makes the bench mainly at Oxford but we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 My friend at work is an Oxford season ticket holder, he was laughing at the £1m fee in January. However since then it seems O'Dowda has really kicked on and he doesn't want to lose him. Unfortunately also it seems the £3m for Roofe means they have no need to sell and the fee would have to be similar I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Think he'd be pushing for a starting position but who knows if we're even in for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossieram Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Have we actually shown any interest in him lately or is all this just rumours because we were once looking at him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I remember Mel or maybe Rush saying in the past there is a seperate budget for the U21s but how does that effect FFP? I know the money being pumped into the Moor Farm facilities doesnt count on FFP so I was wondering if buying for the U21s does? If not then buying O'Dowda for the 'U21s' is great business if alot of people think he could be in the first team squad straight away - is that a potential loophole in FFP?

Jimbo Ram Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I wouldn't buy any more U21 squad players, or 'players for the future'...2 or 3 additions need to be the finished article who will be in the team.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is kind of my point...is O'Dowda being signed for the 'U21s' in a loophole but is actually someone Pearson wants in the first team this season but doesnt affect the FFP so we can sign others too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all money spent on players counts when it comes to FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id be surprised if it did too as it seems very easy, just with the seperate budget mentioned plus the benefits of being a grade 1 acadamy and being able to attract players from a further distance etc i didnt know how it worked, for example if we paid for a 15 year old from a grade 2 acadamy (which i think is one of the benefits of being grade 1) would it go on FFP?
