drgoodspeak Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Only just started reading the latest "The Secret Footballer" book and, confirming that TSF is David Kitson, I felt quite pleased to research and work out that the talented starlet he is representing as an agent is Callum O'Dowda. Of course a quick internet search confirmed my efforts as completely unnecessary. However, I was amused about TSFs shock that O'Dowda turned out to have Irish ancestry that qualified him to play for the Irish U21's. Quote: "I'd asked him several times about his ancestry and Ireland never came up". What's he called again Dave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted a video on YouTube that reversed the disguising of his voice when he was interviewed live on C4 News. It helped confirm it was him.

JayRam1 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Should of been signing players like this instead of wasting good money on Blackman and camara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that you're basing that on less than two games played (in fact less than half a game in Camaras case) in the two worst team perfomances we've seen all season - unless of course you've been watching Reading all season and/or you're a huge fan of French football.......

Papahet Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 To make the move from league two Oxford and be training at those facilities at Moor Farm, only to demand ten grand a week is a disgrace. I bet he's on about 800 quid at Oxford, greedy **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell but to write them off after 2 games for Blackman and approx half an hour for Camara is silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were 2nd it's just unsettled the squad more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboto Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 TBF to the lad, I would guess that it's his Dad thinking he is being a great agent by asking for £10k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Blackman isn't the answer for Derby, we have signed a player who hasn't scored for two months as an alternative to our striker who hasn't scored a goal from open play in two months. So Jay is right on that one. Camara on the other hand looks a cracking signing and just what we need, a player with pace who can add that something a bit extra.

harryram Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 10k a week is he and his dad having a laugh. Wow he's done well in league 2 let's wait to see if you can cut it at a higher level before you make demands like this. Sounds like a trouble maker to me would have thought he would be bending over backwards to get a move to a bigger club but hey greed as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many games has Blackman played for us, do you realise most new players need time to settle , not many hit the ground running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Since when was £10,000 a week a lot of money for a football player's wages. He is either a future star or he is not. If he is, then get him. All down to judgement at the end of the day. I remember them talking about Deli Ali. If you know in advance, they cost even more cash. SAS - he who dares wins. Easier to get it wrong than right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was their top scorer yet the majority were happy to see the back of him. I haven't seen much from him in the two games he has played for us to suggest he will be a success with us, but I will be extremely happy to be wrong. Either Way, it is a gamble worth taking, if he doesn't work out we would still be able to sell him for a decent amount and get most of what we paid for him back.
