O’Riley makes MK Dons move

I know he was in Fulham's Academy - we all make mistakes when young, after all - but is he the sort of player BFC might be interested in?
Why not, 6 foot 2 so a decent physical presence, 5 goals in 34 apps from midfield. Wonder if he's on the radar?

Think we would have snapped him up. For the B team, when he got released by Fulham if we had been.

No doubt being mentored by josh aswell so will definitely know how to get stuck in :fishing:

But is a higher level for him the Championship?
As Ealing Bee said he was born in Hounslow, he only turned 21 this week he is getting rave reviews playing in League 1 he is 6 ft 2. Certainly ready for the Championship now, with a very good chance that wont be his limit

And while watching him at MK take a look at Scott Twine too who is 22 but getting higher ratings on Whoscored


He is the 5 ft 9 forward who came from Swindon, and was mentioned when there on here. Lots of tying in knot jokes….

Disappointed to see this about him….


If we can survive in the PL, I can see the day when the likes of Swans or Hudds will be buying players like him from Lge One for £5m, bringing him on in the Championship for a season or two, before we buy him for £15-20m.

(OK, a man can dream, can't he?)

It did cross my mind that we buy him now and loan him out to Swansea/Huddersfield for the rest of the season

Scored a brace for Celtic at the weekend. Is part of the Denmark U21 set up now too, eligible through matrilineal heritage. Even more surprising that we didn't sign him, then!

He is quality all day long and enjoying his time at Parkhead.
Give him one more year and then sign him.
He will be better then.

I doubt they will sell in the summer.
They might be persuaded as they need some cash to finance the purchases of their star loan players this season.

Yes maybe.
They also need to get one or two of Nicky Hammond signings out of the door.
The goal keeper who cannot keep goal and the striker who cannot strike.
Big wages on duff signings. They will go first.
