One of the best Aussie players in some time I guess? I’m a Melbourne City season ticket holder, the teams he played in were so fun to watch and yeah definitely was the best midfielder in the league at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've continued to collect players like Praet, Perez, Bertrand, Vestergard and Soumare that havent' been good enough on a big wage for relatively long contracts. Who other clubs won't want to pay money for and will just leave on a free, taking a space in the squad. Soumare will leave on a free???? Praet won’t leave on a free either.

Muzzy_Larsson Posted 22 July 2022 Share Posted 22 July 2022 Could be nonsense but heard this morning Leicester are prepared to offer us £17.5m for O'Riley if Spurs buy Maddison. As good a player as he is I'd be inclined to take the money for him tbh given we paid £1.5m for him in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madders isn't going anywhere and nobody knows who we are and aren't selling at the moment. But that could very well be our valuation of O'Riley and we've had a credible source confirm he's on our list of possibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 22 July 2022 Share Posted 22 July 2022 @Muzzy_Larsson does O'Riley have the skill set to play as an inverted RW/roaming 10? I can see why we may want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to release players from deep, looks after the ball well, very accurate long passes, but much better when slipping forwards in with the ball on the ground. He is a bit like Madders without the frills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ability wise I'd say yes, athletically I'd say no, he's probably not quick or nimble enough to do himself justice there, especially in the EPL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why you may think that but it's a hard one to tell, he's never played that deep role and his strengths are scoring, assisting and creating, I'm not sure how suited he'd be to being a playmaker who has to dictate the tempo as one of the few criticisms of him thus far is that he can drop out the game at times. He's still young of course so would hope/expect that disipates as he develops. As you allude to Maddison is the more apt comparison I reckon.
