    Think there’s a good player in there. The 50 shots or whatever it is and no goals may be getting to him a bit.

    I want to see him as a deep-lying playmaker. Calmac's shooting ability is wasted that deep, and he has better mobility. O'Riley is stronger and taller, which is more important further back (cutting out long balls), but can do the early build-up phase.

    He's having a good season just in a pretty quiet way. No matter how many assists you get as an AM you are expected to score and if you don't it creates the impression that you are off form, especially when you have had as many shots without hitting the net as he has had.

    There were a lot of expectations placed on him as being Tam's "successor" which wasn't really fair as he is his own player with his own abilities, those abilities just unfortunately don't seem to include scoring, let alone scoring Tam like worldies. Lad just needs a confidence boost.

    Ffs O'Riley will sit on his *, stay exactly where he is and enjoy it!

    If Giakoumakis is following Juranovic out the door then that's plenty for now.

    Would be madness to sell another first team player in middle off season with league title to win and champion league money at stake.
    We should be holding on to him and gg til summer and let them leave when we title won

    If it's the figures being banded around, i would drive him down there myself.

    Neat and tidy player, but just do not get the fuss.

    Hes not in the best of form but I would be reluctant to lose another 1st team player this window. JJ and GG is enough

    They were heavily linked before as well..

    Wouldn't overly surprise me and maybe why he hasn't been at it for a while. Interest and head being turned..

    All ifs and buts but he publicly named sides that were interested before which is unusual..
