What were Rochdale fans views on him?

 

[robbiez666]

What, with our reputation?

 

[Broomhall Blade]

What were Rochdale fans views on him?

More to the point why don't Charlton want him.

 

[Roygbiv]

What were Rochdale fans views on him?

General feeling seems to be he was their best centre half last season. To quote one fan "We were spoiled a bit with O' Connell"

 

[sheffielder]

Got nothing much, need Roy's help with this one. Found some articles... Warburton signing at Brentford.

He was on loan at Rochdale the season before the one just finished. Last season he was at Brentford for the whole season and played 18 times. Not so sure this one will happen, but who knows.

Think they loaned him last season too. They've had him on loan 3 times.

 

[sheffielder]

Says on wiki that he played 12 games in the 2nd half of last season for Rochdale. his mrs is that hot England ladies left back...

Soccerbase says Booker4 is right.

Ah, fair enough, yeah. I think my confusion stemmed from him joining them on loan twice in the 2014-15 season and I took the 2nd loan in 2015 to be part of the 2015-16 season.

 

[Fraggle Blade]

"On 2 February 2015, O'Connell signed for Championship side Brentford on a three-and-a-half year contract"
So he's not OOC, maybe he might join us on a season long / 6 month loan if its true, rather than a transfer??

 

[sheffielder]

Also says he's a left footer, so fits with WIlder's liking of balance

At the moment we have no one else to balance with....lol

 

[FriethBlade]

6ft 3 inches tall, looks hard, left footer...what's not to like ?

3 bookings in 18 games, might look hard?
