Transfer News Transfer window 2020/21

No one is going to take a lot of players from
Any club due to the squad/wage cap.

I think wage cap will is less of a problem compared to the squad size. This is another unforeseen problem with the Squad size and will only get worse next season going down to 20. Lots of over 21s are going to find themselves unemployed or playing part time football next season. It may also mean clubs are more reluctant to take a chance on a part time non league player who is over 21 as the risk of failure will take up a valuable squad place.
 
The standard of player for the 3 positions we’re looking for is high so no surprise it’s quiet. We are looking for Mousinho, Holland & Browne replacements from last season. Be interesting to see who comes in next 2 weeks!
 
I reckon 10000 posts. To help me win name the worst and best player that has played for us with each letter of the alphabet. Starting with A - Aldridge and Anthrobus!
 
It’s the thread that keeps on not giving....in fact, should rename it as the ‘No Transfers to see here 2020-1’.
 
A fan’s pet hate is being provided false expectations re timing of signings, as has happened in the past. I’m pleased that the club has been more controlled re this although the lack of info has made the transfer window less interesting. All we know is that their is a wish list for some positions and the transfer window deadline.
I’m assuming the Clare loan transfer was a good deal financially for us. Burton are in a real mess so will be throwing the $$ at the problem to support the new manager.
it does define the Clare signing as a failure but it still has the potential of working out if he hits his straps for the new club.

If I was wee Scott I’d be off to Rangers!
Likewise! But, if he doesn’t make it at Rangers, he’ll end up playing for Kilmarnock. Can’t see why he would come to us over them but as we have shown in previous seasons, if players do well with us, they tend to go on to play at a much higher level. Odd that he’s linked with us, though.

B - Brevett is a good call for worst, Joe Burnell is a definite possibility, but I think Buckley-Ricketts just edges them both out. Mainly because we thought he might be good when he joined, and he turned out to be bobbins.

Best is obviously not a contest, although John Byrne can feel hard done by that he shares a letter with one of the no doubt all-time Oxford legends in Mr. Beauchamp. A bunch of other letters and he would have had a shout!
