That's exactly what he kept doing when he kept giving Rob Hall new contracts every season!
And he knew Thorne and Winnall were nowhere near full fitness, let alone match fit, and knew they were gonna need their own pre seasons, and would need constant managing throughout the season, and said as much when he signed them!
He knows Mous has pretty much had it now, but has still offered him a new deal!
He also knows full well, all about Bodins injury record, and lack of games in recent years, and will know he will be severely lacking match fitness, but he's offered him a contract anyway!
I get the impression he's a sucker for a sob story, and thinks he's some sort of saviour, who can save these players' careers, whilst being hailed a genius, when we end up with Championship quality players here, who we'd never usually have a chance of getting, if they weren't the crocks they've unfortunately become.
Well I'm sorry to have to remind Robbo, but we're Oxford United football club, NOT Oxford United rehabilitation centre!
