Very interesting quotes from his Dad. It sounds as though he is being given the best advice, from those closest to him. FWIW, I think he stays...

I feel as though this is merely process? I think players have to return to their parent clubs before we can negotiate a return? I may be wrong, but that would make the most sense. I think we have may have acted on early on this, so that we could begin those negotiations ahead of the window...

Very.

Not against a loan, but he should be absolutely nowhere near a Championship squad. You have to look at what other teams in our position would do. Would Bolton or Peterborough hold on to him because he's 19 and scored a few goals in a league thats now 2 below the one we're in? No. Yes we do. We...

I know mate, I have seen it. When I say he 'has to go' I mean either sold, or loaned out. Miles off the level we need. Woltman is an unknown at this point so I would like to see him loaned out to guage his development. Smyth should be nowhere near a championship squad. I'd be advising the...

Smyth is 24? He couldn't prove himself at L1 level, so there is no chance he stays. We need to be ruthless this summer. I'd loan Woltman out, but Smyth has to go.

The thought of him coming back into an Oxford team that has a position/system that is so tailor made for him, really does excite me. Yes he’s faced some challenges in terms of injuries, but he’s young and is still a top quality player; even at Championship level. To sign for Brentford for the...

Agree with a lot of the above. Hard to say you'd be lucky to get 12 games out of Baptiste and then mention Mills in the same breath. Savage injury and it's unknown if he will come back to be anywhere near the player he was when he was on loan. Loan to buy option in Jan? Maybe. I would offer...

Those numbers aren't even close to being true: https://www.planetfootball.com/quick-reads/championship-wage-bills-2023-24-leeds-leicester-southampton

Josh Murphy confirmed he’s staying on Ruben’s live stream

He's so often substituted because he's ran himself into the ground after doing a lot of the defensive work that clearly goes unnoticed! The job of a winger isn't just to beat a man and put a cross in. He often drops inside and wins the second ball to prevent a counter attack. He's quality, and...

No he isn't. The move has broken down. Ipswich and Oxford are interested.

Lewis Bate available. I'd have him back in a flash! Imagine a midfield 3 of McGuane, Bate, Brannagan. Not disputing the fact that we need a 'disruptor' in the squad, but before he got injured, Bate was really starting to come into form. No brainer for me if we can get this one done!

You might look like a bit of a sausage when Joe Taylor is announced tomorrow morning

Joe Taylor and Marriott are both cup-tied. Clever answer from Des to throw some off the scent, but neither can play. Doesn't mean they're not going to be announced..

I dont think shoehorning a development signing into an unnatural position is going to do him any good! Plenty of point in signing him; he's one for the future! We cant be that short of options. Surely?!

Lets address those issues when the window opens. For now, we are relying on Bodin and Goodrham as backup to Murphy and Mills. Given the amount of games we have ahead of us before Edwards and Browne are fit again, I don't think that we have the depth that we need to make it through the Christmas...

"It absolutely is a question that needs answering right now" - Are you being purposely obtuse here? The transfer window isn't open so unless you fancy a punt on a free-agent, we cannot sign a striker. 2 of our wingers are now out until the new year. We are desperately light out wide and Fosu is...

As I said in another post, it is a certainty that Mills and Murphy will now be our first choice wingers. Bodin and Goodrham are nowhere near the quality of Edwards. Bodin is infinitely better through the middle and Goodrham is miles off the level needed to be relied upon in a promotion chasing...

Possibly, but It's now a given that Murphy and Mills are our starting wingers; I'm referring to our options beyond that. Goodrham and Bodin aren't enough for me. Bodin is having his best season for us, but as I said, he is a much better player through the middle. Tyler isn't anywhere near the...
