January 2019 Transfer Thread

[Oxford84]

I am actually this close to a dirty protest in Robbos dugout. If this happens, i think tipping point will have been reached.

with your swindon shirt or without?

 

[Brahma]

Ahmed Kashi? Robinson mentioned getting him recently. Only thing is he hasn't played since August...

Another I doubt was never on the recruitment teams shortlist or radar.

 

[Junior_1]

More moaning bullshit from people who know f**k all but make it up anyway.

Aside from the angry tone of your post, why do you state that and what posts are in your opinion, bullshit?

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Ahmed Kashi, eh? There's one for the future! I foresee a 2-year contract. And Mous in central defence? The exact place that he was poor in before moving forward and improving us.

I hope none of this is true - it's like some sort of slow motion car crash.

 

[werthersoriginal]

Calm down ladies. I’d be pleased if we signed an experienced midfielder. CR said we needed another leader

theres plenty which are obvious, so pointless naming them really.

 

[yellowbow]

Tbf, in the interview after the Cheltenham game he talked about Mous being tired so another DM would allow him to rest Mous.

Not what he said today.

Just out of interest Oxford84, why are you saying I’ve made something up? Robinson said he’s hoping to sign a DM. I have said I SUSPECT who it’ll be. Where’s the bullshit as you so poetically put in that? You’re getting more and more aggressive with your defence of Robinson. Let’s just see how things pan out. What’s your definition of a successful season for Oxford United this season?

Yep lets see how things go,thats what ive been saying for a while.as for aggressive defence of Robinson,its more that every single time theres something from the club it gets moaned at from every single angle possible,no balance at all, no evidence at all,just bullshit.No one knows whats going on so stop making statements as if fact and wait and see what happens, then we can all moan when it goes wrong and we have the evidence.

 

[Marked Ox]

Not what he said today.

Maybe not, I was just saying he had another take on it the other night.

 

[Oufcrealist]

KR did say at the weekend that he wanted a DM in asap. Also he wanted strikers and one should come in the next 48 hours.

Right. Let’s make this simple. I listened to the 5:30 bulletin and posted what Robinson said on it. He said he hoped to sign a DM, which would allow Mous to drop back to CB. I then said I assume the DM will probably be Kashi, as Robinson has already said he’d like to sign him. So Oxford84, where is the false statement or bullshit, with no evidence in that?

You obviously didn’t here it which makes your post, accusing people of posting bullshit, the most ironic one on here in a long time.

I’m an Oxford united supporter who, like many others are tired of this abysmal season. I’d admire your support of Robinson, all be it slightly puzzled at your aggressive defence of him. I can’t blindly support a manager because I like him if he’s going to get the team I support relegated. We’ll have to agree to disagree with our opinion of his managerial abilty I guess.

Yet again you make assumptions,did I say anywhere that your post about this Dm was wrong?There are other posters that I think speak constant bullshit.Plus I heard what Robinson said on Tuesday about this Dm and the mous position,which was in more detail as he mentioned the fact that they wanted a bit more out of Mousinho when playing in the dm position.

 

[Shaun Rice]

? pointless talking to you really! Remind me of Man Utd fans! ?
If you’ve not seen Long play at left back you missed him have a great game!

If you find it difficult having a reasonable debate with fellow fans, who share the same passion as you, but might just have a different opinion? Then yes it’s pointless talking to anyone on here.
I remind you of Man U fans? In what way? I personally only know one actual Man U fan. By that I mean people who actually go regularly. Not just to the stadium tour they got brought for Christmas. To be fair he’s quite a decent chap... so thanks.
No I don’t remember long playing at left back. I don’t remember fans calling for him to play there every week because he was so great. If he was so great then I’d ask why is Ruffles playing there? Ruffles is an average left back at best!
Right there is our difference. We have different expectations. I think with the core of reasonable players we had left in the summer and the 11 players KR brought in we might be doing a little better than relegation zone. Blimey of those 11 only 2 have really been impressive.
Whether you agree or not, My opinion is Ruffles and maybe long would be adequate back up for a quality left back. I don’t want to just make do!

 

[Foley]

Surely the left back position is simple?
Whist we have Garbutt, there are two left backs (including Ruffels who I think is developing into a solid left back) and Long as back up (He has played there for the first team)
So unless Garbutt goes back (which I believe that Everton would have to agree to) then it will stay the same this season.
There are far more important things to worry about- most fans would agree with that I would suspect.

 

[Shaun Rice]

Not sure if this has been covered but on the 5:30 RO bulletin Robinson says he hopes to have a DM midfielder in for the Fleetwood game which will allow Mous to drop back to CB. Why would he want to do that? Mous’ form only really improved once he was moved out of defence and into midfield. If he wanted somebody more experienced than Dickie at CB, surely getting somebody in there would have been more beneficial. If there’s not much money in the kitty then DM isn’t a priority, we have Mous doing fine there and Hanson and Ruffs who can cover. I suspect however the new DM will be Ahmed Kashi who, low and behold, is another of his previous players.

The bloke doesn’t have a clue! Sooner we get rid the better.

When it all goes wrong? When! How much wronger does it have to get before we’re allowed to moan?
Relegation zone, 11 players in and only 2 actually playing or playing in the position KR signed them for. Arguably 0 in their best position due to our lack of strikers.
The squad is a shambles!

Some people are in big denial and throwing the "negativity" card. The simple fact is its pretty dire and with yet more rambling comments akin to nothing from Robbo this morning that doesnt look like changingvany time soon.

What Foley said above ??

 

[Jerome'SAle]

Call me Captain Obvious but if Nelson is going wouldnt it be better to sign a new centre back than move Mous back there?
