When he's in the mood. I opine.
Mmm'well I dunno. Ledson is a pretty average player in a crowded midfield so he should be sold (and has, I am awake) whereas Nelson is the outstanding defender with only Dickie and maybe Raglan to support him, plus Norman Cameron and some other new FB. I think we need him (Nelson Curtis) to make the defence work. After Nelson and Eastwood we haven't much that any sane side would want unless perhaps Carole Canice as a prizefighter.....
As you say, players will churn, I only wish we could churn Mousinho and Henry and Slowatt.
Henry? Not sure where we’d have been without him.
Curran, Mcdonald,Langan, Hebberd Prem. Squad players. The rest definitely not, nowhere near.Curran, Dave Roberts, Briggs, Shotton, Mustoe, Bobby Mcdonald, Dave Langan, Trevor Hebbard,

With Boro? ....not certain if it was Boro, but yep Im sure he did play a number of seasons in the premDidn't Robbie Mustoe play in the PL? If I remember correctly then he definitely was of PL quality.
Curran was the top scorer in British football at one point ..... scored against England at wembley in 71, was one of the few players to get the better of the legendary Bobby Moore..... 20 goals (for Wolves) in one season,in the old first division in a season when wolves finished 4th , above the likes of the bin dippers & todays obscenely funded fa cup finalists, he scored 40 goals for Wolves in 86 appearances, he played in the then 2 legged UEFA cup final (losing over two legs to the spuds) ... if memory serves Curran was top scorer at every league club he played for....in two tenures at OUFC he got around 39-40 goals in just over 100 appearances..... in his prime much more than a prem squad playerCurran, Mcdonald,Langan, Hebberd Prem.

Defo played for the rapists.Didn't Robbie Mustoe play in the PL? If I remember correctly then he definitely was of PL quality.

I appreciate he hasn’t been on the show for many years now but this WSC review of Lovejoy’s book remains a classic.

Preston have behaved impeccably throughout the process; once there was interest we told them a price and they matched it.
Quote from Karl Robinson in the Oxford Mail.
I said from the start, if the deal happened it would be for an undisclosed fee. That’s annoying for both sets of fans. I sincerely hope that the money received assists Oxford to bring in suitable replacements and that it doesn’t find its way into the pocket of the previous owner.
