Transfer targets?

No 9 was always the target man bazzer, the no 10 was the finisher.

But 2 up front went out of fashion 20 years ago. It is the exception rather than the rule these days. The issue was the central midfielders getting overrun by anyone (and it was pretty much everyone by the noughties) who played 3 in centre midfield. It was this resistance to change that cost England so dearly with its golden generation and trying to shoehorn gerrard and lampard into a 442 where they were outnumbered in midfled. Get over it :)

But a lone striker hasn’t worked at Oxford

Okay thought it was more then that. Point still the same though, not going to want to lose over 500k on him

I’m not so sure. They are generating massive amounts from TV money. The point is irrelevant though, I am sure the OM article states it is a loan signing not a permanent one.

He isn’t worth that, I would be disappointed if he is the player KR is after. And he isn’t even worth 150k

Just checked, definitely says a loan signing for the striker.

He's not yet 25 and can definitely score, it will just be a case of transferring the form he showed at Grimsby. Reckon he could definitely do a job for us if brought in.

True, but do you not think a championship/premiership side like Cardiff would not have tried that and with top players you would expect them to do that, can we afford the time to do that.

He was at Wigan when they were struggling to stay up and then joined a good Cardiff team with plenty of other options. If he didn't hit the ground running he would be quickly dropped.

KR appears to be the kind of manager who can give players confidence and get the best from them. No guarantees of course, but I'd trust KR with a cheaper striker than Pep spending millions!!

As would I, any way we may not be after Bogle it may be a bit of wishful thinking on the part of some.

From Oxford mail latest article

"And (for the other) we have been told a winger will go away on pre-season with his Premier League club and when he gets back we can have him."

Jordan Graham?

Does anyone seriously believe this guff?
 
Anyone worried about what’s going on at Oufc, what tigers implementing and how we move forward. I BEG YOU watch dan Harris’s interview on ifollow. The man is so impressive and makes so much sense in what is being done behind the scenes. Puttin right the little things that are so simple but have been cut or neglected in recent years. It’s infectious and hard not to get just a little excited about the changes being made to our club, that could seriously effect future transfer policy. #proudhistorybrightfuture

He comes across extremely well, I agree. Seems balanced, acknowledges past errors, but rightly points out that the focus has to be on the future because that’s all the people at the club can influence.

I personally have no issue with people being negative, it’s when they don’t display any kind of balance that I find it a bit disappointing - things aren’t always good and they aren’t always bad either, so a measured balance would be nice. Likewise twisting words to fit their narrative. For example Robinson saying he hoped to get business done early, but rather than accepting he said hoped - not expected, not definitely would, but hoped - certain people have twisted that against him, like he has broken some kind of promise to the fans. In fact, on 22nd May he even predicted it would be quiet during this period: “Everyone is scrambling around before they go on holiday and the World Cup, then it will die down a bit before a manic rush.”

I’m fine with where we are at the moment. We, as fans, can mostly agree on which areas we’re still lacking and if that’s the case, I am sure the club is also very aware. It’s a bit frustrating having to wait and refreshing the club website a hundred times a day, but we still have plenty of time to assemble a competitive squad for next season.
