Fleetwood apparently paid £250k for him.Apologies if this has already been discussed but a bid for Marriott is true apparently
They seem to have some ownership issues so £400k would seem a decent offer.

If Fleetwood are now in the s**t, don’t offer more!Fleetwood apparently paid £250k for him.

Can’t remember Moore dropping a bad performance under Manning last season. One of the players who benefited the most from the change in managers.
He had further to go than most..
You're wrong, Dick. One of his traits is his ability to disappear, switch off. Brown's a warrior, so's Long - can't you see the difference?
Only one player won a higher proportion of headers that Moore last season in the whole league, seven won more headers per 90 and seven had a better ratio of tackles vs being dribbled part. Not bad for a guy who disappeared - imagine if Manning gets him to stick aroundYou're wrong, Dick. One of his traits is his ability to disappear, switch off.

Which Marriott? I have found 7.Apologies if this has already been discussed but a bid for Marriott is true apparently
Eoghan O'Connell, who then left in Jan so numbers could be swewed by not playing as many minutes.They're interesting stats, who was the player who won more headers ? In those games under Manning, in particular, I genuinely don't think I saw him lose a header. If he can find that level of performance again then there will be few, if any, defenders better than Moore in L1 this coming season. He's not the easiest on the eye - like a Dickie, Atkinson, McNally etc - and I'd liken him more to Jake Wright or a blast from the past, Gary Briggs, defenders who do what the job sheet says - defend.
Has he not had a chance so far? This is all a bit fluffy and lame - it's not public enemy number one and it's not personal, it's just a fair observation he's been miles off the standard while hoovering up a ridiculous wage. People will talk about him. Ok, so he didn't have a full pre season but after his return from injury he had plenty of minutes and ended up featuring in 23 games - pre season only gives you 4 or 5 and apparently they're just a kick about for fitness so what's his excuse for being just as poor at the end of the season when he should be match sharp? He's featured in these pre season games and looks exactly the same player - heavy, clumsy, slow and lost. He's got 4 or 5 players ahead of him now and if I didn't know any better I'd say he's been firmly parked and the minute we get a sensible opening to offload him, he will be gone and rightly so. We're not a charity.Yanic was disappointing last year, but he is still one of ours. So perhaps we might want to ease off a little. I know some people like to have a public enemy number 1, but let’s at least give him a chance first. It’s a long shot, but he might prove many wrong after a proper pre-season.
P.s.Why i am an Oxford fan - eternal hope and optimism, regardless of merit!

When you look at how Manning marginalised him more with each passing game last season, it's not just forum members who have this view.
Sorry I disagree with your comment about Brown being suspect in the air. I think he’s one of our best and yes I did see every home game last season and a few awayNo, I can't. Brown is suspect aerially whereas Moore is a colossus, he puts his head on everything. I agree that Long is whole hearted but with your sensible head on you aren't picking him over Moore surely ?
You'd expect someone like Brown to be dominant in the air playing LB as he'd mainly up against wingers. I don't think he'd be anywhere near as dominant as Moore playing regularly at CB.Sorry I disagree with your comment about Brown being suspect in the air.
