Transfer News 2022/23 Season Incoming Transfers and a few other things

It's more important to get in the right bodies. It doesn't matter how long you have to "gel" if you have the wrong players.

This assumes we can't sometimes do both... this season, we've not achieved that, that is the problem

That's true, but we constantly read on here 'it's too late for players to gel, we should have got business done early'. That is plainly rubbish, sometimes you have to wait for the right players to become available. Players can hit it off straight away, players can play together for years and not be on the same wavelength.

It's the binary viewpoints that get to me. Life, and Football, is rarely that straightforward.

Gerrard and Lampard for England.

I agree, you sometimes have to wait, but normally you have to wait for one or two signings... we're having to wait for ALL of our signings the chances of them not hitting the ground running is higher with every new players you introduce in theory

Good point well made look at Taylor and Baldock they hit it off straight away having never played together before

 

[Marked Ox]

It may have been mentioned elsewhere on this thread but KR also said he may get a yes or no over the phone on a player tonight as well as the 4 talked about.

 

[Barrywedge]

No chance this season incompetent management has blown our chance of getting our season off to a flying start! ROBINSON'S last chance.

 

[Northstandboy]

Findlay is over the line!

 

[Andy1505]

Findlay has signed.

 

[Marked Ox]

2 of the players that haven't yet signed are in Oxford hotels.

 

[oufc1991]

Hopefully we will have a couple of busy days now and then the team against Wimbledon will assemble more of the team that will play derby ( hopefully)

 

[Mythbuster3000]

So Findlay signed, keeper arrived today. Who could the others be then

The Palace lad maybe one he is waiting for a call on?

The keeper is probably one of the two in the hotel

Very Likely.

Strange time to come out with that nonsense following a pretty decent shoeing against West Brom for 75 minutes, Findlay confirmed and a number of other signings happening this week.

 

[zstep123]

you are all missing the important part of Findlay signing...he wasn't signed fast enough so his signing is invalid and doesn't count. Technically, Oxford still havent signed anyone

Moaners... did I do it right?

 

[oufc1991]

Yeah that's quite a big deal at this level!!

I believe he's only 26 so 4 year contract we should get his best years

 

[Jolteon]

A 4 year contract and a fee of around 200k for a Championship quality CB is a joke of a quality signing
