Im sure there was a thread of a similar title, have spent ages looking for it but cant locate it!

Am happy to fire up the other thread if this is a duplicate.

I have put together the current squad, squad status, age and contract details, partly because I had time but also out of interest!

Hopefully others find it interesting also. If keen, I will do similar with the U23s. If there is interest I will keep up to date through the season.

Please feel free to correct anything I have wrong below:

Ashby was let go in May. Little is also playing in most senior friendlies and went to Ireland despite being announced as part of the U23 squad, so I'd say he can be added to the CM list in Ashby's place. He's going to feature in the squad multiple times this season from the looks of it.

If you're including U23 players then you've got a striker and a centre back to add.

Cheers! Have made the amendments, adding the U23s in italics
 
Eastwood, Garbutt, Nelson, Carruthers, Brannagan, Henry and Hall are L2 standard? After last season I would say that Dickie is comfortable at L1 as well. McMahon is surely also up there, even if you take a pessimistic view.

So that's nine who are at least L1 standard, and that's without Whyte who is a completely unknown quantity and Baptiste and Napa who look like they are developing nicely.

I'll grant you that we are missing a couple of strikers, a defensive midfield and maybe a dedicated winger but to say that that bunch of players are L2 standard is baffling and reeks of a man with an agenda.
 
Little was playing Right Mid at Ox City, not in the middle, assume he's a winger?

Pekalski got paid off I assume? Not been involved in pre season and the club said he was being released?

Hi Kip, where do you feel we require additional strength? What makes the above league 2?

That has the makings of the team that scraped survival in League 1 last year.

Weve brought in a decent left back on loan, a bog standard l1 right back, and an unknown quantity winger. Carruthers is an ok signing on loan.

Weve let our top scorer go. Despite everyones hopes its apoarent the fabled superstar striker will not arrive.
 
Absolute rubbish. Nelson hardly played last year, Hall hardly played either- both of those are known quantities and will improve the team. Garbutt and Carruthers have good pedigree and will improve the team. So that's four improvements that are absolutely nailed on. Dickie (who markedly improved the defence) arrived only in January. Brannagan also improved our midfield, only started in January and missed matches after that after he was injured. So we will start the season with six better players than we had in place for the vast majority of last season. And that's without any more signings (there will be some), any of the other players stepping up (Little, Baptiste, Napa, Norman, Whyte etc) and any of the more experienced heads (for example Mousinho in his proper midfield position, McMahon) making an impact.

Yes we need strikers (urgently) - doubtless we will get them. They don't have to be (and won't be) 'superstars'.

I thought you were an Oxford supporter (albeit a very depressed one) - now I think you probably bat for the other side, because it's becoming a bit too obvious...

This same squad had a big upturn in results and performances when KR came in, so by performances last season, it's a mid table L1 team.

You're right though, with only three weeks left in the transfer window, there's literally no time left to get us a decent striker or two.
 
Pre Season - Long has been being used at LB, Carroll more in CM than CB...
Agboola seems to have fallen behind Clayton in keeper circles as he went on U23 tour rather than senior - would expect two from these and Stevens to be out on loan again, at least up until Christmas

Decent strikers left are probably now out of our price range. Marquis, Eaves, Bakayoko, Szmodics, Vaughan etc

Coventry have bid 250K+ for Conor Chaplin.
The Posh paid a large sum for Matt Godden.
It's certainly getting harder to compete at this level.

Yes. Agreed. I genuinely think Tiger initially had best intentions when Robbo presented his "hitlist" but then when we enquired as to the prices was like "erm, let me call my old compadres at Reading about their young reserve"

If anyone thinks that we are on our first, or even second choices now, or holding out for a superstar in waiting to be allowed out by his club, is barking up the wrong tree.

Hopefully Robbo can do a Shrewsbury with all the loanees.

I considered if he should be added but I seem to remember reading recently that he has been told to find a club but is yet to leave.

If he is never going to even train or be in England then he is not part of the playing squad really, on the wage bill but not a squad member. I should imagine we will look to a pay off eventually, can’t see him getting a professional contract elsewhere. Worst ever signing contender.

Still a few other strikers out there who would be good enough at this level we could get on loan or permanent but have to pay a decent fee to get them

Eoin Doyle
Adam Armstrong
Omar Bogle
Louis Moult
Christian Doidge (made a bid last summer but in his final year)
Billy Kee

Thanks! Changes made.

Any other U18s that will make the step and feature for the U23s?

A couple of them could be possibilities.
Billy Kee is probably not though due to his well documented health issues and the fact that he is settled in Accrington and has turned down chances to move.

Just been sent out on loan. Guess he should be on the roster!

I'm no mooro, but Albie Hopkins on the bench against Blackburn, perhaps he'll be in line for U23 promotion? Also heard good things regarding Berry-Hargreaves in defence, when he was promoted from the academy.

I initially added both in, however I’m not sure who makes up the U23s at the minute. I assume U18s will be promoted however don’t know them well enough.

I will have another look!
