Transfer News January 2018 Transfer Window Rumours

Re sign the cheeky chappy Chris Maguire. What an entertainer, what a free kick specialist. Huge blunder letting him go.
His contract had ended and he signed a contract for a different club. How is that letting him go? Do you mean OUFC did not do enough to offer him a new contract and force him somehow to sign it? Wouldn't it be great if clubs could force the best players to sign contracts without their consent. What a team we could have!

Maguire said himself that he travelled for talks and it seemed by what he was saying that the club didn’t seem to want to keep him. I imagine Henry was already lined up to replace him.
 
Get your drift. Surely the Chairman knew how much the fans thought of Chris. Could he not have gone the extra mile to persuade him to re sign. Of course we do not know the player's demands, but I have to say it was a bitter pill to swallow when I heard he had chosen Bury. However, I live in hope. I love this forum, so many different opinions being put forward.
 
heard there may be a player whose first language is spanish being considered, don't know any other details yet

I was very disappointed that Maguire did not sign a new contract. He is just what the team needs now to improve , however I am not sure that the Chairman should offer contracts to players just because the fans think highly of them. I have no doubt that the Chairman knew what most fans thought about Maguire but to offer him a lucrative contract that would ensure he accepted it because the fans liked him is just not going to happen realistically. I would love it if I could say to the Chairman I really like this player so get him to sign on the dotted line and offer more money than any other club and give him a car and a house too so that he can't say no. Its so easy to spend other peoples money. We have no idea what Bury offered Maguire - perhaps they offered ÂŁ 50,000 to ÂŁ 75,000 more than OUFC did - we just don't know but if they did would you expect Maguire to sign for us over Bury? Where do you draw the line or do you always think OUFC should offer more than any other club does? Reality kicks in when you think about it.

Some on here didn't particularly like him/ rate him. I thought he was excellent but a fair few didn't
DE should never sign a player because the fans like him. Especially when some don't!!
 
Depends if we are thinking of selling him to, say, Stevenage or someone. But extremely unlikely I admit.
I would hope that it is more likely that we are looking at accepting an offer from Mansfield. That was the expectation at the outset of the loan.
 
I think a couple of loan signings may come in but that's it!
 
I get the impression that clothead has thrown down the gauntlet and expects funds to be made available to purchase whoever is identified by the scouting team(!!!!) as viable to his plans. (whatever they may be)
