[SteMerritt]

To be fair, Robinson did say that he was looking to supplement the squad!

Another local lad missed.

Ah well, we have a 4 of our own in our starting 11 right now and plenty more coming through.

 

[Big Ronaldo]

As I see it, Barrett couldn’t have been a player in our plans or he would have been signed to us not them.
As a local lad, why go to Rovers when we are more likely to nurture a players talent and deliver success? It’s a shame really though, after all... Holland and Barrett Ruffels Moore Long dickie has a bit of something about it.

We were definitely interested, and I believe conversations took place. Not sure on the ins and outs of why he didn’t end up here though. He’s a good lad and has lots of talent. it would have been great to see him join us from a personal point of view

 

[Oxford1996]

We was set to sign him but pulled the plug for Holland instead I believe

Err only 1, Sam Long.

 

[LeftSideBoy]

Ruffels, Baptiste, Taylor and Long - All either academy players or local lads.

 

[LondonRoader]

Long, Baptiste, Taylor, Ruffels.

Babtiste came with Napa from West Ham at 15, Josh was at cov, bit of a stretch on Taylor, he's been around the block a bit and is on BC books.

When sold, Baptiste will be a product of the OUFC academy. 100%

Really, came to Oxford at 15, that's not saying the academy haven't produced a promising player.
We obviously have differing opinions of "one of our own".

Thought baptiste came from Reading.....they are all local lads though which was the point ..as would Josh Barrett...obvs better if through our system from a young age though.

came from Reading at 17

Both came from Reading, at 16 & 17.

 

[Marked Ox]

Both came from Reading, at 16 & 17.

Thought Napa, like Manny Agboola, came via the Majedski Academy rather than Reading themselves? Or are they one and the same thing?

They could have been at both. AFAIK the Majedski Academy is a school (a specialised sports school trust), they were at Reading FC academy though.

Id assume Reading FC (aka the Plastics) have some involvement with the Madjeski Academy as theyre both based at the same place? ?

 

[Mellowyellow]

Long, Baptiste, Taylor, Ruffels.

Baptiste came from Reading. Long is the only genuine one I think.

 

[Marked Ox]

They were still part of our Academy whether they started at 11 or 17.

 

[battman]

Another local lad missed.

Another? Who are the others?

 

[Foley]

Another? Who are the others?

Is he better than Kelly?
