Talked about on the transfer thread but just thought I'd start his own thread. On paper, very happy with this.
Welcome Marcus and I hope you have a successful and enjoyable time at Oxford.
Yeah, Welcome Marcus,. Shame we couldn't have got him on a permanent contract. Looks like a similar player to Shandon.

I said it was him. ?
If you’d told me back in 2006 after relegation that we would have had two players who had been on the books of Barcelona* sign for us, I’d told you where to go. Welcome, Marcus. He has a good pedigree to succeed here.
*we won’t talk about the first one we had though ?

People seem almost underwhelmed by this one, I’m surprised as surely he has the potential to be one of the best players in the team?

Some more highlights and how he played relatively recently.
And he is 2 footed from this albeit I could score some of them

I cant remember who or where I saw this. But I read a quote from an Arsenal senior manager who said out of the hundreds of players in the academy, McGuane had one of the highest potentials. So big praise for the lad throughout his youth career. A good replacement for Shandon, really happy with that.

It was Joncker who then coached him at Telstar - kid had fallen out of favour at Barca with regime change and he wanted someone to help him get his mojo back

Could be a great signing, let's hope so.
Do they? I'm seeing absolutely nothing but "what a signing" on Twitter from our fans and other fans in our league.

Just noticed Forrest announced it 2 days before we did - looks like he could be very good and frankly most L1 signings aren’t gonna be nailed in super stars - McGuane has pedigree and looks like he has a high ceiling. Hopefully he produces the goods in yellow! Obvs would prefer him on permanent, but if he does use Oxford as a springboard, it can only boost our chances of landing other good young players down the line as they know they will get a chance to perform in a higher league style system.

Well he’s never played a league game here and most won’t have heard of him but he looks promising and hopefully will be great

I think it’s fairly common knowledge (and common sense) that season ticket holders will be the first, and maybe only, fans back next season. If only for the fact they have already bought tickets.

From the video he looks very strong on the ball. Can’t wait to see him running at the scums defence with them frantically back peddling!!!
I wonder if he will be as good as the last player we signed that had played for Barcelona B. Just saying...………………..

Unless McGuane is a part time footballer/part time medical student too then I think it’s fair to say he’ll definitely be as good. Maybe even better!
He's one of those where he might be absolutely brilliant, as good as Brannigan and making a formidable midfield partnership with him, or instead he might be another Woodburn and it doesn't really work out here for him, for whatever reason. I'm really hoping it's the former, as a strong midfield pairing could be our first steps towards dominating teams in this league

Think he'll do very well, but the only danger being the choppers in other teams when - they find out - they can't stop him by fair means. We'll see how good the referees are.
Translation - Pritchard promises that we're going to dominate the league this year.
(Having only seen him once, not in person, for a half) - I don’t think he’s as good a dribbler as Baptiste, but maybe a better short passer and a bit better defensively.
