Ex-Player Thread Raglan joins Vale on loan

Does that spell the end of Raglan in an Oxford shirt? I agree I’d rather have kept him and shipped one of the older players out...
 
Signed a 2 year contract in the summer so could return next season after getting done much needed game time at Vale!!

He could get much needed game time here, the only logical explanation is that the other 3 are that f*****g bad that we couldn’t find a single club willing to take them
 
This makes no f*****g sense what so ever? Let Williamson, mous or martin go out? Raglan is better than all of them, unless we are about to bring in another, but even then u still keep the best of the bunch surely
To be honest perhaps nobody wanted williamson Mous or Martin i certainly wouldn't. perhaps the club are reluctant to let mous go as he is the captain. (although not been playing well lately). I fully expect raglan to be back next season with some game time. I will be very disappointed though if Mous martin and Williamson are still here come end of season.
 
Although, on the face of it, this is a strange one, could it be that he's nowhere near match fit and we want him to get games elsewhere, where he may not be under as much pressure?

Also it's strange, isn't it, how when a player isn't playing, he suddenly becomes a much better player in everyone's opinion?!?!

To be fair, I’ve always quite rated him. Him on the left with Nelson last six games last season was the best centre back pairing I’ve seen for us in a while. It really wouldnt take long to get him up to speed, he played 90 mins in the cup the other day. He’s much better with the ball at feet than any of the other 3, and still wins a lot of headers

Absolutely bemused by this decision. As has been said, Raglan is a far better defender than the ones currently being picked. I was really looking forward to seeing him play and bolster our increasingly fragile defence. Totally confused.
 
I wasn't expecting this news. But, regular games will be good for him after such a long time out. We still have four centre backs, and perhaps have interest in a left footed/sided CB - something that many agree would be beneficial for the team.

Isn’t he out Of contract atthe end of the season, which means he’s free to talk.
 
Could it be for personal reasons?
Does he not come from slightly north of Stoke?
