You beat me to it!
Right now I'd settle for a basically competent left back.

and a right backRight now I'd settle for a basically competent left back.
Skarz and Maguire on a BOGOF offer?Right now I'd settle for a basically competent left back.
In the good old days of football when I was a mere lad. Liverpool were the benchmark for many a team.Yep. Pep has only ever taken teams down and when a manger recruits 3 quality players and plays none of them it makes me question his ability! Or are these players he didn't want? GvK over Brannagan and/or Buckley-Ricketts? Pep the Clown - he's lucked so many results.
Perhaps we're not so far apart. IMO we need Payne as he's the only spark we have going forward. Maybe Napa and Wriggley-Bucketts can change th at if they get to play. Maguire gives us everything you & Jason say but he took pace out of Apples' team - he would be fun tho.You beat me to it!
If he wants to leave, sell him now for an immediate payment of 1 Million + add-ons and a decent sell-on clause.
Use the money in this window to:
If we're going to do it, do it quickly so we can freshen up the squad.
- Return Gino to his parent club.
- Pay off Williamson
- Pay off Tiendalli
- Possibly, pay off Martin
- Improve Simon Eastwoods contract
- Send Xemi out on loan
- Buy another left back
- Buy another right back
- Buy a decent striker.
- Controversially return Payne to Huddersfield
- Try and bring back Maguire.
I just assume that you didn't go today?I do actually like Payne but he's never going to be our Player.
I was never a massive Maguire fan when he was here, but I was at Bury this season and it really brought back to me what he was all about, I think it is what we miss.
His tenacity, his ability to hold the ball up and make a pass. The ability to get a bit nasty and wind-u p the opposition. Currently there is a lack of passion in the team.
Thank god you are not the Chairman .....If he wants to leave, sell him now for an immediate payment of 1 Million + add-ons and a decent sell-on clause.

After an injury like that there are better options now - we haven't missed him. We've got Dickie now so sell him if a L2 team come in.What about sorting Curtis Nelson’s contract. He is by far our biggest asset.
I hear what you're saying but this is L1 OUFC. We've picked up some quality potential and we want them to learn from watching GvK? Come on! Plus this team is managed by Clotet the failure not Alf Ramsey!In the good old days of football when I was a mere lad. Liverpool were the benchmark for many a team.
They signed many a big name player, most didn't get in the squad for a few weeks until they'd learnt the Liverpool system/methodology.
Whoops I should've called them the Bindippers
I don't want to appear rude but if you think getting rid of our best defender as he's out with an Achilles injury. I think your away with the bloody fariesAfter an injury like that there are better options now - we haven't missed him. We've got Dickie now so sell him if a L2 team come in.

When did Sir Alf Ramsey manage the Bindippers as my learned colleague Sarge likes to call themI hear what you're saying but this is L1 OUFC. We've picked up some quality potential and we want them to learn from watching GvK? Come on! Plus this team is managed by Clotet the failure not Alf Ramsey!
Nelson will not re-sign.What about sorting Curtis Nelson’s contract. He is by far our biggest asset.
I think for the most part, criticism of the club selling on players is a bit unfair.
Kemar Roofe - Did brilliantly for us and it would have been unfair to stand in his way.
Callum O'Dowda - Probably went a year to early IMO, but it was obvious his dad wanted the best for him and was likely to move within the season.
John Lundstram - Wouldn't sign a new contract. Would have gone for a free at the end of this season.
Chey Dunkley - Wouldn't sign a new contract. Went on a free.
Marvin Johnson - Always looking for a move, we were only ever a stepping stone for him. (He never really had an affinity for the club, so IMO no great loss)
Ryan Ledson - Looks like he's not going to sign another contract. He will be in exactly the same position as Lunny in the Summer.
The club have offered contracts to these players. I don't think OUFC should be held to ransom.
If Michael Appleton had been in charge, we were more likely to sign McAleny, Maguire, possibly Lunny too.
In short, I don't want Lego to go, but if he's not going to sign another contract then he doesn't want to be here for the longer term. IF he did sign a new contract the club are unlikely to stand in his way when a decent offer came in anyway.
Edit: I'm happy that we move players on as long as we are recruiting more young hungry starlets who may (or may not) do the same in a season or two. I'm just hoping that last summers transfers were just a lapse in this system.
Yes I did.I just assume that you didn't go today?
True!Only problem is with this model is how are we ever going to progress as a football club and get promoted to the championship if we keep selling 2-3 of our best players every season, it takes time for players to bed in, we need 3-4 top players as our nucleus, worries me Nelson hasn’t signed a new deal either!
I reckon about 1 to 1.2 million with substantial add ons is more realistic.
Not SIR Alf Ramsey - it was Alf Ramsey the boot boy under Bill Shankly from 1959!! Believe that and I'm as convincing as Clotet....When did Sir Alf Ramsey manage the Bindippers as my learned colleague Sarge likes to call them
