With rumours stepping up that Stoke are to sign Adam Davies from Barnsley.
Could we see Barnsley return for Easty?

General Simon Eastwood wanted

As much as I hope Eastwood will stay I wouldn’t begrudge him a shot at the championship, and Barnsley would be a good move for him. He’s always been a model professional for us, I don’t think he owes us anything.
Incidentally I heard some chatter about Barnsley and Brannagan over the weekend. I hoping it was just BS in silly season though.
I don't see Eastwood going anywhere. He has 2 years left on his current deal, his family are settled and he's just opened a goalkeeping academy, locally. I get footballing aspirations etc but who would want to swap Oxfordshire for Barnsley? Not me. I also think Eastwood was told of the plans with the club in the short to long term and I think that was a motivating factor in him staying. Who knows? Time will tell. I think this transfer window will be exciting, for many reasons.

He does have a buy out clause so the 2 year contract can be overridden.
I am not sure that it would be about leaving Oxford for Barnsley, more playing in the Championship and getting paid am awful lot more.
Hope he stays though.

God knows what was on that piece of paper last summer. I’d like to say Messi, but after tonight it was probably was Origi!!

Been a fabulous keeper but if he goes he goes and we find the best replacement we can. That's life

Lawrence Vigouroux released by Swindon. Would be a decent replacement should Eastie depart.
Really? He never impressed me, plus he has little discipline in a role which requires it

Urgh no, he has been a problem for your team Kip that's why he was sent to play in the Irish league on loan, he is known to be a bad influence in the changing room. I thought you would have known that kip
He just chokes against us ??

I’ve heard that we are talking to the goalkeeper Joe Day from Newport, he was in the league 2 team of the year last season.
He’ll come on a Bosman. If true, suggests there is strong interest in Eastwood.
It’s only a rumour, but from a decent source.

For me if Eastwood does go the two keepers I think would be decent replacements would be Matt Ingram or Freddie Woodman

The lad on loan at afcw from Bournemouth was also very good but would probably be a loan

Eastwood had a buy out clause in his contract.
I wonder how much this was for?

Sideways step in his career ?
Anyone else get the voice of Nessa from Gavin and Stacey in their head when reading that forum or is it just me..?

Until the Billionaire's Boy Club build us a new stadium, the model is to get some productive use out of the players and sell them on for a profit. This would seem to fit the narrative.
As long as we've got ~5 realistic transfer targets with similar potential for each position, I can live with that for the time being, consider our perilous financial position.

lot of if buts and maybe's....have to be careful not to be fighting a relegation battle for a 3rd season
many kept saying they wouldn't trust Robbo with money again and yet reading some threads rumours of our players moving on to be replaced by whom is not very clear and given our off field activities cannot see why players will sudden want come here when we were rejected last season.

Aware that this is an Eastwood thread so this is slightly off topic, and not been on the forum in a while so this may have been discussed elsewhere , but honestly I don’t know why a Championship club wouldn’t come in for Brannagan. He showed to me last year that he’s definitely capable of playing at a higher level and perhaps, not unlike Mowatt, would flourish in a team with better players than we currently possess.

I am not sure why people wouldn't trust KR with money having brought in Whyte and Sykes particularly. The signings in January were very good.
