Heard there were scouts here today from at least 2 clubs looking at Eastwood. I think £500,000+ he's off.


15th May 2018 - 3 year deal signed
19th Jan 2019 - Injured
26th March 2019 - 150th game
29th Aug 2023 - signs deal until 2025

For someone his age i’d take that, as good as he is, and he is bloody good

did they show off their woggles?

 

[isibuko]

Nah f*ck that, half a mil is a pisser for probably our most important player

 

[gingerox]

I'd argue at the moment he's our best player at the moment, wasn't at his best at the start of the season (understandable given settling defence in front of him) but he's been superb recently and is probably one of/the best in the league, and I'd say Championship quality. Only 28, easily got another 5 years in him, hopefully he stays and after that we've got two promising keepers to choose from.
(Still under contract until summer 2019)

Think one thing for sure is Eastwood Won't Leave until summer at least. When your playing every game your bound to be happy. He won't leave for a team in this window unless they are championship and can guarantee he will be first choice.

 

[lukehudson]

Millwall apparently looking to make a bid.

 

[Peterdev]

Just seen on Sky Sports News that the club linked with him was Celtic. Rejected by Oxford on deadline day. I’m glad we kept him as we’d struggle to sign a replacement. Instead they signed an alternative on loan

That was his 100th appearance last night. Since we signed him we have played 102 games [emoji1319][emoji1319]

 

[West Oxon U’s]

What a great one handed save that was from Eastwood - one of the best i’ve seen!

 

[ZeroTheHero]

An excellent, consistent and ever-present player for us and congrats to him on his 100th appearance.

If the rest of the squad was anywhere near up to his standard, we would be right at the top.

 

[moomooland]

Cost us a point against Plymouth.

 

[OxfordBoy]

Cost us a point against Plymouth.

Cost us a goal against Plymouth, bit different

And considering he's been our best player by a landslide for the second year running I think we can probably accept the occasional mistake that every single goalkeeper makes

 

[Followtheox1]

Cost us a point against Plymouth.

The goal was his fault imo. However he also made a great save and has kept us in many games. Our inability to score also cost us a point.

 

[Peterdev]

Eastwood easily our best player. We need to point the finger at the front players or the lack of them

 

[moomooland]

He has made many great saves during his time with us. Maybe dealing with crosses is his weakness. We have changed most of the defence at different times but always remain vulnerable from corners and crosses. Maybe it's him?

 

[Notaswindonfan]

As that loud mouth in the East stand says WE LOVE YOU Easte.

 

[werthersoriginal]

Cost us a point against Plymouth.

You’re lucky to have him. Not sure you deserve him

 

[Marked Ox]

Having only just picked up on it via Clint's tweet shown on the home page (it may have been mentioned elsewhere but missed it): congratulations on your 100th game for Oxford.

 

[Paul Jones]

He's been fantastic for us and most people were doom and gloom when he came back.

Don't think this is a rumor, more speculation from a sports website because of links when at Barnsley. Can't see him going for Eastwood now they have a much bigger budget then Barnsley.

 

[yellowbow]

Hate to say it but I think that would be a very appealing move for him. Obviously just speculation at the moment but could the club really stand in his way if the right price is offered?

 

[horseman]

In a packed thread next week we shall be discussing 'Don't lose your best players whilst all around you are keeping theirs.with special features on Ryan Ledson my journey up north...Simon Eastwood there's no defence..
The stands are empty where's the ambition gone !

 

[Sarge]

Breaking news via ox mail & OUFC official

Eastwood has signed new long contract with oufc
3 year contract

....can't get the link to cut n paste

 

[Oufcad30]

Great news!

 

[Marked Ox]

Very, very happy with that.

 

[Didcotox]

Fantastic news. Could be one of the most important signings of the summer.

 

[radicalox]

Good early sign KR's stance of "take it or leave it" with our best assets is the right strategy. Need to force a decision. No more of this Maguire esque dragging on nonsense.

 

[Paul P]

Really good news and hopefully the first of many! Well done all involved.
