Summer 2018 Official Transfer Thread ****

[werthersoriginal]

First targets not landed unfortunately. Onto second/third options. Last years performance means we have a lot to do to convince players of our ambition.

You don't know anything about what's going on, so please don't pretend you do.

Hands up if you think Tiger actually has any money.

Until he manages to shift a few shares onto some wealthy people I wouldn't hold your breath on seeing more than a few loans and some kids on a free.

What was the giveaway for you?

1. Acquiring the club on tick from Eales?
2. The late tax payment?
3. Lack of transfer activity to date & increased reliance on unproven U23s?
4. Combination of the above?

Are we to read anything into the fact oxford mail has not released anything/random B*****s about KR and his thoughts on England regarding OUFC today? Here hoping for that incoming siren

Probably because David Pritchard is away

 

[Didcotox]

I’ll be worried in two weeks time if there’s hasn’t been significant progress.

Right now I am relaxed about the whole situation.

That's a good sign. Signings always happen when he's not about.

Thought he funded the Dickie and Brannigan deals in January.

Does anyone know if we get a sell on from Roofe? Looks like leaving for 7m

 

[Victor1986]

It would be pretty dim of us if we did not put a "sell on" for Kemar.

I have a feeling this week will see some new arrivals now that the Rothwell situation is sorted.

 

[derbyyellow]

Should be some good news around Curtis Nelson this week I am informed.

Even 10% would be nice.

His brothers staying in Love Island?

His brothers staying in Love Island?

I hear from colleagues at work that he's bit of a love rat on Love Island. The rest is lost on me

Imagine getting a kick out of pretending know damning intel about the team you 'support'

My Tiger BS-Ometer is nudging 11.
Am ignoring all the Pep Euro-dross.
But out goes:
Ledson
Rothwell
Ricardinho (probably)
Kane
And in comes:
Carruthers (on loan)
A bloke from King's Lynn
Three young players, one of whom couldn't get a contract with Mansfield, while another has won a magazine competition....

And in five days, we're off to Ireland. And all managers want their players in place for pre season. So either:
1. We keep being rejected by loads of top L1/Championship players, or...
2. 4-5 proper players are signing in the next five days, or....
3. Tiger actually doesn't have the money to back up all the bluster

My bet is on (3)

Nothing no unusual then

 

[tatabanya]

You make some interesting points, but rather spoil any notion of reasoned debate with silly remarks like "A bloke from Kings Lynn" and "won a magazine competition". One would almost think you've made your mind up.

Are you, or are you not, privy to insider information. If not, then stop posting these meaningless comments. Credit us with a certain amount of intelligence please.

Sometimes it feels like some of my fellow supporters actually enjoy the thought of things going badly for OUFC so they can type "I told you so". I wonder if they have planned how they're going to maximise their enjoyment, savouring every pico-second of pleasure and bask in their glory.

Feels like one of those times now.

There's only one brother staying anywhere and that'll be Curtis at the U's
