There’s still time for him to ketchup. Don’t get all salty just because we couldn’t sweeten the deal enough to perrisuade McLeary to join us. We’re not in the brown stuff yet, but it is a bit of a pickle and I won’t take it as red that Robinson won’t go back to his Roots and bring someone in who can cut the mustard.

Looks like a damp squib of an ending to the loan window.

 

[Mad Dog]

I don't know about anyone else, but I sure am glad that transfer window is over, I'm exhausted, god knows how Robbo must feel!

Shame we couldn't get Mcleary deal done, and disappointed that we didn't sign an experienced CB, as I feel our defence needs a leader.

But all in all, an excellent transfer window, and the best squad we've had for a long time.

We look very dangerous going forward, and once everyone's fit and up to speed, I really feel we're in for an exciting season, and a push for promotion.

Just hope we can plug those leaks in the backline!

COYY

So is this thread now closed?

Agree with the above, a fantastic effort by all concerned. People worked tirelessly around the clock to achieve what, at times, looked impossible. But due to hard work, tenacity and dedication we eventually got there.

410 pages is a great result in anyone’s book.. ?

One of the biggest successes of this window was that we only lost Gavin Whyte, and that was for £3m. We had those convinced that Eastwood was off because his missus sold a sofa, and players like Brannagan and Dickie would also make way to balance the books.

Although Mark Sykes was offered out on loan for more game time, I believe we turned down at least one offer because it wasn't felt right for the player, and he would be better staying with us. We also had offers in for some of the youngsters but KR wants them around to help their development further.

That stability is equally as important as the players we bring in, and no one can deny that we've done pretty well there too. Gorrin, Fosu, Moore, Forde, Ageyi, Taylor, Cadden, Thorne, Woodburn, Berkoe, Zamouri and a couple of youngsters is fantastic business even for the most negative amongst us.

Overall, that ranks as one of the best transfer windows in our history and is an indication of how far we've come as a club since last summer.

We just need to get everyone playing, and tweaking the system to get the best from them and we'll be firing!!

Don't forget we can still pick up a few out of contract players!!! Reckon we could get to 500 pages!!! Come on you posters!!!!

I think you need to have a word with your source!!

 

[Oufcrealist]

Whats going on with McMahon. We tried to move him on surely? Probably stopped us getting someone else in.

 

[Oxfordpete]

Forget about our targets, after only getting 1 point from 5 games Bolton get in 9 players just in time to gel before playing us .....

Wouldn't be surprised if we terminated his contract if he can pick up another club. He's not going to get any game time here unless we have a major issue in defence.

I thought he was a dead cert for a move to Bolton.

They surely can't gel by then. Some on here will have you believe (in oufc's case) it takes a couple of months at least!!
And how does signing all these players that will cost thousands fit with FFP?

Were too short up front, at the back, and out wide.

 

[Neville60]

We are or we were? too short in hight, or short, as in not enough players for those positions?

 

[BigCrompy]

...and in the middle, and in goal, presumably?

The U23's look shite as well.

Still at least we're poles apart from that disgraceful shower of rubbish I had to witness in the mid-80s...almost made my eyes bleed.

But now WE'RE looking great!!!

Glad you're on board Kip, keep it up!!
