Transfer targets?

[androidyellow2]

Rumblings of Ricky Holmes and Sam Smith coming in on Twitter! Be very happy with that, Holmes and Graham would be two excellent wingers at this level and Smith could be good back up to Long

So let’s have a recap:

Definite rumours of the following targets

Sam Smith
Chris Long
Ricky Holmes
Jordan Graham

Anyone want to add to the list? Players linked to us from various sources only, no ‘wish list’ players.

We still need a winger and 2 strikers at least. We need a first team squad of minimum 23, that isn't padded out by youth to give it a false look.

Will you be happy then or will you be demanding another 15 strikers, a squad of 48 and everyone on a 5 year contract?

I think a wide player, definitely 2 strikers, and a centre mid should be enough.

Thought his Bond theme was absolute shite. If he’s as good as our last ex-Reading player, he’ll be a decent acquisition though.

No way could we afford that lot. Ricky Holmes still has a career and must be on god knows what

Potential second triallist spotted on the drone ifollow video around 40 seconds. Running with ball before crossing it. Tied back hair. Resemblance to Freddie Grant and Ben Coker but highly unlikely to be either of them.

Could be Dardan Rexhepi?

Is that an anagram?

If so that is quite a spot! He does have the sort of record/list of clubs that would get Pep Clotet moist though!

According to the League 1 forum we are rumoured to be interested in Jorge Grant.

Nottingham Forest midielder, spent last season on loan at Notts County.

Apparently Sunderland interested aswell. Would be a loan though as Forest see him as a crucial part of there team in 2/3 years. I suppose this is one we could appeal to the player more the Sunderland because this is where he is from.

Has a decent record at Notts County and from Banbury. Could be a decent punt.

We've got 2 loan players in and can have up to a maximum of 5 in any one matchday squad. If used well, which it looks like KR is attempting to do, the loan system can prove to be fruitful, but all the talk of players coming in at the moment are loan deals and we all know the risks involved in that and the concern is we are too focused on these deals than bringing in players on permanent deals who will be assets for OUFC with the potential to generate future income. Yes, you can argue we might get a player who we would otherwise have no chance of getting (wages, fees etc), but it just means we have a constantly revolving door of incoming and outgoing players with little or no affinity or connection to the club and its supporters and come January, we're constantly looking over our shoulders wondering if the parent club will ask for a recall.
