10 months left on his deal. Wouldn’t like to depend on a tribunal to value him next summer.

You mean 22 months?

Let's have a quiz to see what Bazza is on about this morning.
I'm going to say Norwood West Brom?

You've not heard of crack Yugoslav outfit Sweetheart Bosnian? Once played Derby in the UEFA Cup.

I thought it was one those three word location things that can tell you exactly where you are!

I'm darling.lion.race!!!

It's actually the activation phrase for one of the sleeper agents that Bazzer is handling on this forum.

Can we do that? Isn’t the squad capped at 22 players? From what I can make out players 21 or under don’t count unless they are loaned in, in which case they do. So if that is the case McGuane would count as a member of that squad. I think we’re at 21 currently if Osei Yaw isn’t included due to his age. So guess that means a more senior player would need to leave to make space for more than one addition. I could be wrong though.

Where did you read that about loan players being included in the 22 even if they are are under 21? I haven't seen anything mentioned like that from what I've read.

I also get us at 21 currently but as an aside McGuane isn't a senior player whilst Osei Yaw is.

I had no idea you were living in Mississippi. How do you get all the gossip from there?

 

[RyanioBirdio]

You mean 22 months?

I mean 10 months.

 

[beyondthefourth]

I mean 10 months.

Maybe both are correct and there's an option for a years extension?

I'd just be surprised that there's no news stories from the Oxford Mail raising it as an issue, or anything from Karl saying he wants to make a contract offer ASAP or else accept bids from outside.

 

[Marked Ox]

I mean 10 months.

Could the club have an option and that explains the difference?

So why would the BBC know that and Oxford United not?

I’m citing the football club. I’m assuming they know.

Haven't a clue, just trying to see why there was a discrepancy.

They might know but not report it. You'd assume they'd not give the Number 10 shirt to a player that's so dangerously close to leaving.

Cooper in NI squad, more value added

Cooper and Lavery in NI squad

Oxford United's Joel Cooper and Linfield's Shayne Lavery are named in Ian Baraclough's first squad as Northern Ireland manager.

Until Oxford United confirm they got their own announcement wrong I can only assume it’s because they didn’t. If they correct it going forward fair enough. As it stands, they’ve always said he’s out of contract next June. We’ve never been shy about saying what deals we have extension options on, so I’m unsure why they’d forget that one but tell the BBC so they could report it.

We gave Whyte 10 last summer. He was gone a fortnight later. Doesn’t mean it’ll happen again, I’m merely saying we’ve done it.

Monday’s, eh.

That covers nearly all those who post! (and one in particular, of course )

I also get us at 21 currently but as an aside McGuane isn't a senior player whilst Osei Yaw is.

It was quoted in the Stoke local rag based on an article in the Telegraph. But I’m struggling to find much official about this, so it may be that this was being considered but never came into effect with the ruling.

 

[Wallop]

I think Sykes will have a big year for us (and fully expect him to sign an extension), but his current value is probably around £500-750k at best, and we'd be better keeping him. Dickie is attracting bids upwards of £2-3m and would cover a big chunk of our losses.

Are those firm bids or paper/social media talk? I believe it's the latter but would be delighted if I'm wrong!

We all know that clubs sound each other out, often through agents or paper talk, long before formal bids are made. The absence of a formal bid doesn't mean that there is no activity.

Bloody typos fat fingers and iPhone keypad?
It should have said Norward and Grigg being looked at by Swindon

I will leave the sexual advances toward the playing staff to you @beyondthefourth ?
