Transfer News Transfer Window Summer 21

[greatunclekip]

There you go, theres Karls "injury prone punt" signing done! Was getting worried.

Fantastic player on his day, 26 appearances in 2 seasons is a massive concern.

*3 seasons. He didn’t play at all in 18/19.

He's a handsome boy you know, certainly raising the squad average slightly following the regrettable departure of Ruffels.

Came off the bench in the Oli Johnson 2-0, interestingly.

Presumably brought in as first-choice LW?

Continues the general theme of this summer imo - tried and trusted League One recruitments. Could be a real coup if he stays fit.

Low risk, and has a reasonable age, and a point to prove. I think it’s a great punt!

Looks like Jack Stevens twin!:

Give him a chance, most of our great signings have looked underwhelming. I'm liking the new policy of signing rather than taking on loan.

The underwhelming bit is true but how many of those signed with a history of serious and game limiting injuries have worked out?

Do we still have Sam Winnall by the way?

This suggests there may be more news to come today?

I assume the kit launch will come at some stage, but fingers crossed for another transfer.

Surely the low risk thing also depends on how much he is being paid but also on what kind of cover Karl is looking at in BBs position.

 

[Mad Dog]

As long as they can alternate the injuries we will be OK.

Yeah but even when he's (by his standards) fit, Winnall runs like a teddy bear!

 

[Common Villager]

Born and raised in Swindon. Eugh.

Had a glance at the Rovers forum and they were really hoping he was going to resign for them.

A good player back in the day but his recent injury record is atrocious. Hopefully it works out, but not one to get excited about. We might as well have just kept Rob Hall!

 

[ZeroTheHero]

I'm getting distinct Winnall-esque deja vu...

 

[Gobbledgook]

By process of elimination we should able to work out who could sign next.

We've got Matty Taylor CF, Billy Bodin LW, interested in Ellis Harrison CF....... Who played right wing for Bristol Rovers around 2015 to 17????

Liam Sercombe?

Yep, can imagine Karl buying second hand cars. Sales person: Sir, this Bentley is for sale, its had 5 engine failures and has just failed it's MOT. Karl: yep, always wanted a a Bentley. Exactly what I'm looking for. Will take it.

Rob Hall hasn't gone...yet.

 

[oldabingdonian]

Gone from the First Team tab on the club website...

 

[Marked Ox]

Being honest, initial feeling is underwhelmed. It is one of those though that could be inspired if he can recapture his best.

 

[Leysboy]

Bodin will play v Bristol R in pre season and score a hat trick now.

 

[Jackinthebox]

Agent Bodin has arrived!

Shame we are moving away from our model of signing promising young players that we can develop and sell on.

Not Convinced about Bodin, well it's up to him to prove me wrong. Welcome to Oxford Utd and keep your Piggy Fiddling to yourself.
