    Transfer Rumour Bassette to FC Utrecht

    He will have complained about being dropped and took his ball home probably. Who can blame him when Simmo couldn't score in a knocking shop (as the saying goes!)

    Haji Wright Injured?

    and he'll be hungry to get his place back well in time for the WC

    Transfer Rumour Bassette to FC Utrecht

    We supposedly have an option to recall in Jan, which would trump all other clauses, I suppose. Their option might be no more than first dibs we just don't know. The club made nothing of either of these terms in its statement it was all at the other end.

    Put it this way, would we accept no goals and no assists from Milan? I think the straight answer is no we wouldn't so why Dasilva? That is why Brau has be brought in and to give some cover to Mason-Clark.

    Haji Wright Injured?

    Lost his place when he was sent home injured in the summer is probably a bit fairer to him than not selected. He'll need to wait for another chance.

    Jay Dasilva

    We won't miss the 0 goals and 0 assist from last season very much! We need more from him if he's going to play regularly.

    Does anyone else feel that we’ve been sold short ?

    Exactly, nothing will be said! Another approach is to an agree a short statement aong the lines of "talks are taking place and some progress is being made..." My impression is that the club might have been looking at Hughes, with Woolfenden, or one or the other but needed to raise funds. We...

    Does anyone else feel that we’ve been sold short ?

    Don't worry Chris it's good thing not be gullible! The way the transfer window plays in the press is all about advertising for them and the "facts" come second third and fourth. In any protracted negotiation that I've been involved there will be an agreement between sides about what to say, if...

    Transfer Rumour Miguel Ángel Brau

    Yes he's probably done the behind him thing with the knee already. Ouch!

    Does anyone else feel that we’ve been sold short ?

    I know there's a lot more to serious negotiations with millions of pounds at stake than that trivial nonsense. It's all click bait!

    Does anyone else feel that we’ve been sold short ?

    Yes, it's still a while before the next accounts are due.

    Does anyone else feel that we’ve been sold short ?

    Yes but perhaps not if the total losses start becoming £25 or £30m over the 3 years all of a sudden. As you rightly said it's as much about the wages

    Does anyone else feel that we’ve been sold short ?

    Clearly the big value in his investment comes with promotion but the finances are so delicately balanced. The thing that persuaded him to sack Robins in the end was threat to the income streams of a relegation fight.

    Does anyone else feel that we’ve been sold short ?

    It's pretty clear they're running a budget for around 23-25 seniors registered players. That's still a smallish squad especially with the older/better u-21s out on loan. They'll also be paying player transfers over 3 years or so and big committments in the past couple of seasons will still be...

    Does anyone else feel that we’ve been sold short ?

    Around £5m seems to get you a solid champ player still in most positions, except top goal scorers. These kinds of players are never going to be turned around for big money though, so you can't be a "Brentford" doing that. The best we can really hope for on average is a return something close to...

    Match Thread Oxford Utd vs Coventry City Saturday 30th August 3pm KO

    I think it's a tough decision isn't it, although I agree that Thomas hasn't started too well. He is very strong in the air in the box and we have suffered when he's been missing in the past.

    Does anyone else feel that we’ve been sold short ?

    Maybe, maybe not, perhaps not all of them together, nobody knows the detail (but then you know that). It's quite likely that any business would have depended on somebody going too. What we do know is that Woolfenden had been on the radar for a long time (like most, if not all of our transfers in)

    They will usually give a partial refund but only if you complain. I haven't had any issues with the audio feed (other than the mess at CWR!)

    Match Thread Oxford Utd vs Coventry City Saturday 30th August 3pm KO

    I thought we were a bit unlucky and we didn't have Haji fit. I think he's getting there now but probably still has more to come.
