Re: The generic transfer thread

I will forever hate these “deal sheets” the PL do. They’ve had in practice since May to put a squad together.

Re: transfer deadline day thread

I understand letting him go in principle, but I don’t understand how Joel Pereira is meant to be an upgrade on him. Unlikely to be much better.

Re: Summer 2023 Transfer Speculation

I hope experience is something that’s being looked at too. Would imagine in September we’ll have some good ones still looking for clubs that we could pickup.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (h)

Youngsters have risen to the challenge yet again. They’ll need some help as the season goes but hard not to be impressed at how many have seized the opportunity.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (h)

I don’t think Wifi and Carroll can really play together but we still need some experience up top. Possibly partner Carroll with Vickers or go 4-3-3.

Re: Ex Players

Shows he just has an agent who while doesn’t seem to be advising him particularly badly, also knows his potential and insists on release clauses. Wonder if the people that initially gave all the grief and still do, will now acknowledge that it was have Olise with a low release clause, or don’t have ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cheltenham Town (h)

Button was really impressive, seemed calm claiming crosses and distributing the ball. Abbey played really well as did the other youngsters, but always helps knowing you have a keeper you can depend on. Absolutely everything you would expect from every senior player we still have in our books.

Sam Smith being out really has oxf*rd things for us. Badly lack someone with conviction in attack.

Re: CONFIRMED - David Button

Not had a good run of games for a few years so might need a bit of time to get up to speed. We do like an erratic keeper.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Millwall (a)

In recent years the young players failed to show anything to suggest they deserve a go in the first team when it comes to it but can’t argue against a scoreline like that. Huge confidence booster for Kelvin E who we’ll need goals from while Smith is out too.

Re: Summer 2023 Transfer Speculation

The talk stems from a misrepresented quote by the look of it. The manager of Angola just wants him to find a club soon after leaving Reading and he does not explicitly say Reading are trying to sign him.

Highly doubt the club welcomes him back after Huddersfield.

Re: Summer 2023 Transfer Speculation

Foundations of the squad are coming together very nicely. Hopefully we have some exciting loans lined up to add that cutting edge I think the squad still lacks to an extent.

Re: The squad in July

A solid but unspectacular season awaits given the squad we have right now I think. Fear it’s too late in pre season for Selles to work with a squad properly so I hope unless he’s doing particularly badly that he is given time.

Re: The squad in July

Going to be honest, hoping that a load of youth players step up to the plate is what will have us closer to League Two than the Championship.

The club desperately needs to be honest about its financial position and learn to communicate. Something doesn’t add up.

Certain people demanding answers from the club predictably. Don’t really know what they’re meant to do publicly. It’s none of our business.
