Definitely worth paying more to live in Oxford. Better support and better weather Well away from the north

I'd 100% agree (hence my paying a fortune to buy in Kidlington). Football players, not sure. We have paid massively over the odds for players to move here before from oop north.
But this is one move that would send out a huge signal of intent. After a summer of pure frustration, I would guess that the season tickets would cover a very decent offer.

Seems that some haven't twigged that he is actually from Oxford originally... And he's on twitter, just ask him: www.twitter.com/s_gilly18.

Perhaps the 250K ringfenced increase will contribute to a nice 'relocation fee' for Gillet?

Scunthorpe is a fantastic place to live? Have you ever been there? I think this story is a work of fiction to be honest. The original poster has linked us to ex-Swindon players Dany N'Guessan, Ryan Harley, Nicky Ajose and tonight Simon Gillett. If one of those comes true I would be happy. If 2/3 come true I'll be over moon with that

Any more news on this? Always thought it was a long shot rumour but would be good to close it off if he's in or out.
Come on Simon you know you want to...

On his twitter feed he says he's joined Ipswich. Then again he could be referring Bartman but I don't know why McCarthy would sign a cartoon character

Simon Gillet would be a fantastic signing. If we did get him we'd have the best midfield in the league.
Does anybody else think this is the "frustrating" signing MAPP was referring to? Trying to find a compromise on his no-doubt higher wage demands?

I've had to look him up. It's amazing that some people have such knowledge of seemingly every footballer playing professionally!

Saw him when he was at Southampton, that's about it, know he'd be brilliant at this level though

I know him very well. He likes to take walks in the countryside on hot summer evenings; He loves French poetry but doesn't understand it's meaning; he chuckles when he see's a poodle shag a lady's leg; he likes to watch the waves crash on an empty beach, but it makes him feel melancholy; he also counts the stars on a pitch black evening, but this makes Gillet Blue too. Yep I know him like the back of my back!

Never heard of him either. Haven't looked him up & don't even know if his name is spelt correctly. The upside of all this though, is that I'm not going to be in slightest bit disappointed when we don't sign him.

I'm surprised a player from Oxford played at a decent level for so long and he never made the why did the club let him go radar at any point.
