I am deeply concerned now with the future of OUFC not being very rosey. The lack of transfer activity is starting t be a major concern and maybe the new owners aren't right for this club. MA has contacts according to a coupe of other posters, It don't look very good on the transfer contact front. People on here say don't worry, But ffs strikers we are doomed defence ok midfield 50/50 I think maybe DE/MASH start to splash the cash otherwise this coming season could be as the 2nd half of last season was, which inevitably would end up with us fighting relegation.

Don't think any of our ITK friends had picked Scott Allan as a possible target. Seems like the new management team are a bit more circumspect with their dealings.

Chris Forrester from St Pats in the league of Ireland would be a great signing and he wants to play in England

Signings from Scotland, that's enough to give me nightmares! We had a few the year we conceded over a hundred goals didn't we? Was it McGowen, Robertson, Lilley, And then we had Ian McCaldon, Dave McKaay and Derek Townsley!!!

If that is the calibre of player we are after I am expecting some serious signings coming up Totally agree We've missed out on a few good names already but least were out there looking for good improvements instead of looking at journeyman what we've done for the last decade or so, very positive if we can pull them off

I am deeply concerned now with the future of OUFC not being very rosey. The lack of transfer activity is starting t be a major concern and maybe the new owners aren't right for this club. MA has contacts according to a coupe of other posters, It don't look very good on the transfer contact front. People on here say don't worry, But ffs strikers we are doomed defence ok midfield 50/50 I think maybe DE/MASH start to splash the cash otherwise this coming season could be as the 2nd half of last season was, which inevitably would end up with us fighting relegation. Highly unlikely that we would spend mega money (by our standards) on coaching and back room staff, and then not bring any decent players in. OUFC would have been sold to the new coaching team, and along with the obvious (wage), amongst other things there would have been guarantees of players. On another note, must say that yesterday's result suggests that the Development squad is "developing" well. The Southampton model is maybe one we should consider - in each position a first team player is backed up with a younger home grown player. We need 2 additional goal scorers should we have any aspirations for promotion. In other areas we are reasonably comfortable, especially is MA does something Wilder's fascination with the long ball.....

Manage Birmingham , add oxford as another team, transfer all good player for free to Birmingham while buying a shit Birmingham player for a lot of money. Pull out of oxford. Mission complete . Surely not

I say do not worry, I would rather the right people be signed and actually signing no-one is better than wasting money on the wroing players. How can you decide the new owners are not right because they have not done in 2 weeks what had not been done in the previous 10 weeks, maybe its because you decided that a long time ago and now just want a story to justify your view At this point we have to assume that there is a lot going on behind the scenes, we have been told there is, but then again I guess you want to disbelieve that as well. I will be more concerned in 2 weeks time, until them I am really not worrying too much, as a new manager and new owners I am comfortable that they are more worried about it than me and they can do something about it and I can't. Actually the other thing is that as has been said maybe the development squad are a lot closer than we think, they are a year older and wiser and may make a bigger impact than we think Be patient

I agree not to waste money on wrong players we've been there before. Yes a lot must be gong on behind the scene, I hope the priority would be getting the necessary players in.

Actually the other thing is that as has been said maybe the development squad are a lot closer than we think, they are a year older and wiser and may make a bigger impact than we think Be patient I have to agree, we are all bloody frustrated but if we were in for players like Scott Allan, then the wait is going to be worth while. Appleton is indicating he could have two in before the Wolves game, so even if Allan was one of them there should be one decent signing coming in on Monday/Tuesday. To an extent I don't care if we wait till the season has been going a few weeks till we get the ''right''players . They have said money is available, it has not been spent yet so all we can do is wait and see. He has signed Collins who looks decent and the loan of the highly rated keeper today, Appleton is not going to deal in rubbish. The annoying thing is not so much that Appleton has been slow to get people in ...but that this takeover should have been sorted out at the end of last season and he could have been appointed earlier.
