Well deadline day is finally here and we can expect a busy one. Marvin to Middlesbrough is all but confirmed and then it's over to us to do some business. According to the Ox Mail we are chasing 4 targets. God knows who they are or how many we will land but it's fair to say we should be in for an interesting day.
Personally would like to see us bring in a CB (probably on loan until Jan at which point Raglan will be fit) a powerful CM, a winger to replace Marv and a striker.
Happy deadline day everyone!

Well, my wish list is Ricky Lambert; Dean Whitehead; Jordan Graham and a Gary Briggs type CB. Yours?

Gary Briggs,going off piste slightly but how we could do with him now. It's sad that probably half the people on here never saw him play

It's sad that probably half the people on here never saw him play I think he would be the perfect foil for Curtis although I doubt in the modern game he'd get away with what he did when he was playing! Although both now 35, Lambert and Deano on one year deals would give us that bit of nous and experience we need in this transition season.

Well, my wish list is Ricky Lambert; Dean Whitehead; Jordan Graham and a Gary Briggs type CB. Yours? Sat and chatted to Gary Briggs in the lounge before Saturday's game. He isn't that bothered about football really and always loved rugby league more. I guess that explains a lot about the way he tackled. As for the signings, I think we may have enough at CB to cover but I guess it depends if Raglan is back soon. Both Lambert and Whitehead would a great additions but I wouldn't take both. We need to start the conveyor belt rolling again and i'd like to see some up and coming talent signed up. I'd take Whitehead of the two, would be nice to have that class and experience in the middle and I think Obika should be getting games if we play a more hold up striker and a young talent come in to challenge for the spot/play alongside when needed. Jordan Graham, yes please.

No rush for him. Only up the M40 we can go in for him later. Let's look to get targets in that are further away geographically first. Unless we have a helicopter available.

I dont think Jodi Jones is worth 1.5 million as per that link. He is 19 and inconsistent. Potential yes but not worth mega bucks.

Wonder if the OM means that we're after four different signings or just 4 different options for one position

I have a horrible feeling the MJ transfer won't be completed until late in the day, and all we hear in the meantime is that our bids for new signings all get rejected.
(I must top this half empty glass up at some point)

(I must top this half empty glass up at some point) I'm pretty sure the club will be confident that the transfer will go though. They don't need to wait for it to be confirmed by Sky's Sports News before they can start acting to bring in their own targets.

If they are after £0.5M, we should be able to get hm. I wonder if has asked Marvin about OUFC?

They don't need to wait for it to be confirmed by Sky's Sports News before they can start acting to bring in their own targets. I completely agree, I was referring more to the information we get from the media through the day, in that it could be mainly news of rejected bids, with the first 'real' piece of action being the confirmed sale of MJ later in the day. It was more a comment that it may be a slow news day for anything to actually happen, and even then it may not live up to expectations.

I'd be happy with both of those - young, talented, prospects who we should be able to sell on for a decent fee in a couple of years. Lets just get a young CB and striker on loan from a Premiership team and we'd be well, well set.

Post by barryspang on Aug 31, 2017 10:34:53 GMT
The most pleasing thing about the 2 rejected bids this morning is it becomes clear that we are looking to restock the pool of young talented assets which we have had over the last couple of years.
