Transfer News Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

Hmm, do I believe you, or the ever-reliable Wikipedia (which has TG at 40, and GOD at 30 but nothing for this season)

I'm surprised by both the totals (I'm going with your figures), I'd have both about half of that! Goodrham could be on to beat John Shuker at the rate he's going...

Let’s take it to RageOnline. Saturday’s game still to be updated.

Greg Leigh in freeing up Brown to leave?

Noooooo! You are allowed more than one left back FFS!

Or am I being whooshed here?

GOD has mainly been a sub, whereas from memory Baptiste was a frequent starter

I always knew that you would join me eventually.

It is your destiny.

Greg Leigh in freeing up Brown to leave?

In which case we still need another left back as cover……….. this will go on and on

Also now that Browne is injured and Murphy is being made available for transfer we need a replacement there and of course up front.

So we need four in

Two left backs if Brown leaves
One winger
One forward

Probably could do with two of those as permanent signings

A sensible research path.

It does make me wonder if TG is the youngest player in OUFC history to hit 50 appearances (well, until G'OD gets there). Can't think of many who would potentially have got there quicker. Jason Seacole maybe in the 70s?

 

[oufc1991]

How about Leigh and Johnson those two could cover LB and LW

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

Billy Jeffrey I'd think must be around there re appearances at a young age

 

[North Wales Yellow]

Could Browne's injury force a change of shape? I know Manning played a back 3 at MK.

IF Leigh is incoming then Brown could play LCB and Leigh LWB

 

[CCYellow]

What is it with random tweets being taken as gospel on this forum?

The same account saying that Brown is of interest to Aberdeen also said that Brannagan was off to Derby after he fell out with Manning.

Sure, it could be true that Aberdeen bid for Brown, but unlikely.
And the 'fact' we rejected the bid, suggests he's not going anywhere.

Where has it been said by the club Murphy is available for transfer?

I get that if we have a reasonable offer for him, then we'd accept it but that has been the case all summer.

A respected journalist put it up on their Twitter. (Darren Witcoop)

If we were to sign a left back then sell one at the same time you would have to laugh, it would be a bitter and twisted laugh, perhaps more of a deranged cackle, but still a laugh.

Ah, ok. Is it really any different from the situation as was anyway?

No sure Browne's injury will be the reason that we change. Rather, we need credible wing back options to make it work. The left side is the issue as imagine that Stevens would play on the right. Brown would slot into the LCB position.

At the moment the formation isn't possible. However if someone like Leigh or Johnsons comes in then it might.

 

[Malc]

Get a new LB in? Yes, needed.
Sell Brown? No way. He's a very useful player, if not the fastest. And he gives his all.

We went to a back 3 when Stevens came on on Saturday.

That would be ideal.
