Lundstsram was incredible his first couple of months, including his debut from what I remember, I seem to remember here just won or been to the final With one of the England youth teams at major tournament when we signed him, Definitely didn’t take long for people to start talking about premiership for him

Southampton enquired about him before he'd even made his league debut for Oxford. He played against Southampton in a training match just after he'd signed for us

 

[MC Yellow]

Yeah but reports are saying he is good and ready he will do well for us

Hope it’s not “Oven Ready”.... might take 50 years to reap the benefits

Seems sensible, a few days on intense training will show us if he's worth the gamble of signing.

We tried signing Jodi 4 seasons ago.

Coventry wanted £1.5 million for him before he got an ACL injury.

City reject Oxford United bid for Jodi Jones - reports

Jones grabbed an impressive opening day hat-trick for the Sky Blues against Notts County

That was when we just sold Marvin Johnson for £2.5M to Middlesbrough under Pep Clotet we signed Mowatt on loan as his replacement in the end

Was very highly rated then done his ACL after scoring a hat trick for Coventry. Been having all kinds of issues with recovery for years before returning last season & playing 9 times.

Rumour has it that Northampton have offered him a deal but he’s chosen to go out to Spain with us to try & earn a deal.

Definitely worth a punt if he's fit again. But assume it will be a one year deal with a low basic. As was Bodin?

Would suggest signings will be announced on Monday or atleast leaked properly.

The deal isn’t the real issue here; the squad place is.

I wish JJ well, but not at our expense.

 

[Oufcrealist]

In fairness…. So are all the top teams in the world. This is not a KR-ism.

Didn't say any different. Just pointing out that he wouldn't play only as a right winger!!

True. But assume he'll only get a deal if he's a) good enough and b) fit. But three ACLs in four years isn't great

 

[oufc1991]

Could we offer JJ a pay as you play abit like Mackie also wasn't bodin on a deal like that last season plus this season we get 5 subs to bring on so might not be as bad as people think

I thought we were 10 players short as of a couple of days ago?

 

[Grumpy Git]

"Alexa, show me a squad to reach 10th-15th"

Alexa, show me a miserable, curmudgeonly killjoy.

 

[JOHN BOY]

Typical Robinson signing time will tell.

5 players short of the 20 man squad cap but that's including Mousinho and Davis and assuming it's still a 20 man squad cap plus 2 goalkeepers next season. With 5 subs allowed next season the squad cap may increase.

At the risk of sounding petty it seemed very much in the direction of KR for being too stubborn. But he’s not trying to pioneer something that’s unproven, if anything he’s following the blueprint of what has been successful at the top level with wide players. Out-and-out wingers are a dying breed.

I absolutely agree Whyte is much better on the right or through the middle but KR experimented with him (AKA, tried to develop his game). It’s as much down to Whyte to adapt which statistically he did well, but to the naked eye it didn’t look natural for him. Saying that he’s far batter than sitting on the touchline in a 442 putting crosses in so he’s a curious one. He is a much, much better player than Holland for example but didn’t grab as many headlines. A bit like McGuane we just need to find the right balance/role for him and all of sudden you’ve got a real monster of a player. I’d have him back tomorrow.

The thing is tho using bodin as an example we wouldn't have got him last season if not foyhid injury record and he didn't turn out to bad and we wouldn't be close to getting JJ this season if he didn't have injuries sometimes they work sometimes they don't
