Transfer News January 2021/22 Transfer Window

[gingerox]

Jordan Ibe is a free agent, recently left Derby County by mutual consent. Sadly he has cited depression which is probably the reason he's taken a break from the game, but a move to Oxford could reignite his career as it has done with so many young talents over the last few years.

Still relatively young at 26, I'd back KR to bring the best out of him. At this level that could be a scary prospect, but he'd have to accept a significantly lower wage than his previous few contracts - not unreasonable given his lack of activity.

Bit of a strange move but he’s gone to Turkey:

Robinson can’t win, says we will get business done, it doesn’t happen, criticised. Doesn’t say anything, criticised for not saying anything. There is more than just want in transfers, if you’ve watched the Sunderland documentary and class of 92 series, it shows this a little bit.

I will agree though, if we don’t get the right players in, it could cost us, so far, nobody has left and we don’t know who will come in. Let’s just see at the end of Jan

We will just see how much the board want promotion this January as currently will we be able to attract good players with the ongoing take over debacle.

Browne announced today or tomorrow according to a post on instagram

To us or Sheffield United?

Liam Kelly was tall apparently.

Deceptively so. Remember when that terrier ran onto the pitch and attacked him? He looked quite tall in the photo of that...

Frantically trying to somehow link this to the Forces day when the dog went proper loopy on the pitch.

It's not quite coming together though...

Us, at our training ground currently it says

Hopefully it is accurate.

I think they have also I think KR has taken us to where he can now I think a change in management is needed keeps saying we need this and that but nobody coming in while Fleetwood, Wigan ect signing good players they are out there and if we don't strengthen this window the writing is on the wall for KR

Yes, that's why the board have paid up the release clause for Kane. The board have no faith in Robinson.

Hell of a signing for them… glad we’ve played them twice.

If this is true then I’ll be even more interested to see the signings we make the next 2 weeks…

That looks as though it has been photoshopped!

Yes - that does rather up the ante doesn't it - Lincoln are hardly high flyers but perhaps they could offer him pretty much guaranteed first team football.

Well they have also signed two strikers from Swansea recently although I think one plays on the wing mainly. The other however is definitely a CF Cullen.

This is a good point. So long as we get what we want, clubs like Lincoln strengthening in this way can only help us, taking points of those hopefully around us!

That's an insane signing for them tbh.

Should of been who we targeted, I would of liked him and Taylor two up top, Simms was such a handful last season for Blackpool

 

[OX14]

Have we signed anyone yet? 2 weeks 6 hours and 50 minutes left. Come on board let's see some intent!

How very dare you...

You think I'd pay out for Photoshop when GIMP is free? (and seriously, if you have a PC and want a decent free picture editor, give GIMP a go)
