There are simply too many players pulling a decent wage who are not having an impact. We need 4 or 5 more from here to be able to compete in the top 2.
Oxford Midfielder Linked With Move to Europa Conference League Club
Oxford United midfielder Marcus McGuane is being targeted by Polish side Legia Warsaw, according to Look Sports Media.oxford.vitalfootball.co.uk
IIRC the cat 3 academy was restarted with promotion back to L2. So assume 2010 and if you were a 9 year old then you would be 23 now. In reality from pretty much a standing start I think it takes about 10 years to really build a system and starting bearing fruit. There have been some such as Shandon Baptiste (although not in the academy for long) and of course the current cohort and those coming through but not significant numbers into the first team. Alongside that there are many talented players who never get to the top of the pyramid ay Oxford. For example in the past year there has been circa £400k of players sales.Who are the other talents that our Academy has produced in say, the last 5 years?
The initial offer was described as "derisory" so suspect we are lowballing.
The correct term is 'Blackpooling'.The initial offer was described as "derisory" so suspect we are lowballing.
Does Marcus have a 1 year extension option ?
Well it clearly works, they got a whole 1.5 million pound forward for free! we can only dreamThe correct term is 'Blackpooling'.
Initially £150k plus add-ons. Now £250k.I'd be interested to know what sort of a fee we're talking about. Not exactly been prolific in his career so far, but he's still only 21 and their joint top scorer. Think they signed him for £20,000 from Stoke.
If we could get a mill + I would sell. Would be a great move for him.Oxford Midfielder Linked With Move to Europa Conference League Club

Personally wouldn’t be fussed with him going if we got a fee. He was excellent at the start of this season, but has become incredibly inconsistent recently (typified by ten seconds in the first half against Carlisle where he gave the ball straight to a Carlisle player 30 yards out in a dangerous position, won it back and then went on a 40 yard run), and I think this level right now is his norm.Oxford Midfielder Linked With Move to Europa Conference League Club

I'm not sure. Goodwin has not really scored goals consistently til Clarke came in.. he's got 6.This strikes me as a much better deal to be pursuing than Marriott who sounded all-together much more expensive. Appreciate with that you get a slightly different player than Goodwin but this one feels like a much better fit for us, again, to add to a blended group of strikers.
Constantly among the higher rated players by oppo fans, whose unbiased opinions generally hold more credence...Be gutted in McGuane left. Some fans seem to hold him to such high standards where the odd misplaced pass here and there means he's suddenly out of form. On his day he dominates midfields and that's hard to replace.
Top googling for "obscure European sides" thereSo it starts, the European big guns circling round our players, Mcguane to Legia Warsaw, Henry to Honved, Smyth to Steau Bucharest and Moore to Sheriff Tiraspol.
Would bring much needed height and muscle to the team, something we’ve been crying out for.I'm not sure. Goodwin has not really scored goals consistently til Clarke came in.. he's got 6.
He's a different type of player, tall and quite physical.
It's a gamble for sure, as opposed to proven League 1 goals. But I trust Ed.
