Transfer News Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

[Evan9]

George Elek on The Dub definitely hinting at Greg Leigh joining on loan, I think. (He mentioned an experienced player in their late 20s, whose name has been mentioned quite a bit, and from other comments he made it clearly wasn't a striker signing.)

Also mentioned it could have been announced before the podcast came out announcement today ?

Brighton linked with Negru. Not a link that I am that concerned with to be honest and may play our hands into giving him a long contract.

Mad though he is already getting linked after playing 5 league one games!

Maybe they did a photoshoot with them at Blenheim earlier, with an announcement out tomorrow?

Herbie Kane has been told he can leave Barnsley. If the price is right, I’d have him back in a flash!

 

[Shosho]

I'm sorry, your views don't count. You're too well informed. I much prefer it when posters just look at random stats with no real context.

Sorry, will just quote goals scored in the future!

Rumours are he is going to Bristol City to replace Alex Scott who has signed for Bournemouth for £25m, I think we might get outbid. Herbie will also be returning to hometown Bristol.

I wouldn't.

With the number of holes we still have in our squad (not so much team, but squad), paying to sign another small midfield playmaker without much in the way of defensive instincts, when we already have three good players in central midfield that we can't fit into the same side would be.......extravagant......

 

[Lescottsforehead]

You can't sign strikers. Neeext.

So Mark Harris isn’t a striker yet has 3 goals already this season compared to Nombe who has a big fat 0 in 4 appearances. Still, he would cost a fee which clearly makes all the difference.

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.

Yeah, I think a reasonable offer for Murphy right now would be £0, plus we only have to pay 20% of his salary.

I'd pack his bags for that if it meant Manning could reinvest the 80% of what we're paying him back into the squad.

I think that was in direct response to Barnsley changing their shape. I'm not sure that we'll change to a 3/5 permanently but it's good to have the option to change things if we did.

A dynamic manager - that's new.

If you think common sense will ever stop people wanting us to sign back on former players then you are going to be disappointed on a frequent basis while reading this forum.

Not sure Mfuni was ever in first team contention other than being too old for the U18s. Expect he'll just hang around and play in arranged friendlies and maybe get a loan before being released.

But he was specifically handpicked, after countless hours research and scouting, as the best 18/19 year old centre-back prospect from across Europe that we could sign in January?

The next in the conveyor belt, to follow in the shoes of McNally and Negru? A player signed purely for the benefit of Oxford United Football Club?

That's why we signed him, right?

 

[Wallop]

I've got him down as end of next season with an extension option in the club's favour.

Can't remember where I sourced that from though.

So no massive panic on giving him a new deal then with 3 seasons to go.

 

[Marked Ox]

Have they signed him then?

Eddie Hutchinson would be better but make sure the Fax Machine works first.

Barnsley are usually very good at getting out of this league, this year however seems rather messy from the outside.

I agree 100% but imagine losing Herbie Kane, selling your best CB for millions, and the chaos only being that you bid £1m for Sam Nombe.

Swap out Sam Nombe for Josh Murphy and Yanic Wildschut and I’m imagining it quite easily.

Exactly - CSKA Sofia be waiting by the phone I’d have thought.
