£23k a year ..... sign him on !!!!!;):)

Thoir saying on Talksport that we will invest to be competitive in the championship. Something I guess that we knew but good to hear it nevertheless.

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: 🤣 Maybe I did!! What I will say though is that I have never ever started a negative thread and my posting style is often more reactive than pro active, so if I'm repeating something the chances are it's reacting to something that, by definition, must have also been a...

Sublime skill. If KDB does that on Sky they'd be talking it about it for weeks.

No point getting in to petty squabbling on the back of one of our greatest days but repetition of a viewpoint is how the world works in virtually every scenario of contrasting opinions. People hammer home their points, it's how it is. Imagine on this forum we were in a pub debating it, we...

Obviously we need the quality but allied with robustness. We have to get it right and make sure we are signing players that can get on the field on a regular basis. Harris is the best example, he has taken a physical battering at times up there on his own but he's always available. No ones going...

It’s staggering how quick football can change your opinion. A month or two back I’d have gladly taxied Cumming as far away from Oxford as possible, he looked a bit hopeless I thought. Roll on a few weeks and I’d be up for trying to sign him, he’s been excellent.

I’ve said it previously that I didn’t think calling for his head was so absurdly unwarranted, yes it was the extremist of opinions but there was a point - culminating in Bolton - where the football was so stale, so ponderous and so dreary. Couple that with the worrying lack of desire and effort...

If I had to pick one player from the three game play off campaign it would be Tyler, he’s been outstanding across the three games. I keep thinking ‘oh sh*t’ someone from the championship will come for him …. Forgetting of course what we now are, a sure sign it hasn’t properly sunk in yet!!!

I have since retracted my opinion on Des’s capabilities to lead Oxford United to success but as this is an official thread - Des, I apologise unreservedly and offer my sincerest thank you for giving me one of my top three days - in 53 years - as an Oxford fan. Utterly unforgettable and we didn’t...

Yes, you’re probably right, £400,000 seems a big outlay otherwise. Then again with things looking all a bit dismal in January with no cohesion, flakey results etc were we making the signing with L1 next season in mind? The prospect of Championship football looked a million miles away around the...

Depends what quality they are, only a fool would dismiss a signing on the basis they once played for us.

I wonder if we’d still have signed Goodwin if we knew we were going to be in the championship? Definitely need reinforcements up front though, the taking of the odd chances that will come our way against some of the big hitters (Burnley, Sheffield U, Leeds, Southampton etc) is going to be...

Small thanks to Manning for bringing in the likes of Harris, RR etc, just as thanks of sorts are due to Robinson for Moore, Brown, Murphy etc, but don’t kid yourself, this promotion is down to the brilliance and guidance of Des Buckingham. Of course it’s over 46 games and every point goes...

Not sure about ever but he definitely goes under the radar. Had a brilliant season and, just like the rest, a phenomenal last 10-12 games.

After yesterday, we should be well and truly over every single ex manager and every single ex player. Who cares, we have reached the promised land under an Oxford lad, an Oxford fan and now an Oxford manager. It doesn’t get much better or much more perfect, yes it’s always nice to put one over...

Crawley keeper might be worth a look. Bit eccentric but decent keeper.

Ah, the downing tools saga, had forgotten about that, seems a lifetime ago now!

Absolutely! I didn’t notice that in real time but the touch, control and pass - wow!
