The problem is 99% of songs get started by back of the south stand and they ripple down. So unless they start it, I am afraid it doesn't seem to catch on.

Joe Ward and Josh Vickers may be two of them.

Our transfer window has got off to a great start with Joe Ward. Had a good season with the Posh in area we badly needed bolstering. At an ideal age too.

Thought I'd share this, only an opinion piece/suggestion from FLW, Mendes-Gomes who was on loan from Luton at Fleetwood last year possibly available. Scored against us in a game that we've probably all tried to blank from our memories. Not sure where he'd fit if we were going with wingbacks next year but seems a good player 

I think it all depends if Warne is going for a 352 or a 343 with two inside forwards or number 10's. If it's the latter he could be ideal.

Last season they where absolutely shocking on the whole. Almost if it was Sunday league football.

So who are the main right backs that have been mentioned? From the press Clare, Dabo & Fisher? From fans Key, Ward & Wilson?

Wonder if it's any of them or someone completely new whose name hasn't even cropped up yet

It will be most likely be one of the above, just I have no idea which one.

When do we think we might find out when some of these five players are? Next week?

If he did stay he would be a beast in league one and add the physicality we need in the middle of the park.

We will still probably sell more season tickets than anyone else in the league regardless of the current number of sales.

20-22 contracted first team squad players is absolutely fine providing its bolstered by 5 loan players. You want to be able to rotate a few of your loan spots in the season, to add to any problematic areas. The ideal for me would be two season long loans which would be an investment, with three short term loans that can be addressed in January. 

Burton Albion used 41 players last season, most teams use more than 30 plus players at this level. What we can’t do is try to be smart but ultimately leave ourselves short and unable to fill gaps. 

I agree. Having 20 first time players contacted to us is smart if we can also get 5 loans in (giving us a playing sqaud of 25). Having a playing sqaud/pool of 20 players would be a disaster.

Wesley Sneijder coming out of retirement?

I think dobbin might be one of them.

On loan again?

Warne says a few mins in that he can’t say who but we are close to announcing a few signings

🤞🤞

I feel announcing a couple will put people's anxieties to ease that we are in the market and meaning business.

I don't think Rooney is going anywhere until we have some reinforcements

Dammit - beat me to it!

I can’t believe we still haven’t signed anyone … time to ask for a refund on my season ticket! 

I'd expect we would have a squad of 22 by 22 minutes past midnight. Disappointing...

And it's open !!! 

Have we signed anyone yet?

Checking in for duty....

The Oxford Twitter account is teasing his arrival. We’re going to have to trust/hope that Warne and the club have other targets in mind then wait to see how that plays out 

Looks like all out targets are on the move.

Just because he's about to turn 30?

He may not repeat the scoring feats of the last two seasons at his next club, but to state that he's on a downward trajectory when he's just had the 2 best seasons of his career and has earned himself a move to a bigger club...?

Players develop at different rates.

Steve Howard was 30 when we signed him for £1m, didn't do too badly!

Sheff Utd bought Billy Sharpe when he was 6 months off 30.

Well said. I think people also have unrealistic expectations on how will be able to sign and the league we are in. Alie May is the definition of a proven goal scorer in the peak of his career.

Sad that most of the chat currently is who our second choice gk will be.

Are talks still under way with Loach do we know?

I've just seen the fee agreed with Charlton is likely to be as low as £200k! 

200k for a proven goal scorer in his prime sounds quite reasonable to me.
