Winter Transfer Window - Cold and Lonely.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I'm not quite sure why we'd want him, why he'd want to come and why you would let him leave.

Can't see it tbh.

He might want to go somewhere else to see if he can develop more. Liverpool are in good form right now, can't see why he wouldn't want to go to you. Question is, could you use a fit Ox playing to his potential?

[Goonermerree]

Theo, Jack, Ramsey, Gibbs....many others. We haven't done a good. We've dedicated over a decade to youth development and have very little show for it.

I'd include Clichy in that, he seemed to be doing all right, then went right down and he is still playing for City under Pep.

Yeah, Clichy is another one. It's the same pattern, they start off bright for the first season or so and then pick up bad habits and it's downhill from there.


Even unpopular players like Denilson, Djourou and Senderos. All three looked amazing in their first seasons. Senderos filling in for an injured Sol Campbell helped us win the FA Cup and kept Sol out the 2005 final. He went downhill after that.

Denilson's debut season was totally different to the rest he played. He wasn't lazy when he first arrived and I recall him working hard and putting in strong challenges but that totally disappeared from his game. Wayne Rooney ghosting right through him as he jogs casually back to our box is something I won't forget. He was a disgrace.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Ha poor Senderos, he never got over the post traumatic stress of getting bummed by Didier Drogba in the 2005 community shield.

Some players work the opposite way, Hleb his best season was his last one with us, same with Nasri.

[AFC Leveller]

I think young players want to impress when they first join but then they see the culture isn't as demanding as they thought and they follow the same pattern of doing just enough while getting loadsa money.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Poor little Morgan Schneiderlin ...... you lot hailed him as the second coming on here....can't get a game or a club.

[Power n Glory]

Never thought he was a priority but we bought Xhaka.

[Thierrymon]

Only position I can see us strengthening would be left back.

[Xhaka Can’t]

The only position we need to strengthen is the Manager.
