Not sure they seem relectant to accept. Can only see him coming here if he hands in a transfer request.

Well I'm sure "permission to speak to Swindon" is the code for "transfer request" ?

Flip me, not sure how I feel about this, a transfer direct from them seems almost wrong.

Not sure anymore.

He retweeted on Twitter the BBC Oxford story about him not going to another league 2 club.

Very sensible of him. If he is interested in coming to Swindon and a deal falls through he can always say he was never interested in moving anyway. Imagine the abuse he'd get if he admitted he wanted to come to Swindon.........and then imagine the abuse he'd get if it fell through and he had to stay at Oxford.

Anything players say when there is transfer speculation about them I take with a pinch of salt.
