The only reason I can see why Oxford announced this via a Club Statement was to get other clubs interested. What do you think?
I wouldn't dream to tell a fan base that a bid for a crowd favourite has been accepted from your fiercest rival if said player had no interest.
Thoughts?
It's put them in a weak position. Counstable can't be happy with all the abused he got via Twitter. He might as well wear a 'For Sale' sign when he plays now. |

As someone else said, why did Oxford hang him out to dry by announcing publicly that they had accepted the bid before the deal was done?
Exactly. What did you hear coming out from Swindon from the OS whilst this was going on...Sod all. |

I don't think knobheads on Twitter would change him mindset. My issue would be the press release. |

Cant see him staying now anyway. Especially after the abuse he got.
I wouldn't be surprised to see other clubs coming in for him, now they know that they will accept offers for him.

If we are willing to spend 150-250k on a striker, then surely we can get better than Constable?

That was always my thoughts but hell we had a great ride and so fucking upset the inbreds up the A420 for an afternoon, this really is what football is about, love it. He may have been a good signing he may not, we wont know now and frankly I dont care, he sounds like some of his bridges may have been burnt along the way, of course Pox fans wont see it that way, even though they were thinking that 12 hours ago! There must be better players out there for cheaper or equivalent. |

Everyone keeps saying there must be better. But realistically who?

He's in a bracket of proven strikers at this level. There are probably more Austin-like gems out there for a pittance, but for every one of those there are fifty flops. We got very lucky. Jamille Matt's been mentioned. He could go on to be anything from a Premier League striker to a Blue Sq South reserve.
