Adver News: O'Kane is on Town's radar

[Costanza]

By that logic though, this squad could also survive the premiership.

We'll never know (for Oxford/rival fans reading this, I don't think we're worthy of Premier League) but you could easily argue that Norwich and Swansea have 3rd tier players in the Premier League and it's not done them any harm has it?

The guys point was hardly ridiculous and there was no need to shoot him down.

[Trashbat?]

We also lost to some League 2 teams this season, does that mean we are not good enough for league 2?

We lost to Macclesfield so that must mean we are Conference material at best

Exactly

[Samdy Gray]

I can't stand all this we beat Wigan, Wigan beat Man Utd, Man Utd beat Chelsea, Chelsea beat Barcelona so we're the best team in the world bollocks.

It is a ludicrous logic though.

And I was in no way suggesting we are worthy of the premiership, I was in no way being serious. To suggest we could hack it in the premiership with this squad IS ludicrous, which is largely my point.

It's like the whole 'we beat wigan, wigan beat liverpool....... Chelsea beat Barca so' we're the best team in the world thing. Utter nonsense * edit samdy beat me to that bit

[DMR]

Chesterfield are fucking useless, we just gassed it on the day, anyone who perceives them to be the L1 standard we need to aspire to is a clueless spastic.

[Costanza]

I walked out of the Port Vale game and came out thinking that we needed to strengthen in places and we blitzed them 5-0.

LittleRed walked out of Wembley, against a struggling L1 team, thinking that Swindon needed to strengthen.

I don't think many fans left London that day disagreeing with that.

[Flashheart]

I think some are deliberately missing the point.

Fuck it. I think we'll storm L1. After all we did hammer 'Udders 4-1

[STFC4LIFE]

I think we are a Jonathan Douglas and Charlie Austin away from competing for the automatic spotts next season.
The squad we have would survive, but in my opinion wouldn't be enough to compete at the top end of the league.
Everyone agrees we need to strengthen, and I would say the key areas are a holding centre midfielder and another goalscorer to play alongside Benson.

O'Kane would be a good addition for us if we could get him, seen him a few times this season.

In both games against Plymouth he tore them a new one. Scored 2 fantastic goals at Torquay and at the game in Plymouth created both of their goals. Looked very impressive

[juddie]

O'Kane was superb against us. Twice. Even when we beat them at our place he really impressed me. Bit small though, so him and Ferry would be a small pairing.

[Coca Fola]

We need a new CB to cover our current 3, a versatile midfielder who can play anywhere in midfield and another striker. That's all (providing we keep hold of everyone else).

[Arriba]

I'm guessing the players out of contract will learn their fates this week? Then the guessing can get more interesting

We are at the first (and shorter) dull part of pre-season.

DULL ----> Retained Lists ----> MEGA MEGA DULL ----> Transfer Window opens

Di Canio has stated that he's talking with Wray later this week so I think the absolute earliest that we'll hear anything will be Friday.

Quite - it's not conkers.
