room0035 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I hear Bettinelli is a free agent after leaving fulham, would be a great signing with no fee attached.

Mike Hunt Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 2 hours ago, room0035 said: Realistically this season is a stay in the division, avoid the scrap at the bottom, if we push for the top half with the players we currently have it will have been a good season. Β If we are realistically wanting to be anywhere near the league one play offs, we need two goal scoring strikers, a decent keeper, some legs in midfield that can also offer a goal threat and some creativity on the wings. The lad from QPR had a good season in a very attack minded Oxford team we will wait and see how he does with us. We also need to find a few gems in the youngster to step up and play 20+ games and contribute either goals or helping to keep clean sheets.Β Β And pray we do not pick up too many injuries but with a strongest 11 that includes Iorfa, Hutch, Dunkley and Luongo that is unlikely.
