Thought I'd start a thread for anyone who's got any reliable rumours on comings or goings at Grenoble Road.
I, for my part, have nothing to put into the mix. Although I always think back on deadline day to an old Oxford Mail seller on Cornmarket who, whenever he saw someone walk past in a Yellows shirt, would shout "Ronaldo signs for Oxford! Read all about it!". Every time I had to double-take before realising it was a wind-up.

I've just been texted that Adam Chapman is released from jail on Friday and will rejoin the squad, can't find it on the internet but if it's true I think it's our best signing of the day easily! Although I do expect a striker to be signed...

Hardly a new signing though. 0/10

Now you're talking. Any grounds for this, or is it to be filed with "Les Ferdinand's helicopter has just landed in the KasStad centre cicle..."

Chapman has been on day release for a while and will rejoin the squad next week.

I don't know of any specific rumours, I just expect him to sign one, or resign Guy.

Potter to an un-named League 1 side.
Constable to Notts Co
Kinni back to Oxford
Tonkin to un-named League 2 side
Paul Benson to Oxford
All likely to be rubbish rumours.

No, it's got weaker. One of the rumour starters now says it's off.

From BBC website
1639: Into League One now. Bournemouth chairman Eddie Mitchell has told BBC Radio Solent that it is now "unlikely" there will be any movement in or out at Dean Court. Millwall had made a bid for Liam Feeney, while the Cherries were hoping to sign a striker but both moves have broken down.
Good news?

Sell on clause caused the collapse. But again that is coming from the sauce.

Good news if true - we should be insisting on sell-on clauses and all sorts of other add-ons for a player of Beano's ability and potential.
