We could do with an experienced defender but if it's a choice between trudging along trying to scrape together the pennies for Gibson or what I would suspect would be a significantly cheaper option with Oxford, I'd prefer the latter right now. Augsburg signed him last summer on a 4 year contract. Link to post Share on other sites
TAPOUT 361 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Oxford certainly seemed hyped up when with West Ham. I would however like us to source a left footed CB. Not only would it give balance but I think Fry will be a lot more comfortable on the right. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Fits the bill of the players we supposedly are wanting to sign. He’s young, has potential, versatile and athletic. Could be suited in a back 3. If the price is right it’s a big yes from me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ayresome7 187 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I remember his debut away at Arsenal when he was 16 and he was one of the best players on the pitch. I dont think the changing of managers over the last 5 years at West Ham helped him, he was tipped for the very top. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Modern balls are far better at repelling water.The old balls would soak it up more. Anyone that headed a ball in the 70s or even a 1980s Mitre Delta will tell you the difference from a modern ball.

Yeah that one shifted about, the jubalana went completely over the top, it was like when you volley a penny floater. Link to post Share on other sites

I've loved George for us but his best days are well behind him and he's had a lot of injuries. The story doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I was told that he has had chronic back issues for 2 years, that he has been 'managing'. I would think it is more likely that he will retire than move. Link to post Share on other sites

chickenlunch 315 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 it'd be incredible if Stoke sign George Friend tbh Link to post Share on other sites
BoroJake 2,331 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 That George friend article is a glitch on the website I think. I’m pretty sure that article is from November and it has accidentally been reposted 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Woodgate said he thinks he'll get a 'few more in' suggests 2-3 personally I want people who'll be here past May since the season now is a write off I saw Oxford to Venlo was going to be an option to buy in the summer for 2.5 million euros if that one comes through hopefully we'll have the option. Freeman, Jones and Oxford would do us nicely all 3 we could feasibly sign permanently in the summer and not break the bank if they perform well. Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,440 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Mark Drury asked Woodgate about Ben Gibson. Drury said obviously Ben has been seen in and around the place (referring to Rockcliffe i assume) and if that is someone he would like. Woodgate said he the chairman's nephew so he can visit whenever he likes. When he was pushed if he woild want Gibson back he said "lets see what happens". Link to post Share on other sites
