Reece Oxford

Will he feature tonight? Hasn't featured at all this season, even when ye like thin on the ground for his position. Anyone heard anything about him recently? We don't seem to be trying very hard to convince him to stay.

Re: Reece Oxford

I remember his MOTD interview after his debut against Arsenal. Very well spoken and seemingly intelligent lad with his feet firmly on the ground.
Fast forward a season and he's suddenly gone all Ravel Morrison.

Re: Reece Oxford

Fact is he was thrown in against arsenal because we were short and did exceptionally well, the next game/s he was found wanting..maybe hasn't improved since then and will get limited chances now unless we have a Centre mid/half injury crisis..

Re: Reece Oxford

When you're struggling it's hardly the time to drop youngsters into defence, so if we keep improving I think we might see him start the odd game.

Re: Reece Oxford

perhaps in reality he is not that good and it may be good business to get rid, for the money.

Re: Reece Oxford

We aren't' privacy to what has been said by all parties,but if I were a gambling man I would bet on him not being here next season and living in Manchester.There is no guarantee he is Rio 2.

I remember reports we were looking to move Tomkins at the close of last season, and if that were true, I have to believe it was aimed at placating Oxford to show our intent to play him and hopefully encourage him to sign a new contract. I'm just speculating, but if we kept 4 centre backs it doesn't leave much room for him, and the clock is ticking on Oxford's contract.

Clearly you think developing young players is a bit pointless. A quick glance at our history makes me think it's actually the whole point.

I think there is a strong possibility the lad if a bit of a cunt

but I could be wrong

Re: Reece Oxford

I get the feeling from reading comments and tweets by and about Oxford that it is his attitude that is holding him back rather than his ability.

Tomkins wanted regular first team football, Bilic said he couldn't guarantee that although he wanted him to stay, but James decided to leave for the guarantee of playing more often. Bilic gave ginge a new deal last season after he was doing very well, so obviously he was still in his first team plans. Had we not gone out of Europe then Burke may not have gone out on loan and both may have had more chances, But with less games available it was better for Burke to go on loan and play and after our poor start i guess it was hard for Bilci to put in a youngster like Oxford

Re: Reece Oxford

Still don't understand why we sold Tomkins if we weren't going to give oxford or Burke a chance at all when Collins is clearly in the twighlight of his career now.

How come Oxford was deemed 'ready' for arsenal away at the start of last season but not at all now?

All seems very odd

Frankly, regardless of his talent, if he's gonna be a dick or we're not going to use him, if rather we cash in on him so he can become the next rodwell at city and use the cash to move on

'My opinion is that the club needs to move away from pragmatists as managers and towards coaches who take a more holistic view on the squad. And an infrastructure that supports that approach.'

Yes, we should definitely shun managers who show the merest hint of pragmatism. As everyone knows, it is is the responsibility of the club to prepare chippy youngsters for multi-millionairedom elsewhere, not to win football matches.

Re: Reece Oxford

Willtell, wow, you just stated that you are a 70 year old rapist. But good for you for coming clean old chap. If, however it was meant as a question (which it obviously wasn't, otherwise there would have been a question mark), then I can't see anyone accusing you of being a rapist. Why do you feel the need to invent things like this? There are simply just people that think you are coming across a bit rapey due to your comments, comments which on another thread you admitted sound a bit rapey. Understand? Good.

I'm not sure what this playground warrior thing is though? We aren't in a playground for a start, we are on a message board. Did you mean internet warrior? If so I can't see anywhere when anyone has made threats of violence towards you, least of all me. You seem to be getting a bit confused and upset, perhaps it's your age? Maybe you have anger issues, after all you seem to be the one getting upset and shouting fuck you at people from all the way over in France? BTW if my old initials did stand for playground warrior then they would have been PGW, wouldn't they, you imbecilic, rapey, car-crash of a human being.

Oh, one last thing, considering you mentioned the other day that you felt a husband raping his wife to be far less serious an offence in comparison, coupled with the fact that you have admitted you would be tempted to rape an unconscious girl, alongside these anger issues you seem to be struggling with at the moment, perhaps Mrs Willtell should consider sleeping with one eye open.....

Night mate.

Re: Reece Oxford

Bilic would be starting him tonight if we hadn't had such a poor start to the season. Tonight is massive for bilic, win and we're on a great run, lose and it makes Everton a lot harder than it already is.

Fernandes only played because we were absolutely desperate, cresswell, Arthur or arbeloa would have all started instead of him. He came in and proved himself decent.

I like bilic but let's not pretend he's great at blooding youngsters, no manager is these days as they need to develop. Managers don't have a lot of time to develop players.

Re: Reece Oxford

So let's get WHO right. I'm a 70 year old rapist.

TrevorB is a playground warrior. Hardly surprising as his previous user name was PLW.

Animal gets excited the moment TrevorB mentions rape!

OK guys, you do realise this is a virtual world don't you...?

In the meantime if Reece Oxford is ready, Bilic would play him as demonstrated when he gave a debut start to Fernandes. Bilic will decide when - not Oxford's mum.

Re: Reece Oxford

He needs to sign his contract and get out on loan to a championship side for half a season. Get some proper games under his belt.

Re: Reece Oxford

Willtell you said that in your day girls that got drunk deserve what they got. Tha was in relation to rape. That's advocating rape against those that are too drunk to prevent it. You also said that your day was 50 years ago. So unless you advocated rape as a child then it's fair to believe you are around 70.

Still tempted to rape unconscious girls??
