    Not especially bothered about Ricky now, surprised though by how little Wilder has played him considering the effort he made to sign him, and the whining when he didn't get him last summer

    He was wanted to see what he could do at a higher level, and at the age of 30 you can’t blame him for doing that.

    I’d have him back in a heartbeat - I’d certainly have him over the likes of Kaikai and Mavididi.

    COULD FORMER PLAYER BE SET FOR SHOCK RETURN?

    What a shit "scoop". The article says nothing more than Holmes hasn't played much since his move. Nothing about wanting to come back, or that he is even unsettled or not liking his time up there.

    I might as well write a headline saying that Kermorgant is set to play for France in the World Cup because he scored today for Reading.

    utter shite.

    The year Bournemouth went up a few seasons ago I thought he might have had a shout TBF

    Pointless article. Just cause he’s not playing, he’s possibly coming back to us? Owned by RD?

    You are joking?

    Told you guys this would happen. As soon as it was made public he is available, Robinson would do all he can as he would be dribbling at the thought of it.

    They’ll now have Holmes and Carruthers, something he wanted for a long time at Charlton.

  • Oh do fuck off, how on earth can we not be in for him?!
  • Ffs. No expectations at all for this season!
    Not boycotting but just don’t want to go!

    Wouldnt be surprised if Sheffield United didnt want him coming here...

    We were (rightfully) a pain in the arse in their attempts to buy him last season in the first place

    Just reiterates how Robinson is a one trick pony!!... Holmes | Carruthers | Martin | Reeves | Lewington (who trained with us one stage) - Bloke only goes for players he's worked with before (i.e. admitted he'd sign Forster-Caskey if he could when he joined Oxford), next article he'll be telling anyone who'll listen that he was the reason that Dele Alli turned good
  • Match winner on his day. I’m sure he will score more goals than anyone in our team with I hope the exception of Taylor.

    Looks like Ricky is going in a new direction on and OFF the pitch

    He could probably score more than our team...

    Holmes to Oxford will be what Reeves was to us.

    But that's due to Robinson.
  • Makes it easier playing Oxford now. Their game plan will be all around him under Robinson so take him out and they are neutralised

    Or, this just confirms that Oxford will beat us twice this season...

    You'd have to pay me a lot to follow Karl Robinson from one club to another

    Playing against Oxford for us should be easy. Sit back and be compact, the defence will pass slowly side to side and then get the ball out to Holmes in the hope of doing something. Solly will be able to handle Holmes but it would be worth having Marshall on the right to support him. This crowds out Holmes and Oxford’s threat is neutralised. Hit them quick on the counter and win the game.

    Unless of course you’re someone that he absolutely adores and will put you on such a pedestal that you can’t do no wrong, like he will and has with Holmes.

    Have to say, that is a hell of a signing for a club like Oxford.

    As things stand, it would be a hell of a signing for us too.

    Holmes peaked with us - and that’s not saying much! Although we’re not going far or fast, we need to move on.

    Great signing for them and one we should’ve snapped up - he’d walk into our side with everyone fit, so definitely would now
