Shame that things didn't work out for him here. Another one to add to the list of those who promised much but for various reasons didn't go on to make it with Town. He had a great start to his post-Town days at Orient, and I'm sure he'll be a success at whatever his level ends up being. For Orient fans to love him so much at his relatively young age, bossing that position and showing leadership means he's got something.
I think he's another one for whom we've just progressed too quickly. If we hadn't made it out of League One immediately under Kieran, he could have been a fixture in that midfield and then kicked on in the Championship.
A nice problem to have I guess, and Kieran is capable of real difficult, hard-nosed decisions. Sentimentality has its time and place, but for Kieran that time and place is the two hours after we've been promoted!
I wonder what the fee will end up being. I suppose given his age, he didn't want to be loaned out forever, and as he wasn't gonna play in the Prem, we would have to let him go. Being a desperate seller is not going to help the price, but I'm sure having plenty of Champ/League One suitors will have pushed it up a bit.
Loving the look of that Oxford side! (not their kit, mind...) |  | | |  |

We've only got a year having taken his option, so likely £350-400k?
One I hope we've included a sell on clause in the deal with him being only 23.
Oxford have got a good player, he definitely has the ability to shine in the right team at champ level. |  | | |

£350,000 was what I heard we were after. |  | | |

Oxford are getting a lot of good business done early. |  | | |

Agreed. The club have progressed more quickly than he has and so is surplus to requirements.
They'll be a few more going i'm sure! | | | |

Its a move that looks right for all parties. Oxford are getting a young player who they will know a bit about having seen him in L1 last season, with plenty of upside potential and at a fair price. He's likely to get a fair crack of game time in the 2nd tier, that's a great opportunity to prove himself at that level. And we're recouping a fee for a player who is surplus here.
Win win really. Hope he does well. |  | | |

As soon as went up from L1 it was clear we would grow faster than he would.
Hope he does well at Oxford though and tees up Edwards for the winner against scum |  |
