doddisalegend Posted 14 March, 2012 Posted 14 March, 2012 looks like lee has traded up clubs and gone to Oxfords arch rivals:lol: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17364614
the saint in winchester Posted 14 March, 2012 Posted 14 March, 2012 He can see Swindon will get promoted this season, whereas Oxford are only vying for a playoff place. Can't blame him, I suppose.
once_bitterne Posted 14 March, 2012 Posted 14 March, 2012 He can see Swindon will get promoted this season, whereas Oxford are only vying for a playoff place. Can't blame him, I suppose. Swindon are pretty much promoted already tho so they have no need for him at all. Also their best player is their left winger Rooney so he won't be starting for them. Maybe they have just loaned him for the JPT final as Rooney is cup tied for that.
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 14 March, 2012 Posted 14 March, 2012 Poor sod. Swindon is a total sh*t-hole.
buctootim Posted 14 March, 2012 Posted 14 March, 2012 Poor sod. Swindon is a total sh*t-hole. ****hole surrounded by some nice places though.
North Wilts Saint Posted 14 March, 2012 Posted 14 March, 2012 He mullered them in Carling Cup game for Saints and for Oxford (setting up both goals) and could see him going there permanently next year when they are in League 1. BTW - live 8 miles from Swindon now, don't jump on the comedians bandwagon and just deride the place.
Window Cleaner Posted 14 March, 2012 Posted 14 March, 2012 Interesting to see that we seem to be making sides pay for loans from us.
EBS1980 Posted 14 March, 2012 Posted 14 March, 2012 I guess Swindon were prepared to pay more of his wages compared to Oxford.

Oxford is an even bigger ****-hole than Swindon though.
Ampersound Posted 14 March, 2012 Posted 14 March, 2012 He's looking for back to back promotion medals then.. Good on him

In fairness, to anyone that doesn't live somewhere, everywhere's a sh1thole, bar perhaps South Kensington (and of course, Reading).
Mr_Red Posted 14 March, 2012 Posted 14 March, 2012 Interesting to see that we seem to be making sides pay for loans from us. Think that's normal tbh, unless you're from Portsmouth of course...

david in sweden Posted 14 March, 2012 Posted 14 March, 2012 I guess Swindon were prepared to pay more of his wages compared to Oxford. saw a quote from the Oxford manager (crying in his beer). Lee's one month loan was up - they hadn't the funds to keep him and Swindon stepped in.
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 14 March, 2012 Posted 14 March, 2012 Holmes played on loan at Swindon ages ago from Derby before he started getting injured, expect his got good memories.
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 14 March, 2012 Posted 14 March, 2012 Swindon are pretty much promoted already tho so they have no need for him at all. Also their best player is their left winger Rooney so he won't be starting for them. Maybe they have just loaned him for the JPT final as Rooney is cup tied for that. No Ritchie has been their best player this season and he plays on the right. Di Canio has brought in and discarded quite a few players so far this season so won't be afraid to stick Holmes in and keep him there if he impresses.
doddisalegend Posted 16 March, 2012 Author Posted 16 March, 2012 Looks like Lee has realised he is not in SFC future plans and is laying the ground work for a move to Swindon http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17387011
once_bitterne Posted 16 March, 2012 Posted 16 March, 2012 Interesting to see that we seem to be making sides pay for loans from us. I think any club will only pay most of the wages of a player who is loaned to another club if it is a youngster who they are shipping out to gain experience but view as a future first team players. For situations like Holmes where the player is blatently surplus to requirments and it is a loan with a view to a permanent move then it would be expected that the club he is being loaned to would pick up the wages.
Verbal Posted 16 March, 2012 Posted 16 March, 2012 I'm from Oxford and can confirm Swindon is definatelty a ****hole If you're from Oxford, anywhere is a ****hole.
musesaint Posted 17 March, 2012 Posted 17 March, 2012 Going to the JPT at Wembley with a Swindon mate next week ..... hope he plays and scores ... !
Dr Who? Posted 17 March, 2012 Posted 17 March, 2012 Great experience for him, in a team playing with confidence. Is a ****e hole though compared to Oxford!
