THE scale of transfer activity at Oxford United last summer was never likely to be repeated this time round, and it’s important to bear that in mind during the current window.

United signed 17 players last summer, including the addition of Kyle Edwards, who joined as a free agent on a short-term deal after the window closed.

But the circumstances were vastly different, as the U’s embarked on their first season back in the second tier of English football for 25 years.

A freshening up was needed, to bring in Sky Bet Championship experience and players with potential for massive growth.
