Karl Robinson has claimed that "no player is bigger than the club" in a cryptic message, amid rumours linking Jermain Defoe to Oxford United...
CONVERSATIONS
“One or two things have fallen flat. I’ve had some great conversations this week with some really good people who want to be here for the right reasons, but there have been some conversations that have been the wrong reasons."
NO ONE BIGGER THAN THE CLUB
“There’s no one person that’s bigger than the club. There have been some players I’ve spoken to who are dead excited about coming here."
CHASING PLAYERS
“But should I be chasing people, should I be going backwards and forwards? Shove it where the sun don’t shine."
REFRESHING
“There have been two or three conversations this week where I thought ‘wow, I didn’t expect that’. That’s really exciting, really refreshing. You have these conversations and some people lift you to dream and some people drag you in the doldrums."
MEANS A LOT
“A player who skips on this pitch is far greater than one I have to drag on to it. If you want to cross that white line in a yellow shirt it’s got to mean something to you. It means an awful lot to me, my players and the fans.”
