So let’s see how he performs at Oxford.

There’s obviously a reason he wasn’t fancied at Stoke.
Maybe it’s manager intransigence but you would think a team dropping out of playoff consideration like a stone would consider impactful personnel changes.
If he does a great job at Oxford, keeps them up and/or they find a buyer then good luck to all of them. I really like Donley — smart footballer but maybe lacking the athleticism to be a Prem starter.

I do wonder if there’s anything we can do to prevent a quick turnaround other than a pejorative sell-on clause.

... and there it is. He is 20, turns 21 tomorrow, but the way to measure him is if he can keep the worst team in the Championship up single handed.

That’s right. Jamie doesn’t get around the pitch enough for a prem lge midfielder. It’s always been the case. He might be best employed deep when he can spray the ball about. Many years ago he woukd have had no,problem but now teams are full of 6 foot plus 400 metre runners. Hope he does well at Oxford.
