Interesting article in which it appears that Karl Robinson has given Sean Clare an ultimatum regarding his future with Oxford Utd. Sounds like they would be prepared to sell him if he doesn’t want to stay. They paid about £100,000 for him last summer from Hearts. So reading between the lines is Clare angling for a move to Burton and if so can we afford to pay a fee for him? He would be a great permanent signing bearing in mind how instrumental he was in keeping us in League 1. I’m sure that Jimmy and Dino would love to have him back. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/19367382.karl-robinson-urges-sean-clare-prove-midfield-role/

Reading between the lines and looking at the Oxford fan opinion, I don't think he's in their future plans.
Offer them a small fee, say £30k up top with a few future incentives (sell on fee, bonus for if we go up etc) and go from there, I'm sure a deal can be made. I'd feel a lot more confident about our midfield if he's a part of it next season as it's looking short of any physicality.

I knew Louis had signed but had to keep quiet about it for some time as I could not betray my confident who works for Stoke City. Very pleased to see it announced at last. We have signed a good goalscoer

He's a great player, but I'm not too sure why the Mansfield fans have the impression that he's a forward/striker? Moult signing doesn't affect Lucas. Even with us signing a few wingers, he's arguably still going to be first choice. He's a hard working winger, who on rare occasions has played up top if we've had a striker crisis, or at right back.
I'm not saying he won't go anywhere but it would have to be quite a decent sized fee for a 32 year old.
His strengths:
Fitness levels Workrate, always worked his nuts off, probably with age his late game levels aren't what they were but he's still up there. Goal-threat, always has a goal in him, and fairly reliable on penalties. Versatility, can cover a number of positions, but by far strongest on the wing Plus he's pretty strong at holding the ball up out wide
Weaknesses:
Footwork at times can be a little clumsy Might have lost a little pace in the last 18 months, but was never particularly fast

We were linked with him three or four weeks ago , don't see the point unless one of ours is going elsewhere . I dare say there is a lot of things going on in the background and news will come out in the following weeks .

Agreed, not a chance in the world would we have Garratt, O'Hara and Bazunu fighting for the shirt.
Suspect O'Hara will be off somewhere, given Garratt has only just signed a new contract.

Nice to see you registering on the Stags forum Fred. Strange choice for your username though... Mr Bromclough. Erm I wonder. All to have a pop at Trevor and to say Lucas isn't and hardly ever has been a striker. Not for the first or last time I strongly disagree with you. Signing Hawkins maybe means Mansfield interest in Lucas is ended for now. Personally I hope not. It's fans like you who make it really difficult for me to keep loving Burton and wanting the best for them. Looking forward to playing you the season after next. Hopefully both as League One clubs.

Tom O'Connor signed from Southampton. Another left-back! Just come off a decent loan spell at Gillingham (Steve Evans apparently wanted him back... which is slightly amusing ). Maybe this means we could be seeing CB-J at centre-half? Only guessing as he's the tallest of the three. Welcome to the club Tom!

Reading the club press release Jimmy sees O’Connor playing predominantly in midfield

Not a lot of talk at the moment
Fully expect O Hara and Gilligan to be loaned out and possibly even parker.
A lot of talk about Rhys Bennett on twitter being a potential good signing for CB
Will be intrigued if we use Chelsea connections for any loans too!

Interesting article on the official website. Jimmy stating that business is not done yet and there will be some that will be coming and some that will be going.
I guess we all have our thoughts on this. Fully agree with StrettonBrewer that i think O'Hara,Gilligan and possibly Parker will go, wether that is on loan or permanently remains to be seen. I wonder if Tom Hewlett may also get a loan move. As for any players coming in then who knows. Jimmy and Dino still think they still need to strengthen. Reading what Jimmy has said it would seem to lean towards permanent signings rather than loans. But I'm not sure maybe its just how I have read it. It will be exciting to see what happens in this regard adding to what i already think is a strong squad. In another article Jimmy states that there are some big hitters in this division but that they are in the same division as we are. They are in this divisiion for a reason. Love that approach.

Yes i saw that too but nothing official yet. Rhys Bennett who was on trial with us after not taking up a contract offer at Carlisle has signed for Gillingham.
