Intresting, glad to see the lad doing well, maybe ill be able to say when he's playing at a big team one day, yeah I saw the guy play at Oxford city, scored some good goals as well! and you know boast abit, as we know grass roots football is where its at 
.
On a side note, excuse my ignorance but how does the transfer system work for lower amature/semi-pro/part time clubs, is it the same as normal transfers at bigger teams.?
Also if (or is when) a bigger club come comes knocking for a talented player like Fisher would oxford city or anyone else in or around our league expect to get a decent sum of money for him or is it a case that part-time clubs with talent players generally get quite a rough deal out of it, due to them not acturally having any power, financially or otherwise to keep players because they are a part-time/semi pro outfit.

: He told the Spurs website: "I'm here

: "The players are Curtley Williams, who

:
: "Last week he played against Under-20
: teams from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid,
: now he's playing against Jonathan Woodgate

:
: "It's so far, so good for the Academy.
: We've got seven or eight players back into
