Patterson said: "We have moved on. They are apparently still in the frame, but I needed a decision this week and they weren't able to give it, so I'm moving on to other players.
"If it happens that they are still available and I can't get these other players, we may go back to them."
He added: "They are just basically hanging on, but every manager I talk to says that's the case with so many players who are hanging out for League football and more dough."
The U's have got four triallists with them at present - Liam Kelly, Reuben Reid, Rob Davis and Rhys Meynell, and two or three more, including at least one goalkeeper, are expected to join them when the squad goes to HMS Collingwood at Portsmouth on Sunday.
Patterson said: "I'll be going backwards and forwards between Oxford and there because I've got meetings with players on Monday."
UNITED'S partnership with Oxford-based ts.com, who provide them with online ticketing - which is proving ever-more popular with U's fans - has been extended for another year.

This is what we wont a manager who takes no Sh!t off anyone why should he resign? Come the start of the season we will have a good side no doubt about it so lay off Patto ffs.

This 'transfer' story has become a farce, i ask myself - does patto have the financial backing from the Board to bring in the best players possible, or is patto making the 'right noises' to appease his bosses? I'm thinking they want patto to string out and keep the interest up over transfers for as long as possible, why? Good question, perhaps there's NO money in the pot and they are desperately trying to bring in money from season ticket sales while knowing it's going to be another season of struggle and v poor football??

how many clubs have actually signed and sold players so far? hardly any one. it's the same old few that are buying players. look at stoke, not bought in anyone yet and they want to stay in the premiership. leeds haven't made one signing and haven't sold one player yet since the last game of the season. just be patient. still just over a month to go until the season starts!we don't even know what the kit looks like we are going to be playing in! are we going to start moaning about that aswell!

You lots talk silly, don't you realise that we in non-league and how many players want to go to non-league. most players only have one interest in theirs heart... money of course (e.g. hutch & Jen. Have faith in Patto and I'm sure we get better players than you lots realise!!!

It seems to me that Patterson is starting to get pretty desperate as far as player signings go. Going to the Navy base with a handful of players today, only to come back to Oxford tomorrow to talk to other possible signings. Don't sound very professional to me, more like Pattersons plans are blowing up in his face.
ho ho ho

With comments like "Yes we are getting impatient with you Mr Patterson" and many others, I wonder how the parents of these people cope in the weeks prior to Christmas... and the weeks afterwards when these kids are still not satisfied.
When the coaching staff shape the existing squad into a winning team, Oxford will become an increasingly attractive prospect, so why fill the squad with "maybes" as some want?
It is also only still June! Why have people such limited lives that they worry about the players Oxford may or may not sign before August? And players can still be signed later...

Gosh Luke thanks for letting us know that.
Last week, when I spoke to Tom, he hadn't been for his trial.
So either Tom or Luke is a liar - and I know Tom isn't.

There has been at least 2 articles on this website in the past month with Darren saying we will have players in just give it till next week. Next week has never come.
Darren I was sick of the tosh you uttered after matches on many occasions and thought you may learn over the summer but you haven't. You now don't have the wage cap as an excuse for this season so what you gonna use now after every loss we have?
People say don't panic its only June lets face it alot of our players who have played together for a season or more look strangers when they step out onto the pitch so it is vitally important we give new players alot of time to gel.
Look what happend last season Jim put his holidays to Spain ahead of buying players last season and look at the overpaid dregs he ended up bringing in!
Look at teams like Rushden and Stevenage theyve got players in early and when they start back training they will start off as 1 unit and will probably not bring anymore in so they will gel better. Oxford on the other hand will have players in and out every week on trial that is not gonna help team bonding and gelling.
The whole point of us starting early I thought was because Darren will have that many new players in that he decided we would need more time to gel those players in.
Is it we have no money? Or that Darren cannot attract anyone? I would say its a mixture of both cos lets face it he is a nobody!
The headline to this story is "Patterson's losing his patience". Well Darren I'm losing my patience with you! Thanks Darren for another season in mid table.
