The question now is if Stef will stay with the Alex. Stefan has said he would love to stay, even if it meant a pay cut, but Dario has admitted he's looking for a left back rather than a left midfield player. HOWEVER. Dario has said he will sit down with Oakes and fellow loanee Paul Tierney to discuss long term contracts and with Oakes being able to play anywhere along the middle Dario may see him fit to bolster the strength of the midfield for division one. Especially if Sorvel leaves.
There will no doubt be a announcement about Oakes' and Tierney's future in the coming 7 days.
