Roofe has scored a few crackers for Oxford and has been a great addition for them, but there's a vast difference in quality between the Premier League and League 2.
I'm assuming the management deemed Roofe wasn't ever going to make it as a Premier League footballer and that's why he was moved on. As an established Premier League side, there's no point in keeping players who aren't deemed good enough for this level - but of course, that doesn't mean they can't be star players in League 2, League 1 or even the Championship.
Nice to see a local lad doing well, but he's got to do it at a much higher level than League 2 before there's any regrets about letting him go.
