Where did the original Baker link even come from? Was it the telegraph?

I think Baker may have been one of those players that thought he could get more on the open market and when he realised everything is a bit tighter this year took Bristol’s low Ish offer so he didn’t have to bother moving.

You think there is a chance Walton might be one of the keepers we are might sign @better days ? Or did we get priced out?

Really don't know
Others have mentioned Moore, who I suspect is one of the two

Hopefully an indicator of where the market is moving. Players will want to start getting paid again come 1st July and get in with clubs for pre-season.

why did we offer Wilson a contract if our plan was to sign 2 keepers? Seems a bit scrambled to me

PFA cover wages for another month if they’re still out of contract I believe.

I think Wilson is rated by the management but they want competition for him

3 keepers though? Fair enough having 3 if one of them is a kid, but adding another 2 seems odd.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Where’s the 2 keepers talk come from?

 

[higgs]

Can understand one keeper coming in as first choice and Wilson as number two but can't see the point of us spunking some of our budget on another 2 keepers

We’ve tied up Wilson as our most valuable asset. Get £3m from him from Man U

The only thing I can think of is Bilson going out on a season long loan, so need an extra one for between the sticks at under 23 level???

Been quite a lot of debate about it here and I heard a similar whisper

 

[procdoc]

Regarding Sarkic, my Villa supporting pal says he was highly thought of at Villa but had too many keepers ahead of him. He reckons he’ll be a good signing if we do end up getting him in

Seems a bit odd given he's been here two years and only given a chance due to injury. He did alright when he came in but don't see what they see in a keeper his age. Looked a bit ropey at times and hardly instilled confidence.

Also don't see why we'd bring in two new if he's here and they rate him.

It is a little surprising but no doubt we will see what the plan is soon enough

Is he under 23 now?? I thought he was under 18?? Admittedly I don’t follow the youth teams that closely to actually know this

 

[Greggs]

2 keepers in goal simultaneously?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Yes, he is 19

Was U23 last season too.

Last season under 18's were Fallows (now released) and Bell

 

[Northeast sky blue]

I can't see the point in bringing in 2 keepers especially if the budget is as tight as said

Nearly just posted this. The print headline reads far more positively than the one online.

I know. CT have been cutting up their interview with Robins so much it’s ridiculous.

 

[Kieranp96]

Have you read this thread?

No , I am on here like twice a month.

Wouldn’t expect Mark Robins to be anything other than cautious in any statement or comment on our on going recruitment, he never has been different and hardly likely to be different time.

I did hear and this has apparently come from inside the club our interest in Matty Jame became luke warm from an early stage big reason being we could get two decent quality players in for what the James camp were after. I reckon his agent kept our apparent interest going to help the Bristol negotiations..

That makes sense as midfield is an area where we are covered ,more so with the years experience behind them now and more importantly get some back up to cover walker and godden.

Covered in what way ? James gone, Shipley, Allen, et al not good enough. We are not covered if your measure is quality.

Hamer, Eccles, Kelly and Sheaf for two positions.

We’re better covered there than anywhere else on the pitch

We need a box to box

We may have options but the jury is still out on 3 of them.

Name a position with better cover

I did say we have options there, just probably 1 is upto the championship.

Which one of Kelly or Hamer isn't up to the Championship?

 

[mr_monkey]

Is that why we got relegated?
