I have no memory at all of Danny Ireland either

Always highly rated, seemed to pick up injuries whenever his chance came, and it turned out he wasn't that great anyway. Michael Quirke I remember doing pretty well on debut, but obviously wasn't up to much as never got another league club, and seems to play centre back now!

I liked Marshall, couldn't quite understand how Konstantopolous had such a resurgence later in his career, I didn't think he was great. I have no memory at all of Danny Ireland either

Youth keeper, wasn’t he? Think he was an Aussie.

 

[Frostie]

What about his last years number 2 shirt still being available ?

No relevance, one of the new signings will probably take it.

That could be Ostigard then

There was also Michael Quirke who came on for Iain Turner in one game

 

[Deity]

Rose is a good player who wasn't fully fit last season

He was poor last season but an inform and fit Rose would be like a new signing

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Last seen playing CB for Coventry United.

 

[Cobi Jones's Dreads]

Who now plays centre back for Cov United haha.

 

[SkyblueDad]

We are not signing Ostigard again

Again ? We’ve never signed him he was a loan.

 

[Tommo1993]

Psst, magic 8-ball. Will Leo be coming back?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

No Danny Ireland, signed as he was tall

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

May as well give Danny Sturridge a whirl at this point

He's training with Mallorca.

Done one session with the team apparently and wants to go back to the UK for a haircut but can't because the Balearic Islands are on the amber list.

Shows how silly it is to say that keepers can win you 10/15 points on their own. There's almost no correlation between the quality of keepers and our final league position at Championship level.

That doesn’t make any sense. A keeper can earn or cost you points and the rest of the team pull them back/throw them away.

It’s a bit like saying Maddison and Wilson must have been shit because we finished higher without them.

It’s an 11 a side game for a reason.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I remember Jamie Jones. I thought he was alright

Sure, but you can splash out on the best keeper in the league and it won't make a difference if the rest of the team is crap. Keiren Westwood never finished higher than 17th with us. Even Ben Wilson did better than that, because his supporting cast (and manager) were better. That's where we should be investing.

 

[Tommo1993]

Chima signed for Queen of the South.

Ffs SISU

Getting beaten to signings by Game of Thrones characters now. SISU OUT

 

[Gaz71]

From Twitter, Dave Boddy is saying we are getting a Chelsea player in tomorrow.

 

[Tommo1993]

Attracted interest from Benfica and Braga, had trials with us and Newcastle, end up in Scottish Championship. What a game.

Is that our new centre back?

 

[SBT]

You really think our current owners will answer that question the way you want them to?

 

[shmmeee]

Is that our new centre back?

No that’s Dave Boddy

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

I don’t think he even went on trial with Newcastle or the other clubs, made up by his agent

 

[Tommo1993]

I’ve chosen not to trust that tweet. Based on him wearing shorts and white socks, and those trainers. I think that’s why big Dave really kept his distance.

There's a comfortable looking subject.

He looks very pleased someone has asked for a photo!

WTF! Why is Boddy holding a gun?
