Good age for a keeper, experienced at top level, taller than Raya...………..and free. Sounds like he's worth a punt (leaving extra to spend on a bully of a Centre Half)

Adrian?

Car pool with Austin?

Interesting...………*twirls moustache*

He probably will...………..now.

Ouch!?

I'm a bit shocked that K-Hod hasn't stepped in to sort out this little circle jerk of mutual misery. (well, when I say shocked...……….)

I lost belief in TM during that horrible run last season (not enough to join in with the ridiculous whinging though) If he doesn't sign a keeper and big, nasty, preferably experienced Centre Back that would be sackable for me.

The thought of signing anyone, permanently or on loan, from that club gives me the absolute creeps.

Bradley Dack is...…….so is Danny Graham.

Didn't they have a scout called Hickson or similar who went to work for Southampton and got Shearer down there?

How would you explain Shearer starting his career at Southampton? or Bryan Robson at West Brom? Bobby Charlton at Man Utd? Carrick at West Ham? Beardsley at Carlisle?

The standard of the A League is pretty poor. If he's serious about his career he'll shelve any down under plans for a few years.

Carson or Ruddy please. Can't bare having a Dingle cast off.

Travis is a good un but I don't see how the club could knock back anything north of 10m.

I'd be pretty pissed off too. What if it was daft money from the Prem though? (Not the Dingles, that cannot happen)

Mowbray says that Adam contacted him and asked to train with the squad so it doesn't seem like a trial. I agree with your assessment of him as a player but I don't think he's what we need and I doubt there's much in his legs at our level anyway.

Hope you're right (about the money if not Gallagher) I'm not sure about him but you can see how this will be spun if he joins Wigan. This place will be more toxic than Chernobyl.

Do you reckon? I'm agnostic about the Bauer thing but if Gallagher chose Wigwam over us that would seriously damage my moral!

He'll be relatively fresh then. I'm not overly excited as I thought he was ok whilst with us (albeit I only saw him live a couple of times). He wouldn't justify the wages for me and there were rumours of him being a wrong un as well (offered a Rovers fan out at Bolton by some accounts) Keep searching I reckon.

Says the bloke who sulks over 'likes'?

Nailed it. But who needs nuance when you can have hyperbole?

Got to agree on Adam. He was never the most athletic and there have been a number of intervening years since his peak. Even without that he would seem superfluous to our requirements. Whilst accepting that Adam is a talented footballer I'd be concerned if we're hanging our hat on him. No sign of that just yet but I'm not keen on him padding out the squad and eating into the wage bill.

I see that Raya is on the way to saint status and a hybrid of Joan of Arc and Gordon Banks. I'm shocked.

The forum is a much better read with that doofus on ignore (and unquoted thank you very much!?)
