Duracell Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I agree it’s prudent to keep other targets alive until this is done, but can’t get my head around the thinking of “that’s it, time to move on, there’s no point now” at the prospect of potentially having to wait a couple more games out of a season which is likely to be 50+ fixtures. If he is our number one target, it is because we have decided he is the most we can get for the budget we have available. If they’re that certain in their conviction then it’s absolutely right to not give up until it’s too late.

If he is he our number one target now, maybe there was other keepers that were our preference but for one reason or another we moved on from them? So maybe we should/will have to do that again? FWIW I don't think we'll do anything but wait it out, so lets hope it's the right choice. Edited August 6 by RoyMac5 Duracell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s possible, and on the flip side, players we previously thought unavailable suddenly become an option. That sort of happened with Kenzo. I think my main point is that if we just held our hands up and said “well that’s it, it’s obviously not happening” at any major snag, we’d never sign anybody who’s any good. I normally find it a good sign when a transfer becomes a saga - means the selling club is reluctant to let a player go because they rely on him. It’s great not to be hoovering up free-agents and squad players from the league above for a change archram, AlvoRam!, RoyMac5 and 3 others 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 This will be the first time in 10 years that we have spent money on a goalkeeper, the last one was Kelle Roos where we spent 15k. We clearly think he is well worth the money & at 26 he still probably has a good 10 years left in the game so there is a good chance we will recoup the money on him & potentially make a profit.

I understand the desire to maximise the results this year, but investing limited resources requires more long term planning than walking away now.

RamInSweden Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 (edited) We don’t want to move on, just wait. Can you imagine if we walk away and someone else signs him and then sells him for 20 million 😆 Edited August 6 by RamInSweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundproofing the basement wasn’t cheap, and there of course is the loss of benefit of that useable space. Then you have to feed them. The cost of lightbulbs too, as they do kkeep breaking them. None of this was explained at the time. I got lucky with Heather, but it was a long time ago and I’m not sure if it counts. Why did you have sound proof the basement .. I just don’t believe you’re THAT good ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing our luck with foreign signings he will be sold to Burton Albion for a few pints of Carling from the local Brewery in a few years time 😅 Do think Warne has a history of signing good keepers though.

Victor johanson is doing pretty well. Dillon Philips is a solid keeper as well. He also brought in Daniel iversen and marek rodak on loan while at Rotherham. Josh vickers was one of his signings as well. Jamal Blackman who he brought in seems to be the biggest bust out of the ones I’ve seen. He may have brought in Lewis price, one of our keepers during that season, but he was signed the season he took over at Rotherham, so may not have been his signing.
