What if Hamer has said he is off at the end of the year because the old boys club is being broken up.
Powell knows Thuram is the best keeper (he's seen them all training for a few weeks now) and only here for 6 months so loan out Alnwick to get some games and renew his contract if he continues to impress. Leave Hamer on the bench if he's not going to stay otherwise we are training up someone else's keeper for next year.
As I said, devils advocate but still a possibility.
Fair analysis.
Remarkable team selection at Doncaster then.
Haha, fair point AB, although conceding 3 goals won't have helped. Everyone said Alnwick deserved the chance to keep the gloves after his previous games maybe Powell felt the same but as with button last year one or two bad games and the second choice is out.
You know far more about the inner workings of our club than I ever will AB and I have great respect for you. I just don't want to buy into all the doom and gloom (yet).
Sometimes we need a change, our current group of players seem to have us heading for relegation maybe a change could turn that around? Thuram made some good saves for us, and one howler, by all accounts. if he's the best keeper let's give him a chance.
If we want to drop wages then loaning out a 3rd choice keeper, on possibly first team wages, seems like a smart way to go. I'd rather do that than deplete other areas of the team.
Sky saying that Wolves have accepted bid from Celtic for Leigh Griffiths, so that probably leaves just Bournemouth as an option for Yann. Still hope he stays.
We could have stayed up without this with a few signings. I really cannot stand the idea of this network. What identity will we have in a few years?
Im not a fan of it, but staying up this season is key whatever way we do it.
But this is a long term plan. It's extreme but I would rather go down with Powell in charge, with the manager able to play the players he wants, than be part of this network over the long term. We are simply a holding place for a random colleciton of players who have no link to the club and are not chosen by the manager.
Any Morrison rumours? Celtic, Bournemouth, Liege? We've sold our goalkeeper, midfielder of the season and our best forward is on his way so surely he's next.

Whats to say these boys won't come in and next season get us into the play-offs. It happened at Watford.
Then RD will be signing players of a perm basis for a few quid in the Prem.
Im undecided until we actually see these players in action.
