By his comments after the Sunderland game you would assume it’s gonna be a keeper today.
Now, we obviously need another keeper on the books, but in the immediate we needed another outfield player, I hope I’m wrong but I expect to be disappointed with whoever signs today.
If we sign a keeper I don’t think it’ll be the Villa one. Bowyer can’t go on about being careful, only signing players that’ll improve us and then sign a player that’s only made a few cup appearances on loan with Wigan.
We basically have an u23 squad, and we go and sign a second choice keeper first up.
Boring as fuck
Jesus calm down mate. We don’t know who it is yet!
After the last couple of years, it’s perfectly natural to assume the absolutely worst possible imaginable outcome........ will end up being slightly better than what actually happens

No, we don’t basically have an under 23 squad. We do have an unusually large number out injured which necessitates utilising players from the under 23 squad. Unfortunately that is life in league 1.
We have not signed anyone yet, and we don’t know who the player is that is having his medical today or what position he plays.
I am interested in who it is, which is why I read this thread.
I don’t find a fuck boring, maybe you are doing it wrong?
How long have you got? It's a bit complicated this year.
As much time as needed.
Read at your leisure then:
EFL summer transfer window When does it close?
The EFL transfer window opened on Monday 7 May and will close at 5pm on 9 August – the same day as the Premier League. This is five days after the start of the EFL season. EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey said: “This new approach will give clubs and managers the stability they crave earlier in the season whilst also providing the flexibility to add to their squads after the traditional deadline until the end of the month if required.”
Loan deals and free agents; EFL clubs will still be able to sign free agents and loan players until 31 August.
EFL window key dates; EFL clubs will still be able to: sign players on standard loan up to 31 August 2018 sign players on standard loan up to 31 August with an option to agree a permanent transfer when the next window opens register players who ceased to be registered with a club during the period up until 31 August transfer players out to a club in any league whose window is still open
International transfer deadline; The Premier League and EFL now have different transfer windows to their European counterparts, meaning there will be two deadline days this summer. Here are the window opening and closing dates for France, Italy, Germany and Spain: Sweden: 11 August Italy: 18 August France: 31 August Germany: 31 August Spain: 31 August Scotland: 31 August Russia: 31 August Belgium: 31 August Turkey: 31 August Holland: 3 September

I did not use the phrase “too many”. I am suggesting that it is not unusual to have young upcoming players in league 1 teams.
What size squads have those two teams got then and what % are under 23 compared to us?
Think we should have had whip round and payed some money towards a player like we did to raise the £50000 For Ronnie Moore back in the day trouble is Roland would sell him next day for £20000

Great to “strengthen” a position we don’t need to fill.

Igor

Clarke

All experienced pros, plus Djiksteel who would be in the 1st team squad too. Now Pearce, that's 7.
Steer will be well known to Andy Marshall, who would have been his keeper coach at Villa.
Must have been recommended then.
Ideally, as well as keeper, Jed Steer can also play centreback and central midfield?
Exactly what we need.
