Australia's best performance was a fourth place in 1992... If he goes and they equal that performance, he'll miss the first game of the season as the Bronze Medal game is the day before the start of the League One season
Japan is for an advanced country, not on top of Covid with 1% of population vaccinated so far.
Therefore 10 days quarantine on return as well.
In which case Australia only need to reach the Quarter-Finals for him to be ineligible
Aneke, Pearce and Caskey have all been offered contracts - as confirmed by the retained/released list from the club. I think that mean CEL gets a few more in green.
Also Oztumer has been released, that's one for RonnieMoore.
May have looked into it too much but I took Avory's comments as confirming Amos has signed an extension
He said something along the lines of 'Ben will be looking to ensure it stays that way longer (about AMB being a bench warmer)'. He also suggested AMB going out on loan which I don't see happening unless we re-sign Ben and another experienced pro.
It could just be Steve assuming Amos will be here but I think he will.
I said Amos wasn't good enough when we were in dreadful form cause it did feel like anything that went his way went in, that said I thought he finished the season fairly strong and he is comfortable with us, would be fairly content if we kept him on
On Amos, I think his main weak link is shots from distance. Early season when we had a settled defence and midfield we weren't letting teams take the long shots and Amos looked comfortable. When we had makeshift defences and the midfield changing game-by-game the long shots started coming and we let in a lot of "worldies" - these were only worldies because we allowed the attacker time and space to pick their spot.
I am happy with Amos being our #1 next year but would ideally like a better option if we get promoted.
He's good coming for crosses etc & has made some great saves keeping us in matches but he is liable to make mistakes ie fumbling the ball & some of the long range shots that have gone in were just embarrassing. Ideally hopefully AMB out on loan & will be ready for the following season, premiership loan in & Amos on the bench. What I think will happen, AMB out on loan Amos 1st choice & we'll sign a back up keeper.
I did say a fair few pages that Bob Bolder is coming out of retirement and will will be wearing the number 63 shirt. You have neglected to put that on the list even though it is 100% true.

Sorry just realised this is the rumours thread
Agree with everything you say there regarding Amos.
Nothing to stop us announcing a signing or sale tomorrow if it’s completed. Doesn’t matter that it might officially go through on 9th (or 1st July if a contract is ending).
The first portion of the summer transfer window is effectively pointless. You can sign anyone at any point but you can’t register them to play until a window is open. Considering their are no games to play in until August the date of June 9th has absolutely zero bearing on anything.
I'm surprised there hasnt been an announcement on the players that have been offered new contracts yet. Good job I'm not in charge because if a player was taking too long to commit then I would withdraw the offer and tell them to do one. Either you want to be here or you dont imo

"The club can confirm that contract discussions with Ben Amos, Chuks Aneke, Jake Forster-Caskey, Adam Matthews, Jason Pearce and Ben Watson are ongoing ahead of the expiration of their contracts this month."
I remember in 2011 Powell set about his business quickly . We signed Danny Hollands less than a week after Bournemouth had been knocked out of the playoffs . We also raided them later in the window for Rhoys Wiggins I suspect we could do something similar this summer to the likes of Lincoln and Oxford if they are unsuccessful

Exactly. The window just means they can’t play until the window opens. Same as if we signed someone in say October they couldn’t play until the next window opened. Technically all contracts end 30th June I think.
