    Apparently we're looking at the Orient keeper Lawrence Vigouroux.
    Best keeper in League 2 last season

    Vigouroux would suggest that Wollacott is probably off to be first choice somewhere else.

    Just in case two first team keepers weren't enough, let's get a third. Can only assume that in lieu of actually working out how to set up a defence that doesn't leak goals we're just sticking three blokes in net and hoping that sorts it

    The old Aneke question.  Of course, we have to keep him, unless the owners are flush with cash and are happy to pay him up, but I highly doubt that.  

    The issue I have with it is that people still have the opinion that he’s this beast who terrorizes defences based on the 20/21 season.  He was affective coming off the bench, but with each year that has past, and each additional injury, he’s become less effective.  

    I am not saying he’s isn’t worth keeping given the contractual situation and the fact we know he’s knackered, but I don’t believe he’s capable of what he once was, even coming off the bench 
    I know it won't happen but ideally I'd only keep Aneke on a pay as you play contract. Good to have around but them injuries are too much! 
    How exactly would you persuade Chuks to ditch his current contract for a pay as you play one ?
    Can anyone name the last player we signed on a pay as you play contract?
    Bally Smart?
    that is a ludicrous bit of knowledge, fair play.

    Supposedly he's been down at Sparrows Lane. Very highly rated at Orient.

    It would suggest AMB is off too, surely

    Some Gills fans think they’ll announce Alfie May tomorrow. Would hope it’s rubbish although they have ambitious owners. 
    All it will
    prove his how good the player sees himself and his level . Would rather have the easy life in league two then have the pressure of firing a team to promotion in league one

    AMB is an interesting one , I'm not entirely sure if he'd go or not - obviously now he's got a taste for being first choice he's not going to be that happy to see someone else come in that's a genuine No1.

    I'd assume budget was agreed between TS and the new owners and it will just be settled when the deal completes in terms of who pays it. 
    A gentleman who bumped into Mr Methven a couple days ago at Newbury said 

    He said we can only sign out of contract players until EFL approval given, but its going well. Looking for six experienced first team players. Dean knows his budget.
    If we can only sign out of contract players then how have we put an offer in for May?
    No idea. Ask Charlie Methven. 
    What’s it got to do with CM .. it will be Holden Storrie , Rodwell and Gallen who will handle player signings

    No Mr Moore, you misunderstand. Methven told the fella at Newbury the above, unless you think otherwise

    Could we not bid for a player, have it accepted, agree a contract with the player, then the player actually sign it the day our new owners are officially announced?  Surely this isn’t out of the realms of possibility, just so long as the OADT is just a formality?

    if you are that player would you sign a contract where you didn’t know for show that the new owner would be in place.  Also maybe a better offer comes along for him.

    Don’t know anything about him, but if we are looking for a new 1st choice keeper I would say that is a huge positive as not key area to improve.  Don’t think AMB has done enough in the 6 months to be attracting bids from clubs higher in the football league. Can’t see him or other guy wanting to be 2nd choice.

    Hoping we looking to do more than just getting the bare essentials in the window.

    That’s my point, he wouldn’t actually sign it until it’s all confirmed.  And as I said only would you get to that stage if the OADT was a mere formality.

    Will probably get slated for this but I'm not sure AMB is the choice in a promotion winning team either.

    Gloucestershire journalist who reported our bid for May has said Gillingham haven’t made a bid and confirmed we’re still very interested.

    He's a clown.
  • The only Goal keeper we need to sign at the moment is Ahmed Kone our under 18 , he will be a top keeper from what I have seen .

    As far as I can tell, this is what sparked it
    Be amazed if true. Pretty sure he said in an interview that he wanted to test himself.
    At 30 next month then dropping to league 2 hardly backs that up.

    All these people who are Charlton fans bumping into Charlie, it’s quite remarkable really. If I were pissing next to him I wouldn’t know who he was.

    Can’t see a player being bothered who the owner is.

    I think a fair few Charlton boys have had a bump with Charlie in the pisser..

    If we can’t make signings until the OADT tests have been passed and the takeover ratified by the EFL we could be starting the season with no new signings. I think people are wetting their knickers unnecessarily. TS can sign who he likes, when he likes and such expenditure will be covered in the SPA.

    This with bells on it. 

    I tried to say this earlier but you've worded it better.

    Would be surprised if we go for another keeper.

    I see AMB as the number one and think it would be likely Wollacott moves on. I would be surprised if the Orient keeper moves as he wouldn't be guaranteed a first team place with us and it would involve a transfer fee or could it be a swap with Jo Jo moving to Brisbane Road?

    I was thinking that we may go for a veteran  or a PL loanee as back up.

    Agreed.  Although I’m giving people a break on the knicker wetting, as I said before we are the hopeless romantic who’s been dumped and abused so many times we don’t trust anyone.  
  • I would like to think that if May ends up at Gillingham, it will be because we are looking at better targets. However, I am not holding my breath.
    Reminds me of the signing of Mark Kinsella who was on his way to sign for Gillingham, before Curbs came calling, and he did an u turn and ended up at Sparrows Lane. One of our best signings in recent times.
    Recent times ? It was 27 years ago. One for the "things that make you feel old" thread.
