Celtic's new keeper signing Viljami Sinisalo was a target for #cafc.
Exeter City GK coach Kevin Miller, who worked with the Finnish international last season, has revealed the Addicks' interest in the 22-year-old.
He was outstanding for Exeter last season so at least shows we are looking for a very decent keeper to come in.
A good goalkeeper is 100% worth waiting for and I'd much rather we hold off and try and get someone that Jones actually wants as No1 rather than push the panic button and sign anyone just for the sake of it.
Obviously this does have risks, you don't really want to be bringing in a new GK at the last minute and hoping he settles with the defence properly, but I'm reassured that we seem to be actively looking for someone who is a clear cut above the Isteds and Maynard-Brewers out there.
A really good GK can turn a decent defence into an outstanding one.
Ooo... that was a nice move... Not sure who played the ball, but lovely long ball to Campbell, who got in behind Palace, ended up with a cross but just too high for Hylton
Only issue i have is we seem to be signing Luton Town's Vet's team
Potts in Defence - Berry in Midfield - Hylton up front, all able to guide those around them on the training pitch / in the EFL Trophy, and school them in the ways that Jones likes to operate
I was joking @ForeverAddickted i think tbh, Berry and Pott's in particular are good signings, Given we can only register 22 players + U21's do i really think Hylton should be in that 22? probably not tbh

Oh I know you were lol!... What I posted was one thing I was genuinely thinking the moment I heard Potts
Worth people remembering that of the limited number of loans Jones has got in over the years, he's been happy for it to be their first choice goalkeeper. In 2016 he loaned in 5 players and 3 of them were keepers including Christian Walton. Those 3 played all 46 of Luton's league games that season. He did the same in 21/22 getting Jed Steer, Ingram and Palmer in to cover there in place of James Shea. The next season Ethan Horvath was loaned in to be their number 1. He seems quite happy to switch round his keepers, which would explain why we got Mannion and still want another, and he obviously isn't bothered about the keeper being temporary. Also it seemed like he would rather sign almost anyone on this earth than play Harry Isted so he must really hate AMB.
I'm fine with it to be honest, we've had some great EFL loan keepers in Amos, Steer and Rudd. If there's better standard keepers to loan than buy at this point then let's do that.
Would still like an additonal striker, we're playing 2 up top, you can't rely on Chuks and Leaburn will not be match-fit for some months.
Campbell has been tried in that position. Unless we change systems back to 3 up front, I imagine that if he plays it'll be as a central striker who drifts wide, rather than a pure winger.
That’s why we will give Hylton short term contract .. Leaburn due back in September .. Aneke will be used as impact sub he never looks the same player when he starts ..
Didn't look too shabby today when he started... and a goal of the season contender before the season has even started...so put that in yer pipe and smoke it!!

Playing 3 keepers ought to hopefully address our clean sheet issue .
