    After reading that while unemployed NJ has been using his time to build up a dossier on players & spending a few months casting his eye over the dross in our squad I'm surprised that the only credible rumour SO FAR is Mannion.
    While not wetting the bed at the moment I am actively searching for the best deal on bulk purchase of Tena pants just in case.

    Would you prefer a newsletter with a list of all his transfer targets? Perhaps we should send it round to all the other clubs as well? 
    There is literally no point leaking on going negotiations apart from fan service. 

    Just an email will do thanks

    Would be ironic if Mannion is our first signing after weeks of Ronnie telling us we are not going down the free transfer route like Rotherham.
    big difference is he decided to leave Cambridge to better his career at a bigger club , Rotherham signings have been deemed not good enough by their previous teams.

    He's young and extremely highly rated ftr
    He isn't young, 26 isn't young for a footballer, irrespective of a footballers career being prolonged by playing in goal. 

    I also doubt he's extremely highly rated, as extremely highly rated goalkeepers aren't 26 years old with less than 30 league appearances playing for Cambridge, and potentially, moving to League 1 Charlton on a free. 

    Wherever he ends up being good or not is anyone's guess, but I don't see who is rating him extremely highly..
    Right.

    He was a young and very promising keeper at Premiership/Championship Hull, yes?

    Then three things happened at once. Hull went down to League One. Covid pandemic struck. Mannion's contract expired. 

    So he was let go in the worst possible circumstances. And with the whole world, let alone football, in chaos. It was the worst possible timing.

    Do you really blame him for going to Pafos (which is a lovely place into the bargain) and restarting his career that way in the circumstances?

    It means he's had to build again from scratch. But 26 is still young for a keeper, and he's been getting a bunch of very good reviews.

    I'd still say he's young and very highly rated. He hasn't played much yet for a bunch of reasons, many of which were beyond his control.

    He is better than both our keepers in NJ's view IMHO. I know for a fact he wants both keepers gone, not new news, I know

    I really can't see him being worse than our current options really so on that basis bring him in.

    Not the most impressive of stats, and nothing screaming of "highly rated".
    Still, as is correctly put on here by a few posters, a player can be judged when they put on the shirt.

    Big Craig was Pompey's POTY and I'd say he was a similar level to these 2.

    I find keepers the hardest position to rate.

    There’s so many examples of keepers even being 2nd choice, or plying their trade around at lower levels before all of sudden breaking into the 1st team at higher levels.

    It’s such a weird position. I mean Neil Etheridge went from barely playing, until he was 25, to then become a first choice goalkeeper in the premiership at 28 to beginning to not play again.

    I think the only thing that is probably safe to assume is that neither AMB or Isted are anywhere close to what we need.

    It’s a gamble but it’s what we have to start doing to get an advantage over the competition.

    There’s always talk of being first to uncover good players - needing to find them 12 months before they break out after which the whole EFL wants them. It’s a strategy that means some won’t work out and be flops.

    It sounds as if Mannion was being tipped for Cambridge no. 1 next season. If he kept 15+ clean sheets and we’re still mid table League One then suddenly he has many more attractive options than us.

    Agree. Look at Pope, no one batted an eyelid when he left to join Burnley. I think most of us thought he was okay, but who would have thought he'd be playing for England two years later.

    Apparently Brum have tabled a reduced contract for him to  stay there and Blackburn are poised to make him an offer.

    I'd bring him back if we could afford him.

    Even if he only had one year left in him, a good keeper is worth 10 points a season.

    England, no but a few of  us rated him highly and were sorry to lose him.

    Too many only focused on the mistakes earlier in his career and not the progress he had made since.

    Even at 37 I'd think he could still get a championship gig. Would be slightly surprised if he was a genuine target for us.

    I take it that Ipswich know of our (other) interest and want a fee.

    suspect that's why they activated the one year option on his contract. Be a cracking signing if they pull it off

    Walton would be a fantastic signing , played for NJ before at Luton and would be a real coup if we can make it happen and Ipswich don't want a ridiculous fee.

    I think Jones only rates him because of the first name.  :)

    Was at Brighton and Luton with Jones so it makes sense but will he want to drop down to League 1 when he could hang around at a EPL club?

    Plus our record of recent signings from Ipswich has been poor.
