    Welcome Mr bikey. Good luck mate.

    Very happy with Bikey - from his experience, at least, something of a step up from Dervitte.

    I wonder if that's CB done and we will go with Lennon and Gomez has back ups!

    Will that mean To Be Honest isn't coming?

    TBH I dont know if TBH is coming in.

    this is the rumours thread, can someone start a separate thread confirming his signing, he deserves it.

    We have always had a bit of a soft underbelly - Bikey and Buyens appear to have a bit of steel about them which is good to see

    After watching this youtube.com/watch?v=Mh3mfD2kWmw I say sign him up!

    Watched that video of Gudmundsson scoring all those goals for AZ in the Dutch Eredivisie, and for Iceland.
    Okay it's Youtube, Pardew's favourite scouting tool, but I was quite impressed:


    First of all, he doesn't stop running; his movement and anticipation are very good.
    Seems to get himself into very good positions.

    Second, has a decent touch on the ball and definitely not afraid to shoot - whether that's by looking up and placing the ball into the net or striking it venomously on the volley.

    Top Dutch league and current international experience.
    And at only 23, seems to tick the boxes of good, young and hungry.


    Definitely worth a look, if he's got penetration and goals in his armoury.

    If he plays on the Left as well then with his pedigree he'll be good competition for Callum Harriott (Who's main problem at the moment is that he probably thinks he's a dead cert for LM (kinda like Ben Hamer the last few seasons... When he doesnt have any competition for the position his form would drop))

    From The Guardian: Millwall are using their tungsten-reinforced fishing rod to dangle hulking defender Danny Shittu as bait in an attempt to secure Oldham’s highly rated Jonson Clarke-Harris.

    @ Sportifun: OFFICIAL: SC Bastia announces the arrival of Guillaume Gillet and Logan Bailly (trial). Rsca # # OHL # JPL # Ligue1

    Looks like we'll be looking at other keepers then.



    He was the only Goalkeeper I have seen linked with us .

    Personally I would prefer an experienced British keeper , last year the experiment with Thuram did not work.

    Didn't like the sound of Logan Bailly, so it appears good news, that he's on trial with Bastia. I said last night that it had all gone quiet on the Bailly front and probably wasn't going to happen

    I am not too concerned about missing out on Bailly, our resident Belgian fan did not sound too impressed. Experience is vital and perhaps GK is the one position I am on the 'British over foreigner' bandwagon simply on the basis having even a top notch keeper punching everything out fills me with dread.

    He can't have been any worse than Teflon Thuram the non-stick goalkeeper

    Didn't Byl or someone else say that Baily also seemed to have a bit of a Billy Bigbollocks attitude, and lack of concentration and focus meant he was losing his way at the top level?

    Lad's certainly got a finish on him and from those clips seems like he's quick of mind as well. Would be delighted to see him at the club.

    Didn't save them from being relegated though, then again Scott Carson never prevented us from exiting the Premiership :-(

    I'd rather develop our own, young, English keeper than someone else's.

    Agree with you if Pope was ready, but I don't believe he is yet.

    According to this: http://www.claretandhugh.info/poyet-deal-may-have-been-a-steal/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=poyet-deal-may-have-been-a-steal

    It believes that the Poyet deal is 'thought to include a West Ham agreement to loan Charlton an unnamed player for the coming season'.

    Let's hope it is Poyet.

    Some many Lifers wanted him to be around for another season so he bound to be welcomed back with open arms.
