    Well we won't be getting these from Bournemouth.

  • Would have liked Ryan Fraser.

    I stated earlier on this tread that Chelsea hired out the Albert hall,
    for a Christmas Party for all their loanees last season.
    I would like to correct this statement as it was incorrect.
    The Albert Hall was not big enough so they hired out;
    the Earl Court Exhibition Centre.

    Mings clearly has a lot of potential and is good on the ball, but in the PL may be exposed defensively, as he has far less experience than Cresswell who left a year earlier.

    Wasnt overly impressed with Mings @ the Valley this season... Felt his only quality was the fact that as a full back he was so tall that our winger had to lob the ball over him rather than crossing it making it harder for the ball to be attacked

    I do wonder if we are going to see another goalkeeper turn up at some stage. Henderson's injury problems last year turned out to be pretty impactful on the defence as a whole, are they happy with the youngsters as back up or will we opt for a more 'proven' back up?

    Have you forgotten Marko Dmitrovic?

    There was a rumour that he failed a medical with us.

    Alright Jordans agent the club have got the message and a pay rise will be forth coming. Please now stop with these ridiculous rumours.
  • Really hope Cousins stays. Think good chance he could be captain next season. If we lost him from the centre of midfield we would have no pace at all

    Have you forgotten Marko Dmitrovic?

    No. I just don't rate him very highly! With a new GK coach to come in it may well be some time before we know. And it's purely speculation on my part admittedly. It could well be Dmitrovic is seen as perfectly serviceable back-up but he's still pretty young for a GK and we saw how big an impact an inexperienced GK can have on the defence as a whole.

    With all these rumours about the 'Bournemouth three' I did wonder about Lee Camp . With Boruc and Federici in front of him I am sure he would be available,

    Why ?

    I hadn't even got as far as naming specific names tbh. I wonder if Camp might not be a little expensive wage-wise for a back-up/second choice but quality wise I would be quite chuffed to have him as a second choice!

    Always thought Lee Camp was shite.

    Popey and Marko are more than adequate to sit on the bench a cover the odd game here and there. Plenty of decent keepers out there getting splinters in their arses who we can loan in an emergency.

    Only throwing Camp's name out there because of the Bournemouth three rumour . I can see he has his detractors !

    I agree with @thenewbie in that I would see him as a decent second choice / could compete with Henderson for the gloves if we can afford his wages .

    We saw last season with Etheridge and Pope that an inexperienced keeper cost us points . Dmitrovic hasn't played many matches either . I also like the look of Dillon Phillips .I would like to see some of our squad goalies get loans down the leagues so they get experience . I find it interesting that both David Button and Ben Hamer barely played for their parent clubs Spurs and Reading but each had played plenty of first team games before they pitched up at the Valley .

    I actually think Etheridge is not a bad keeper he just needed games. If we lost Hendo for a long period next season we must ensure that we are not caught short again.

    That's because we relied on them for too long. I'm not his biggest fan either to be honest, but we could probably get someone like Rob Elliot in on loan pretty easily and at short notice if Hendo gets injured and will be gone for more than a game or two without having to pay Elliott, or whoever, when we don't need them because Hendo is fit.

    My main concern is not that Dmitrovic WON'T be good enough. Simply that he's not yet, unless he's suddenly developed a lot since he appeared last season. His reactions, saves etc seem to be decent enough, it's the leadership that Henderson provides the defence that Marko doesn't that concerns me.

    And I am not for one minute saying we definitely should get another senior keeper in on the off chance. Just wondering whether our Glorious Leader will see it and how Roberts' departure will affect things, if at all.

    I'm more worried about our lack of centre backs, Central midfielders and that we only have 2 strikers. We have 5 goalkeepers

    Reserve goalkeepers seem to me to be a logical saving that can be made by having a network as emergency loans are normally agreed for that position.

    He's fairly well connected

    Wondered when this would spring up again - having said that with a name like Buxton the puns will always be on tap.
