I can't believe my eyes, an actual fkin rumour? Player of the season for them so great competition for Amos if he signs. Signing other league 1 teams POTY is something I seem to remember us doing in 11/12?curlywantstotango said:12 -

Their player of the year and played every minute last season, yes from meSELR_addicks said:"Although the Blues have yet to officially announce the popular goalkeeper’s exit, sadly his impressive three-year stay has now ended.
What a fine performer the Scot has been too, Pompey’s best keeper since leaving the Championship a decade ago having been recruited on a free from Shrewsbury.
A staggering 64 per cent of those who voted named MacGillivray as their The News/Sports Mail’s 2020-21 Pompey Player of the Season, signalling an emphatic triumph."
National reports today emerged MacGillivray will be on his way, as his existing contract comes to a close this summer.
Pompey have stated they remain in talks with the man who’s received Scottish international call-ups, as indicated when they released their retained list yesterday afternoon.
Danny Cowley is preparing a massive overhaul this summer and is determined to shake up his options, with the Blues missing out on the play-offs and remaining in League One for a fifth season.
Although open to keeping MacGillivray as part of that rebuild, Pompey have to decide how far they are prepared to push to make that happen as Cowley prioritises the areas to focus using his playing budget. The club have an option on his existing agreement.
The Blues are in talks with MacGillivray, Ben Close, Tom Naylor, Jack Whatmough and Ryan Williams who are all about to become free agents.
The reality, however, is there a high chance those discussions will not be fruitful in a number of instances.
A key factor behind that is the Blues looking to raise the bar in terms of quality in the squad, and those players being associated with a failure to deliver Championship football in recent seasons.
MacGillivray was an ever-present last term, producing some excellent form in the process. He has made 135 appearances in his time at Fratton Park, establishing himself as a big fans’ favourite."
Seems like he's good but not great.
Dean Kiely was signed from a relegated team, in the same division as us (though at a level higher).
Not saying he would be in Deanos class, but an ever present, & player of the year does not sound too bad at all, especially if Amos does also remain.1 -

I think your right, I would also be supprised if there wasn't some Championship interest.Leeds_Addick said:Sounds like this story is just to put some pressure on Amos to get him to sign his contract. The timing leads me to believe that too.1 -

Dunno how I feel about him, I know he'll have played more games this season but cant get that game out of my head where he scored two own goals and got sent offesseffect said:

And not just any super duper phone but the super duper transfer phone.

I don’t think you need anything spectacular from a keeper in all honesty.
All you need is someone not prone to mistakes that can command his area. Player of the season for another decent L1 side really would do me.12 - Sponsored links:

A big stretch if you went to Wembley in 2019.cafcfan1990 said:
Maybe much bigger was a stretch, but they are definitely bigger. They have a whole city to themselves and a lot of them love the football. Been three times now and every time I've seen so many families going.Henry Irving said:
Agree but not sure Sunderland are that much bigger and we are in London.cafcfan1990 said:
Sunderland have a new rich owner and are a far bigger club than us. I think we are undoubtedly a pull though and dont disagree that we can win a battle with most other clubs in the division. Attracting players where championship clubs are interested is completely different though.AndyG said:I have no idea who these young Scandinavian player are tbh and also have no idea if they would come to any league one club. However I do think I'm a pretty realistic bloke and hopefully dont allow the rose tinted glasses to affect my judgement and I honestly think we will have the pick of players who think league one is an option. What other club in the league can offer the potential we can now that we have a sensible owner, manager, coaching set up etc. That's an honest question what other club in league one has all of that ?
End of the day money talks so we'll see how much the new Sunderland owner, and ours, is willing to spend.
London is also a pull for the right player, but could put people off too. Much cheaper to get a decent property in or around Sunderland.0 -
Amos was exceptional 3 years ago and is still a very good goalkeeper at this level but he has gone ever so slightly backwards in my opinion. To get another keeper in our squad with a good calibre like MacGillivray coming in would be only a good thing, we need competition for places if we are going for promotion and I mean no disrespect to Maynard-Brewer, he just really needs some game time out on loan.3

With keepers you need to have two number ones for a season. It usually not sustainable over two as one is likely to be happier than the other.1

With healthy competition.SouthWest_Addicks said:Potentially first signing of the season, and played every game last season. Cannot see him coming in as a back-up keeper. Wonder where that would leave Amos
As it should be.0 -
There is no denying Amos had a strong end to the season.4
-
Not convinced Amos will sign a new deal if he’s likely up be 2nd choice.0
-
True. I suspect there may also be an element of psychology on the clubs part though, telling him (and by extension others) that we aren't going to be held hostage. If he doesn't sign the deal, we can and will look elsewhere - no-one is irreplaceable.Scoham said:Not convinced Amos will sign a new deal if he’s likely up be 2nd choice.0 -
There is no way that we sign MacGillivray and resign Amos.
I think by and large our keepers, over the last 5 season have been pretty good and it was only really the season and a half where Dillon was No1 we had a proper back up keeper. Neither of the two mentioned would sign for a league 1 club to sit on the bench.
If they were happy to do that they could both get a championship gig, or even a home grown 3rd choice premier league 1.0 -

Look at previous seasons, he has been riddled with injuries. Whatmough would be a decent signing but only if we had a back up plan. You can't plan for him to play a full season.esseffect said:

The Pompey keeper would be a real coup imo. I think he looked solid when I watched him play and as I said before Amos may have ended strong but he still is very suspect for long range shots0 -
He played 1 game in 19/20 and 2 games in 15/16 due to serious injury. So yes most of the season, twice.esseffect said:

Agreed, I think Amos is going to leave though. Strong rumours he's quite keen to move back North and Preston are interested. Shame he's not under contract as we could have used him in the deal to get Stockley.Cafc43v3r said:There is no way that we sign MacGillivray and resign Amos.

I don't think Amos is the answer if we want to play out from the back, Adkins has made it clear he wants a keeper who is as much a footballer as shot stopper0
-
Happy to admit I didn’t check previous seasons. Let’s see where he ends up0
-
Just to create extra rumour out of nothing but currently watching the England Squad Announcement on Sky Sports News.
Came up saying that Norwich are looking to sign a couple of CBs and are looking to turn the loan of Ben Gibson into a permanent deal... You wouldnt expect Akin Famewo to go from League One to the Premier League, but certainly even less opportunity for him in the future12 -
But perhaps Akin wants to test himself (and the salary radar) in the Championship.
Which has just reminded me that we haven't heard any words of keenness from him to return or about his time here have we? Quite contrary to Stockley and Millar.2
