Amos has been great at times for us and made some unbelievable saves, but he has had spells where he seemed incapable of the basics and any shot went past him. He is a loss but far from unreplaceable.7

He has built a house where he can live rent free AND be with his family. So unless we were prepared to at least make allowances for that in our wage offer, I think it will have played a considerable part in his line of thinking.

I questioned his eyesight in his first stint with us, I never lost that questioning of his vision.0 -

"could do better" was often quoted. Can we, is the question.I’m not panicking as we could have 5 signings confirmed next week, but we really ought to be filling the squad in the next two weeks.4 -

Chris_from_Sidcup said:Not convinced with Gregory. Granted he'll score goals at league one level but i see him as too similar to Stockley. Both 6ft 2 and both the 'leading the line' centre forward type. I think we need to go for someone young and pacy to play alongside Stockley.
Unless we're going to play like the old John Beck Cambridge sides, there's surely no room for both.2 -
We can point out to clubs that the loan for Millar had a positive impact, as we could when Beilik joined Derby for decent money. Millar was a long way from the Liverpool first team but that isn't the whole story.0

I've read a few times that Amos wants to be back with his family. He left Bolton in 2016 and has had a permanent contract at Charlton for the last 2 years. Has he really been away from his family since 2016, or has his family been with him and he now just wants to take his family back home and remain in the north west?
If he has been away from his family since 2016, fair play to him for sticking it out and it just shows how lonely a life of a footballer can be.2 -
I suppose it is about strengths and weaknesses. There may be an issue with his leg work for long shots/possibly a bit of concentration too but he is definitely weaker in that aspect of his game. However, he made some terrific close range saves and overall did a great job for us last season and he dealt with crosses as well as anybody.2

Can I ask where it’s been explicitly said that Amos wants a return home?0

3 year deal from Wigan, is pretty good, I wonder if we only offered him a years contract?
No idea how good the Pompey keeper were being linked with is, whether he’s better, worse or about the same, anyone have any thoughts on the Pompey keeper?0 -

I think a lot of the players leaving now made up their minds about moving a long time ago.3

I texted my mate who used to play for Harrogate Railway Athletic (yes really) but thier paths never crossed.6 -
Reality is there aren’t bad goalkeepers as such whoever we end up with.Yes some better than others of course but I doubt our ultimate fate lies in the keeper we have.Other positions will be far more pivotal.1

Almost every League ! club has signed more players than we, and most have not let as many go. Does anybody understand why we are behind and what our strategy is? We cannot be offering enough money to keep players like Chuks and Amos. Are we hoping to pick up bargains from the basement at some time? It does not smack of a promotion building strategy.2
