    I won’t be heartbroken if this one doesn’t happen.
    Don't want him, I don't think his heart would be in it!

    No idea still if Mr Begovic is coming to us.

    I thought I’d try and do a bit of sleuthing on his website, to see if he was ‘on tour’ with his goalkeeping football school (no success).

    Ended up to see he’s got his own AB1 clothing range, quite impressive, goalies gloves etc

    Also has a range of compression based layer shorts, no idea what they do, but might get a pair, and look like,  was it Larry out of cameo, the 80’s band, ‘powered by goalkeepers’ , I like that phrase…


    Kinky!

    Must admit I am surprised he is willing to come to us as first choice. I guess he still wants to earn money and can't get a number 2 gig in the prem...

    Marc White of Dorking Wanderers often says he hates working with goalkeepers....beginning to understand why after this summer!

    29 players on the books currently, need quite a few going out the door apparently, whether this is holding up procedures?

    Oh well. I'm not too fussed about Begovic in particular but we must be down to our 4th/5th choice goalkeeper now. May be better to stick with Mannion & AMB and revisit in Jan.

    Right….plan B it is then.
    Whatever plan B is that is?
  • Oh well it is , what it is , still think we need a new keeper.

    Something we will never know, but intrigued to know how much he was holding out for. Presumably he's been on decent wages in past, surprised he/his agent thought he could still get paid a lot when dropping to league one.

    Depends how confident Jones is with one of those being number one for half the season.

    Not many old goalies playing regular football these days .  It’s much easier to sit on a bench and take the money than spend your last few years making errors- not much to gain as a keeper .  The days of the likes of Kiely playing until 40 are over 
  • Not fussed about missing out on Begovic. Was a very good keeper in his prime but he is way past his best now.

    I would imagine we go for a loan keeper now, plenty of decent ones out there.

    I think Mannion is good enough to start the season to be honest. Not too bothered, no point throwing the wage structure out the window and pissing off the squad. Onto the next.

    I wonder if Walton is still a possibility?

    Still expecting a new keeper but it might end up being a loanee. Would guess most Prem sides will have taken their younger keepers on tour with the first team with Euros/Copa America and Olympics affecting if they have their first choices available. Now that's mainly done I'd expect to see loan movement.

    Must be frustrating for NJ to have tried for Ruddy,Davies,Sinsalo and now Begovic only for none of them to come off. 

  • Well, knock me down with a feather 😴

    Walton on loan must be the option, but then half of the Championship would want him

    Would have liked Begovic, but only if the wages were sensible.

    Goalkeeper can be a bit of a domino effect though, if a championship team gets him then suddenly they probably have a keeper that would be available for us to sign. 

    Would still hope and expect us to get a new keeper in but maybe nearer the end of the window, and would be pretty concerned if we didn’t

    I would be going for Ben Wilson at cov personally, looks like he's going to be there 3rd keeper this year and I would imagine you could get him on the cheap

    Meh, oh well. Could have been alright for the experience, and imagine still good enough for our level while we bring on Mannion, but, at 37 not worth over paying for.

    Think I’d just stick with Mannion tbh
  • Yeah glad we've not been held to ransom by Begovic, not too fussed that we haven't been able to get him

    Im sure, if he was asked, that Deano would still be up for the job now.
