    Good read, same as the last one posted (by you I'd guess). Seems a great character on and off the pitch. Let's get him signed up and not have to worry about needing a new keeper for the next fifteen years.

    If it was me I can't find where I put it <laugh> but aye, it's his 3rd or 4th one so far. Seems very mature for 22 and taking things in his stride. Dajaku on the other hand seems like a complete energiser bunny <laugh><laugh>

    Yeah he does come across as mature for his age, good quality for a keeper to have.

    Think we might have turned the corner on our period of buying **** keepers. Back to getting good ones. Like him and think like some of our other recruits they can improve through the leagues with us.

    People saying Burge was good enough for us in this division, dafties, we obviously needed a better keeper

    I'd say Burge is an average L1 keeper - decent shot stopper and on crosses, but poor with the ball at his feet and wll drop the odd clanger. That is pretty much par for the course for all keepers at this level. Hoffmann on the other hand is clearly a cut above and recruiting him (along with Doyle, Cirkin, Huggins etc) is a really positive sign for the direction the club is taking.

    I'd suggest Hoffmann might just be the 1st keeper to play in L1 who has a Champions League winners medal
