    Maybe a hint in the offing.

    Hard working player, lacking pace or the ability to take on a man, so in the position we've been playing him it's no great loss. In his preferred position we have better players. Overall, we won't miss him and it may free a spot for someone in a position we need more

    31 isn’t old for a keeper, if he was good enough he could almost certainly be our keeper for the next 5 seasons, but he isn’t so won’t be.

    And was never intended to be. I didn't need Tan to tell me that.

    Everyone seems to acknowledge Allsop is good with his feet, but I don't think people appreciate just how good he is. He quite routinely puts Connolly through on goal with one pass and he probably should've had a few assists at this point. Off the top of my head there was one against Birmingham, one in the first few minutes against Cardiff where he rounded the keeper but a defender blocked the shot, and the one that led to Gunn wiping him out on Friday. Our build up probably plays a part in creating that space before Allsop plays the pass, but make no mistake that his long passes are a serious weapon for us, and if Pandur is going to oust him he'll need to be similarly good.

    He is good with his feet, no doubting that, but it's absolutely pointless when he's as poor as he is at the goalkeeping side of things. It was a panic buy that is having to now be rectified.

    At face value we wouldn't pay MK Dons the fee they wanted for him in Summer '22, so we loan him from Burnley last Summer. Clearly a try before you buy which hasn't worked out. Hugely disappointing given the supposed fanfare that surrounded his arrival.

    He is good with his feet but he’s a ****e keeper in everything else. His reactions are so slow and his positioning is so bad it’s almost comical at times.

    It’s like talking about a full-back who can whip a good cross in but can’t actually defend. That’s why Coyle is a better option at right-back than Christie despite the former’s limited passing/crossing ability. Coyle can actually defend; Christie can’t.

    Would that be legal? Certainly seems dodgy from an ffp point of view

    He’ll probably want 10x what Sharp is on to come back.

    Allsop is, arguably, the worst shot stopper I have ever seen since I started watching City in '68

    Poor old Hezza (although he had brighter spots in his previous career)
