Released List

We gave him another chance...shows he isn't up to scratch. Perhaps he was advanced for his age, but didn't carry on improving. If you can't improve here, you won't improve anywhere.

 

That's 3 keepers gone

 

Which hopefully means we're going to buy at least 2!

 

We have one good keeper (who is discomknockerated), one young keeper (OK for emergency), and one old retainer (who can also be wheeled out for emergencies). Ideally we need two more good 'uns in case Forster is out for longer, but don't think that will happen as the money is needed elsewhere, so I reckon we will sign one good experienced keeper who will be excellent behind a sound defence.

 

Agree with Fran that I think we will buy just the one experienced keeper to be first choice until Forster returns and keep Kelvin as reserve/first choice.

Gazzaniga could end up on loan or potentially sold.

The club seem to rate young Harry Isted very highly and he and Britt will be in contention for the u21 keeper jersey

 

I want Bill Hamid. He just signed an extension with DC United, but we could probably still get him.

 

Reed said we want to buy one youngster (Bentley hopefully) and a loan to cover Forster.

 

My God! I forget we used to score from corners!

Some Dutch friends gave me a signed Jos shirt four years ago. It says 'Believe'. Nice one Jos. I haven't stopped yet. Champions league to come!

 

I see west ham are in for him.....wouldn't mind him here.

 

Who is Bentley?

 

Southend keeper.

 

He's at Aston Villa now I think?

 

Real Madrid, Saints and now Villa....I can see a pattern here. Look out, Pompey, there's a player coming your way in a couple of years.

 

Oh Fran to drop that far is a lot longer than a couple of years. A decade at least!
