Has to be a quality one though and our record of keepers over last decade hasn’t been much. Kiko, Bailey peacock and Meslier. What makes you think we’ll find better willing to play at our level

There has to be better out there, we missed a trick with 2 in the summer both having good seasons in the championship, Meslier has been steadily getting worse season by season, most could see that but the club decided to stick with him, Farke even stating he's the best in the division, even though the stats of saves to shots have him down as the third worst keeper in Europe. If we can't find one, which would be piss poor recruitment , then we need to be playing Darlow. All keepers make mistakes, at every level but ours doesn't even get the basics right. Most managers now must see him as the week link and must be rubbing their hands together when they get a corner against us.
 
I'd happily forsake any more signings if we get a new keeper in.

Tomoko Hayakawa - a friend for Tanaka. Contract ends 31st January 2025 so would be a cheap purchase, and from a 3 minute Youtube clip it looks like he can do everything that everyone says Mes can't. I presume the other 3056 minutes that he played that season aren't as good though :emoticon-0140-rofl:

Downside is firstly he probably wouldn't qualify for a work permit, and secondly, he probably only looks decent because of the level he is playing at :emoticon-0102-bigsm

Alex McCarthy, 35 I know but always been a very steady keeper, try for a loan until the end of the season, someone of that ilk, then reasses when we know where we are next season.

Andrew Omobamidele rumours gathering pace, £10m 22 yr old defender from notts forest. ROI international.
Sheff Utd want him on loan until the end of the season but reportedly Forest would prefer a sale.

Mail was reporting that we're willing to listen to offers from Mes.

This is probably very likely as 49ers like to talk to the Mail

We're still waiting for that £40m offer from Chelsea to materialise. Been coming any day for the last 3 years.
