The real question here is how badly is the Fulham bloke injured??? That is the crucial detail - short or long term?
Bad news for us all on top of this Bruce has expected lost his appeal, we have now got to hope which ever keeper we use does a decent job, I'm not sure the management will be 100% convinced which keeper to put in, we have one untried who didn't get good reviews in the pre-season games and then we have the other one who got dropped not only from the team but the bench has well
It was at nought anyway, that's why he always looked so shaky. I think this episode might push him into the Gary Speed zone
What ****ty news this, can't see how they can play Amos now so it's going to have to be this guy Jakupovic who could be useless for all anybody knows in our league
Its just Martin Jol being Martin Jol. Looks like Clint Dempsey was right in what he said. Its only until January FFS. Not ideal but hardly the end of the world. With Faye - Hobbs and Chester as a back 3, anyone of us could go in goal and do a decent job. Time for Ben Amos to come back reFreshed and rarin to shine. Last chance saloon maybe ? So what ? I bet Stockdale has some words for Jol on thursday. In saying that, maybe better to have Amos in goal for TWS game. In saying that, did not Martin Jol state that only an injury to Mark Schwartzer would mean a recall ? Hope Ben Amos comes back and shows his City knockers 2 fingers. (with 4 clean sheets)

Well if any City fan was in doubt about the January window then this news will Just reinforce what has to be done. Nevermind loan extensions anymore.....Martin Jol cannot be trusted..........Pay the price and sign Stockdale, period.
Looks like many Fulham fans are not happy with the treatment of Stockdale by Martin Jol. Some even suggest that this will be the final straw and Stockdale will leave regardless in January as he is being treated badly and is being dragged from Pillar to Post. Not the first time apparantly that Martin Jol has done the dirty on Stockdale. You can here the cry now from R5.......... I am a GK, get me out of here.!!!!!!
Amos' confidence doesn't come into question here. If Amos wants to prove himself, here is his chance.
I think it's time to put this seemingly eternal problem to bed. Play Amos for now and offer Fulham £1m for Stockdale in January and lets have an end to this ridiculous thorn in our side. (ps. I have no idea how much Fulham want or how much we are prepared to offer, £1m is completely arbitrary)
Yeah but if we are willing to pay 1m for Stockdale then how come we weren't willing to pay that for Mannone!
I thought the goalkeeping position came into the realm of 'specialist position in which emergency dispensation can be given' ? Might be a bit cheeky considering we have 2 back-ups though.....
Are there any out of contract keepers we could bring in for a few games? Kacey Keller could be one example.
