I guess Theresa May would then be Ryan Clarke?

Dandandan its not McLaughlin I do know that. I don't however know who it is.

He does tick the former player box.

James Shea is Jeremy Corbyn, simply waiting in the wings to save the world.

It seems that gradually James Shea is morphing from a very naughty boy into the messiah...

I think it's fair to say that while Middlesborough aren't shit Middlesborough is shit.

OI - the scenario has more than a passing allusion to it.

Wondering about ages of goalkeepers and found this: [Link]

I still fancy it to be mclaughlin in the end

Excellent OI

Fret not. Bayzo is currently on a scouting mission in the Falkland Islands. Bound to uncover a gem there

Tudor - The goalkeeper will be strong and stable and hopefully the defence won't be a coalition of chaos so that we can just get on with the job.

I'm sure this new striker will be good/bad/indifferent for us, but I don't give a fuck about any signing right now, save for a goalkeeper. Another Ardleyball tactical masterstroke of dumping a decent L1 goalie in exchange for the promise of something tucked under Ardley's pillow from the magical loan fairy.

Unless NA does go with McDonnell to prove himself (a possibility after last year) then any goalkeeper coming in knows bar injury he is going to get game time and in negotiations that must be useful to NA

Middlesbrough are hardly going to be shit, they'll be battling for promotion.

Middlesbrough aren't a shit Championship team, WD...

Er, like Middlesbrough?

Ripley was voted best GK in League 1 last year for a shite side that just stayed up, so if you're Middlesborough you surely send him to a shit Championship team.

My choice would be Connor Ripley from Middlesborough. He looked the best keeper in the division last season and a confident goalkeeper with a bit of personality. He might not fancy a move South and he possibly would fancy Oldham ahead of us and might cost too much in wages/accommodation.

Interestingly, Mclaughlin was supposed to be signing for Walsall but they signed Carlisle's keeper the other day so perhaps our rumoured move for him is back on. Would love to sign Christian Walton on loan but looks like he's off to Wigan.

Who's bright idea was it to schedule a cricket international at Taunton on the same day as the opening one at Glastonbury?

WD - I was right about Appiah, and historically I have been on the ball with a raft of signings including Bobby Zamora and Wesley Sneijder. In fact I once got a gentle call from the club asking me to reveal my sources.

I'm guessing that if our swoop for Jamal Blackman fails then Jon McLaughlin may be back in the frame.

Ahhh, apologies for being dim, but I'd always assumed that Wu was someone's name. I've just realised that it stands for "Wind Up".

Doesn't seem to notch many but he's got the height we need up front.
