It's like the twilight zone from last summer. Yet even with experience of what actually happened refuse to accept we need 3 keepers. They just rather micro annalise and 'worry' about what choice a player is. I used to go out with a micro annalise. Four foot 11 she was.

Not sure he’s ready for Championship yet, get it that that’s his opinion, but he’s 28 spent his career so far in League 1 and 2, must surely be back up signing. If so, seems a bit strange he would sign at his age, unless he truly thinks he’s going to oust Davies. Maybe Davies is on the move. Time will tell I guess.

They do but 3 all expecting to be number one? I mean ideally yeah that's where you want to do. We're an FFP mess with a fragile bunch of blokes who don't seem to like the motivation competition can bring. I dunno, I just don't think we need 3 keepers challenging for #1 spot. That's why I think well see Bursik as 1, Bonham as 2 with Blondy out on a good loan with a recall. Davies out to the highest bidder. Bursik and Bonham will be a lot cheaper than Davies and Gunn surely, which will help ease FFP elsewhere in the squad? Which makes sense. Keeping Davies and adding Bonham doesn’t.

What happened was we found out we had a really good young goalie and managed to sign 2 or 3 really good back ups at short notice. It wasn’t a problem. Broome is imo potentially better than Bursik if he can stay fit.

Bonham wouldn't come as a number 3 surely?

Bonham wouldn't come as a number 3 surely? significant pay rise for him presumably? promoted to number two next season? or maybe Davies is off

Presumably we'd be giving him 1-3k a week to come and do fuck all if he is 3rd choice?
Seems a massive waste if that's the plan.

Last year we got caught out massively without a third keeper when Davies and Gunn got injured. If he is cheap and prepared to sit on the bench for long periods, I do not see what the problem is. He is clearly not coming in as a new number one.

I am not sure MON is as in love with him as large sections of our fan base are.

I am not sure MON is as in love with him as large sections of our fan base are. But then renders the whole 3 keepers argument null and void doesn’t it? I agree, Davies leaving is the only way this makes sense. Ah yeah MON clearly doesn’t rate him. He got Gunn in to replace him and this could be a similar move. It’s not as clear due to this lads calibre but Davies leaving is the only thing that makes this one seem logical.

Sounds like the odds on Davies' departure are narrowing.
We have a Bonzo

Every recent manager we’ve had identified our squad is too big and tries to solve it by signing more players.

If neither Davies or Bursik are leaving, either on loan or sale, then I would say it is a monumental waste of a squad place, one of the Under 23 keepers could fill in as a number 3.

I believe it could signal the end for Davies, they're going to want Josef playing week in week out to aid with his development, Adam Davies is a no.1 he won't be happy to be sat on the bench all season, he's also more than likely paid like a no.1 too.
We beat off competition at the time to secure his services, he came on a free from promoted Barnsley but had been playing in the championship with them previously so would have been on a half decent salary, the fact that we then beat teams off and that he looked to be coming in as Butland's replacement (who we subsequently failed to sell) would suggest that he'd have been on a handsome wage. Especially as it was around the time that we were handing out 3 year deals & 20k a week to the likes of Lee Gregory that summer.
Davies is now entering his final year, is on a decent salary & isn't guaranteed to start, especially with the development of Bursik at stake. It would make perfect sense to bring in Bonham who is going to be on probably a third of Davies' wage, would be happier as a no.2 & sell Davies for a modest fee whilst also removing his wages from the wage bill that could be put to use better elsewhere in the squad.
I like Davies, he's done very well for us but he's not a world beater and it makes sense if this were to be the plan.

Quite a decent feature on Bonham on The Athletic today.

If that happens then yes and I hope that is the case. I worry we've been in this situation before assuming players would leave then we end up with lots of players, we're quite good at signing players but just not very good at moving them on.

I don't think we should realistically keep both Bursik and Davies
They will both want first team football, so this signing makes sense.

I doubt if Bursik would attract a huge fee at the moment. I'm sure he wouldn't go for anything like what Collins left for. Also he won't currently be on anything like the wages Davies is on. So in FFP terms selling Bursik at present would not make much sense.
