The moral of the story is never ever get into an Eagle unless you're accompanied by Alan Carter. Although Alan Carter lost pne Eagle and four crashed Eagles. For three of those crashes he was pilot, and for one he was co-pilot. Koenig is the worst driver with 7 crashes. Surprisingly, and despite trying his best Tony Verdeschi has never once crashed an Eagle. Don't ever fly with a new character like Star Trek same outcome. Koenig being the commander probably took more risks though and was prepared to sacrifice himself for the greater good. Either that or he's a shit pilot.

We need a keeper asap. To not have one yet is pretty poor. We need a decent keeper if we have to wait for quality that’s better right? Travers is double the player sarkic is

Travers is double the player sarkic is I think we should have cleared the decks and signed 2 tbh. Sarkic would have been fine especially actually owning him and not another position that needs fixing next year. 2 weeks left and Bonham is still number one is scary.

Still think the reason Sarkic fell through is that he was told he would only be back up. Once he gets his head round that I think he will sign and we'll get rid of Bonham.

You're telling me we would pay over £1m for a back up keeper? You're also telling me the move was practically agreed and then we dropped in "oh last thing mate, you'd be 2nd choice.. that ok?" Not a chance.

Nixon... Need Darlow done before Travers goes … Stoke would have a strong chance as it stands. sounds promising. There's a bit from Nixon on Stoke tomorrow too, could be an update on Travers or someone new maybe?

Don't know how much money we have got to spend, but most of it should be spent on a good goalie and centre forward. This absolutely Get a good goalie and a good striker and I’ll start to get excited

Certainly goal keeper and centre forward are the 2 most important signings. If we'd had competency in both positions last season we'd have been 10-15 points better off.

We need a keeper asap. To not have one yet is pretty poor. To flip it on its head. We could have Sarkic in and done by now, but you wouldn’t be happy. So would you prefer to have Sarkic in, or 2 weeks before start of the season get Travers?

So that would be pretty much it for defense unless tchamadeu comes in.

Sarkic would have been fine especially actually owning him and not another position that needs fixing next year. 2 weeks left and Bonham is still number one is scary. I think that's a fair view. Personally I'd prefer to get the better keeper in, which I think Travers is, and the fact we have to wait for them to get Darlow done is a reflection of where we now are in the pecking order of things. The potential of it just being a loan v getting Sarkic in permanently is a valid question mark. If we've got wind that Travers is available on a perm and we've been able to broker a deal, I think we've absolutely done the right thing in waiting to secure his services, imho.

There is no possibility we would pay a fee for a back up goalkeeper and certainly not wages at the level needed for Sarkic.

Is Bayram really a more dominant defender than Wilmot and Rose? I know almost nothing about this Turkish lad, but he isn't that big and still very young. Will he really be first choice in our central defence?

Can’t see him coming in and being the dominant centre back we need from the off.

Played 10 times for them last season, rest of the time he was on the bench. Either way, he won’t be coming to warm the bench here.

Not a chance. I still think Travers will be on a permanent it's the one thing that makes sense of the change of heart. We definitely need a permanent GK as #1. We are just waiting for Darlow to be done I reckon. He's the right age good champo experience and was in a promotion team. What's not to like over Sarkic?

Yeah I did and I'v watched other games too. Connor Taylor is better and we'll end up loaning Bayram and selling Taylor

Certainly goal keeper and centre forward are the 2 most important signings. And a first choice central defender. We are still 3 key players away from a decent team.
