Ben Hamer Leicester City?

 

This would be my take on it. Hamer is only 30 atm, but 31 later this year.

 

He is the only Premiership GK who would seem even close to a realistic target at around this age. It would be a big wage cut for the boy, but 30 is not old for a GK and he needs to rebuild his career after years on the bench behind KS at Leicester.

 

He seems to have been pretty highly thought of 4 yrs ago when they signed him, and has been behind an outstanding number one in a side that won the league, so he could be excellent.

Would be an outstanding signing but I reckon Championship teams with bigger budgets will be after him

I'm not a fan, is it where a poster said "cast something of a shadow" above?

If so, that's pretty oblique, bit of a leap to oasis unless you're looking for it. 

 

Unless there's been another reference I've missed (in which case I apologise fully), I'm calling it.

I made the reference to CNS because he is full of the same negative WUM shite I read from said troll. No idea if they are one and the same. Quite a few more trolls are getting through nowadays but I hope this particular one gets found out more quickly than that prick.

I've read back and take it back, there were other references so fair play to him. At the end of the day though, it's not good when people think you might be a well known troll who left under a cloud, even if you're not him.

As I said, I have no idea. But he has a very similar posting style. 

 

Tbf, we seem to have quite a few posters who revel in negativity and this guy is far from tbe worst.

I wonder if anything what is putting anyone off then because there’s only really been one positive signing ready to play in our first team. 

Its far too early to say that

 

Young boy burns is a prospect and has the attributes to do well in the game

Mclean I think will surprise a lot of our support

Big lad from Cambridge is a bit of an unknown but is something completely different by the looks of some of the you tube clips

Mulraney - will need time

Olly Lee - Good signing

 

For me there are probably 2-3 players who could compete for a 1st team place at the moment

 

SG is right, we will have had to made a lot of contact and there is more to come - we just need some patience but I'm sure there will be a few surprises coming in as well

 

You will probably find more of the squad signings will come in first then 1st teamers later just due to contract situations and players weighing options up - far too early to push the panic button yet

The Oasis reference refers to a now (allegedly) defunct member whose name on here related to an Oasis song.  He/she/it was, let me put it kindly, a negative individual and something of a WUM.  Some may be suggesting that you're posting style bears some resemblance to said individual.  Personally, I don't think you are that person.  He/she/it was in a different league to you.

I apologise for the following Greggs-worthy input. 

 

My brother in law was at the Barbers (the new Greggs).  Barber said he’d been cutting the Hearts goalies hair who’d said he was signing for Leicester. 

 

Id assumed it was Jon going down as back up. 

 

Could be a mix up and was the new lad. 

 

Coul be complete nonsense.

I would be v disappointed if Jon went anywhere as back up even if it was to earn lottery type figures. He's a great keeper in his prime and should be looking to start the next international campaign as no.1.

He's 30 and his last two clubs were Hearts and Burton Albion. He hasn't had the big wage others like mcgregor have enjoyed and won't have a long career left. I don't blame him for jumping at a decent wedge while he still can

Yeah, totally agree. 

 

Hes not going to dislodge Schmeichal there - so I’d not taken it too seriously - or posted it. 

 

Wondered of the other way round was more likely.

I don't blame him if he follows the money. Completely understand it. Personally, I'd rather have Scotland number one on my cv which he should be right now and can nail down if his next move is sensible.

Not played an awful lot of league games for a 32 year old. Never heard of half the teams too. I did see that he scored a last minute winner or equaliser in a game though. I'd prefer we look down south for a keeper

I think he'd be backup. Plenty experience, he's plenty for Bari and Udinise, even with no games those are good clubs to play for. I think there's truth to this rumour, not a name you'd make up and throw around

I get what you mean Jonno. Weve had some great foreign keepers but it's not a position to take risks with in a make or break season IMO.
