new keeper

maccawozzagod · 10-06-2010, 16:38

todays Observer has Coley as saying that we have signed a goalkeeper from a Championship club and that he has some International experience. Not announcing who it is yet as the guy is on holiday so has yet to put pen to paper.

Any guesses who it is? I'm going for Alan Martin or Darren Randolph. Hoping for the 2nd one

I would prefer Martin, for what it's worth.

Maybe it's a season long loan ? There's an international keeper at one of your near neighbours who doesn't seem to be wanted by the manager

If you were talking about DAVID Martin, then I would agree, RR. Personally I thought Alan Martin was no better than Bavs.

David Martin is due to join MK Dons after being released by Liverpool and I really don't think Alan Martin would return to the Crown Ground.

Is he a Peruvian International?

David Martin has been signed by MK Dons, correct.

Alan Martin wont come back, which doesnt bothar me, he was average at best.

Randolph and Elliott are both fighting for Charlton number 1 shirt so no chance there either.

Could be an interesting signing if it is Penny.

Season long loan could be exactly what he needs to get back into the swing of 1st team games having hardly played for the Clarets.

Rabbit out the hat anybody

Would be very shocked if it is Penny. Only seen him a few times for Burnley but has a lot of potential from what I've seen before. Hopefully he's learnt to speak English in the last couple of months!

He has one year left on his contract, no chance of a first team game. Would make sense to loan him out,though there would have to be a subsidy on wages. He's played more games at the Crown Ground than he has at the Turf

Beast may not have had a good season but I'm pretty sure he was one of the 3 busiest goalkeepers in the league, law of averages says cock ups will occur

.

He has re-signed for 2 years and Laws has already made enquiries about bringing in another keeper to fight for the shirt.

It also seems Penny may not be allowed to go out on loan due to work permit conditions, so may have thrown a red herring in here
