Retained list and / or "moving on" - Page 3

This was Chapman's first season as a first choice keeper at any pro club, and he aint young.

There is no way any club would have offered him a good 2 year+ deal a year ago, however he did well after losing his spot for 9 mins on the coast, and made the best of it once Max had his tear.

2 recent keepers in play-off finals, one on verge of premier league. Then you have Etheridge who left for a much better deal and is now semi-pro 2 years later, and Chapman and Mooney looked very similar at one stage had completely different fortunes. Fine margins.

I bet they weren't premier league clubs not getting at Clarke but you can't get everything regarding contracts right I liked Chapman great lad but as a goalie he had plenty of faults but he had a great season with us and we move on time will tell if Chapman improves anymore but I wish him well and hopefully we will unearth a gem of a keeper.

"i cant see many players choosing us, if another league club is after em"

Who said anything about Premier for God's sake ?
My comment was in response to this from Cashman.

It's Clark without the E by the way.

So whats Clark to do with Chapman? was a completely different scenario.

We didnt show faith - or he would have been given a 2 year deal like the nucleus of the squad.

Twenty Eight....
Please don't try to suggest what I 'Intimate' in my posts because there is nothing in that post that says I think he should stay!
Rather the opposite in fact, in that I suggest how I fully understand his reasons for going to a 'Bigger' club...etc.
I repeat .......please don't try to analyse my posts .... just enjoy them!.....
Even Freud would find it too difficult to understand how I really think!

Johnny Maxted looks a great keeper to me....
When John and Jimmy have really boosted his confidence he will be more than good enough to be our No 1 keeper....
We will have to sign another keeper as well though!

Clark(e)y won 'Goal of the Season'....... correctly IMHO........
ps I voted for his goal!

Blimey i referred to Chappie in my comment stating as to why i thought confidence was shown in him, despite not the best of starts. i also said "Not Many" players would sign if other league clubs were interested, and i still hold that view. sorry choirboy that shoulda been the post before yours, but i buggered that up. lol

Lads had a great season beyond his wildest imaginings.Wish he stayed but wish him all the best with the move.

Apparently there's a keeper from Liverpool going cheap.
