@lee_ryder Lee Ryder #nufc #cafc boss Chris Powell today: "I'm led to believe there has been a little bit of interest [in Elliot] from NUFC, at embryonic stage."

:omg:

My issue is that time and effort were wasted on something we really don't need, at a time when we don't have one left back at the club and our "strikers" can't score for f***. You really think we've just stopped on the other two possible deals to sign this lad don't you. It's absurd. Not really no but the whole point is that this a pointless transfer. Say Harper is injured and Krul gets sent-off...are you happy with Soderberg or Alnwick stepping in? Most clubs have 3 senior keepers on their books. Even Sunderland signed another keeper despite having Gordon & Mignolet. When you put it that way, I guess signing Elliot makes sense. But I'd rather he was used as the third choice keeper instead of 2nd choice (which seems to be the plan if he does sign). Surely if we were that concerned about injuries and suspensions we could have saved ourself another wage by not letting Forster go to Celtic for a season ? Forster wouldn't have agreed to that. Plus, won't Celtic by paying Forster's wages? Aye, don't think Forster would have been entirely happy with sitting on the bench all year...

Harper tbh Shola - let's hope he has a great game then (usually the case against the mackems but with Shola being Shola, hmmm).

Nice

Sky Bet odds mean f*** all.

Unfortunately this is so, honestly can't see Ashley financing such a move.

We were in a position where we had 3 keepers thinking they're number 1s. That's never going to end well tbf. True....

So we're signing this lad as back up? Would much rather have Harper as 2nd choice tbh (due to his experience and all that).

tbh

Definitely this. Though if Ferguson is fit enough, I'd start him ahead of Raylor.

I see what you're saying wormy but really can't see Joey dropping down a division.
