Oh joy, the answer to all our problems. We are going to sign a 2nd choice keeper, from a championship side (wigan) who have themselves won one game in the last ten, there's, nothing like ambition, and that about sums up our level of ambition. PS. Will their tea lady be joining us anytime soon, or can't we meet her wage demands.

{Ed025's Note - so long as we dont get their chairman JCW thats the main thing.. by the way, did you hear that he broke his leg at wembley?, he does not like to mention it though mate.. :)

The player in question, Al-Habsi, is likely to be playing for Oman in the Asian Cup, which takes place throughout January. Tim Howard is expected to return in February. Aside from any concerns about the quality of Al-Habsi, what's the point of signing him - even on loan - if he won't be available for some of January. We need an experienced goalkeeper in the squad alongside Joel until Howard returns. In the summer transfer window, we can look at permanent replacements for Howard and/or Joel - that is unless one of our young goalkeepers (Griffiths, Stanek, Hunt, etc.) really shines, which is unlikely imho at this relatively early stage in their development.

{Ed025's Note - good logic there sid...well done mate..

Only my opinion, but don't think Bobby will sign a replacement keeper! I reckon Robles will get a run of games now! The scary thing for me is that he even looks like Richard Wright:(

Ed do you know anything about these coleman rumours that are going round. If he went to chelsea could a swap deal including someone like salah be on the table. Also with petr cech onthe bench could we negotiate a deal including him although wages would probably be a massive issue.

{Ed025's Note - they are just rumours as far as i am aware sean, martinez will be very reluctant to let him go, the press love to jump on these things when a side is struggling mate, cech will not be coming of that im sure, and with relations not great between chelsea and ourselves after the atsu debacle, i doubt we will be doing much business with them anytime soon, but thats just my take fella..

Thanks ed. Thought cech was a bit optimistic. Would be gutted to lose coleman aswell. Are we working on deals for mirralas and mccarthy aswell. Mirralas is the worry for me with rumours he wants champs league.

{Ed025's Note - there are new and improved deals for them sean that the club expect them to sign mate..
