Chuffed to bits the seasons coming not so thrilled about our start, first month. Charlton are.gonna be right up for it and we will still be looking for a centre half. Lordy lordy don't fancy reading this board for the first month I don't think.

Why wouldn't they? They're half way to another drink.

What the hell does that Pep know, if you really want to know how he is read here and WBA fans comments.

A transfer fee perhaps?

Putting pressure on Bennett for that fullback spot, least in Tony's world.

He's not done so well in any window really has he? Couple of gems but never really addressed our weaknesses.

6ft 14-½"

Spot effin on. Quite the save that.

Exactly.

But not the only one he needs. Bending down to pick the ball out if the net 69.times suggest he might.do better there too. Iknow I know the stats say. Was just tingue in cheek. You need more as a keeper a lot more as part of a team.

Ssshh.

No one has even suggested he was utter shite, just that he has gaping holes! in his all round game, important are those qualities he is lacking. Some think they can be coached into him others such as my self are doubtful of that. To me we all have a little bit of fondness for Raya and I am sure wish him well we just need a better all round keeper. If we lose a little in the cat like reflexes so be it but it's crucial your keeper can claim a cross and not run out of his goal to flatten a striker who is going nowhere. Good luck to Raya but just.not quite there yet, time will tell.

Hoping not, lad did not want to be here last time. Never seen a new signing look so down in the mouth in his first interview.

My memory could be playing tricks but iirc we started trying to sign him well before the end of the window but only got the deal through at the death. I am happy that he WANTS to be here. My feel is this is going to be either a great signing or a massive flop. No in between. Goid5 luck young Gally.

So no news on the keeper or defender front? Funny we have.mention if Mowbary building stability. At the same time we are discussing players we have bought with the intention if selling down the road. That does not sound like stability.

Paid 11p for my first, thought it was a lot. Imagine a few boys on here were buying their first with shillings, or pence even. Proper money that. Enough change in your pocket to buy some black jacks and bazookas and you had to hold your pants up they were so heavy.m

You are going to be disappointed then jim I'm afraid.

I would bet they are well down his pecking order. One or both will have to have a Travisesque opportunity to force Mowbary to have to take a longer look. I am firmly in the camp the believes we would not have seen Travis again for some time had it not been for Richie's red card.

A genuine concern.

Don't forget Mowbary signed him so we may not see him till March or April.

Ooooh tickled me did that Stuart.

For those who say a keeper doesn't make or break a defence. Same defenders total turn around.

Any chance of us getting him though?

WHO?

Don't mind Gally too much but really Tony, we need players that can STOP 10-12 goals rather than maybe score em.
