Would like to see us move for Jon McLaughlin, 30 years old and knows the division.
Not keen on taking goalkeepers on loan as we are starting from scratch every season trying to build the relationship and understanding with the defence.
Totally agree. Its probably the one posistion where you need continuity.
Amos was top drawer for us - particularly after saving the penalty against Portsmouth and then through to the end of the season. He was one of the signings Robinson did get right.
Bowyer has made no secret of his admiration of Amos and has even said that he is far too good to continue in League one. A strange thing to say if (a) you want the job and (b) want to retain the best players.
For me Amos had a shaky start, but ended in fantastic form. In fact it reminds me of a certain sketch where I play both Statler and Wardorf.
Statler: Boo! Waldorf: Boooo! S: That was the worst thing I’ve ever heard! W: It was terrible! S: Horrendous! W: Well it wasn’t that bad. S: Oh, yeah? W: Well, there were parts of it I liked! S: Well, I liked a lot of it. W: Yeah, it was GOOD actually. S: It was great! W: It was wonderful! S: Yeah, bravo! W: More! S: More! W: More! S: More!
Opened this tread ar this post and thought what the f*#k. Does show how far he has come with us.
I think Lee was managing our expectations and knows that there is already interest in his services. I think he is 28 this year so now or never for his career.
That looks like a pretty clear thanks but I'm off message from Amos.
And great shame as he has turned into a top class goalkeeper but not the end of the world as there are second and third choice keepers at Premier league clubs who would probably jump at a chance to play regularly
Hoping the new owners make a good effort to get him in permanently. Nothing more reassuring in football than having a solid goalkeeper between the sticks.
Ben Alnwick has signed a new deal to stay at Bolton, so Amos will definitely be off somewhere else. If we had gone up, we'd have been in pole position.
Really tough being a Charlton supporter these days. It hurts a lot.
Trying to tell myself " What does not break me, makes me stronger " RD - Just get the takeover done you piece of shit.
This. We'll see more similar things happen if the takeover drags on. When do the players report back? Late June? Who will be taking charge of the pre-season preparation then? Like I just said on the takeover thread, our new season will suffer if the takeover isn't done within a month's time. RD just leave!!!

He seemed to enjoy his time with us and was impeccable all season,
The current (and continued) lack of infrastructure at the club can only be to blame.
Just looked nothing on either teams forums
Nothing on twitter
Nothing on bbc or skysports.

However, I don't think Millwall will pay £18k per week and would Bolton subsidise a move to a club in the same Division?
I could see Amos going somewhere like Stoke who might be able to stump up his full salary and even give the Trotters a transfer fee.

Even if they sell Butland (which am sure they'll do), they've got Lee Grant who did a good job as No.2 in the Premier League for them

I know about Grant. Most Championship teams have two good keepers.
There are many other CC or even Prem sides who might sign him.
