Good job - never really understood the need to have more than one top keeper at Championship level. Injuries are rare and it is a waste to have players picking up first team wages if they only play 6 games a season.
Got to say, I thought Pope looked very inexperienced when he played against Bristol, and of course he is. Would be worried if he had to play an extended part this season. Young striker is one thing, goalkeeper? Good luck to Button, think he's too good to be a back-up.

What a shocker !
Can't believe for one minute that SCP is happy with this . If Ben H should pick up a knock in training before Saturday, Nick Pope is thrust into the first game of the season on Saturday .
No disrespect for Nick but surely this is a nightmare scenario ?
Really wondering what the hell is going on behind the scenes at our Club .
Other Champ Clubs must be thinking the same & rubbing their hands.....
Pope hasn't impressed me though. Button then again, flattered to deceive also.... I hope we're not in that much shit that we are having to clear the decks ....
Good news as far as I'm concerned, Pope goes on the bench and if Hamer does get injured we loan in a goalkeeper until he's fit. As others have said hopefully means a striker or two will be signed.

Or we just need the money? Powell is praying for Yann to not get injured during friendlies, now he's going to be fretting about Hamer potentially all season.

Would of thought Button pressed for the move as he's guaranteed first team football. I'd like to see us bring in a more experienced No2. I really hope we do some business in the next few days, none of this is ideal so close to the start of the season!
Bit far fetched , but could spurs have a sell on clause that they are willing to have for obika?
Actually, doesn't sound that far fetched at all.
They may have bigger fish to fry at the moment than the sell on clause that may, or may not be payable on their former fourth choice keeper moving to the third division?

Awaiting striker announcement now.
Good luck to him.
