haven't read any of the other posts on here but all I will say is someone ask Hamer to talk to Robbie Elliott & see if he has enjoyed his 3 matches in 2 seasons............
I'm sure he has... Done fuck all work and is probabyly nigh on a millionaire
Now, I know that (most of) what Mr Murray said at the Trust evening bask in December (?) didn't come to fruition - but if memory serves me correctly, he said that Thuram was actually on a permanent deal for a 'number' of years despite being reported as on loan.

Could we have Ben Alnwick back? he is a free agent
Agree Alnwick alongside Pope would bee good cover.. They could compete for number one..
Alnwick left Orient for personal/medical reasons... Not sure what they are, but from what I have read a return seems unlikely.
"He signed from Charlton at the end of January but made only one appearance - at Rotherham on 1 February - before being unavailable for personal reasons"
"However, a week later, it was announced that Alnwick was suffering from unspecified medical problems, and was unable to train or play."

Alnwick's son was born blind and he needed to take time out from the game.. He is now back in the market and wants to stay nearby so his son can continue seeing g he same doctor.. perfect for a come back!
One point I do think a lot of people are missing g about the players brought in in January is that Roland came in with not long of the transfer window left he needed a quick fix to make sure we stayed up! There were numerous reports of us being in for players Eagles best swp however they didn't work out so he had to do the best he could with what he had available ie the network! Those players were brought in as a quick fix to make a difference.. I do not think we can just assume Roland strategy for this summer will be the same.. He has time and knows more what is required! We have to wait and see..
Murray meeting was early February - full write up on Trust website... Thuram, Ajdarevic and Koc are (I believe) signed permanently to Liege and loaned to us until end of this month... whereas polish Pete and Nego signed to us. There was also talk at the Murray meeting of signing up to three premiership loans at that time which simply didn't happen. Some combination of Pope, Hamer, Alnwick and Thuram is possible for next season. I don't think we will be better nor worse in this area.

Without being funny, if Hamer is off leaving us Pope Alnwick and Thuram if you are corrected. Pope is very inexperienced at this level, his experience is at the lowest level of professional football, granted he's done very well, it's a bit different behind a 20k crowd away from home being booed, a bad day may hurt his confidence. Alnwick's head may not be 100% in the game, and that would be understandable, and with time away from the game he will need time to regain his form. And Thuram let's not even go there, can't even trust him to travel to the match let alone perform at it..
If we lose Hamer we need to sign an assured proven keeper imo, especially if we are to lose some of our more trusted defenders. All if's and but's but we cant rely on Pope to be our 1st choice keeper all season, he's very young and I saw some sides of his game he needs to work on watching him at York.

Come on Roland...admittedly he'll probably go to a Premier League side.
Looking forward to seeing Pope get a chance next season.
