Pleased that another player is across the line. This one has been rumoured for a while and I would like to think that we are working on a number of others like Stockley and MacGillivray who are good enough to make a big impact at the top end of this Division.
Interesting comment by McGillivray that this has been bubbling away since the end of last season. Makes me think that Amos did indicate that he would leaving or at least would if a Northern club was interested. Of course even Amos being out of contract necessitated us looking but there was obviously significant contact with McGillivray.
I believed Nigel and Steve Gallen when they said they would be following up and working on transfers straight away. Not surprised to hear that the MacGillivray transfer took some time.
As I said yesterday the bulk of our signings need to be done over the next 28 days so we can start the season with everyone other that a couple of loans or maybe a late move for someone after August 7th with a Yann type signing (behave Sam!)
I want players to get to know each other at Sparrows lane not on the field at the Valley against the 'massive'. The longer they can work together and get the pre season work done as a collective the better.
Good signing. 2 years younger than Amos, who was okay, but nothing special. I have no clue if he's any better than Amos, but I highly doubt he's any worse.
Welcome aboard Craig. As others have said it seems his biggest weakness is coming for crosses, something I loved about Amos. Other than that though a very decent signing and a solid replacement for Amos.

I feel like having a weakness like that is at least something that can be worked on and improved. Where as being a good 'shot-stopper' is probably something that on the main you have to inherently have due to various genetic traits.
Looks like a very solid goalkeeper. May have some struggles with the ball at his feet in tight situations but his long distribution actually appears to be excellent - one of his strengths last season. Plenty of balls delivered onto the head of Jayden Stockley I expect.

What the hell is an Exit?
Coming off the line to claim crosses / high balls.

I’d imagine it’s number of times he leaves his box

It would be be interesting to see the stats for Amos to compare them

I thought there may have been a reply from an optimists saying 2 years is good as it means we can sign better when we’re in the Championship!

The usual stuff I imagine
Very pleased with this one - more like this pleased TS & NA!
Onwards and upwards!
As a lot of cafc twitter have about Amos?
How do you pronounce his name properly?
He spells it differently to the only other one I know, Jermaine, the rugby league player 🤔
stupid boy 🤣
