AMB has the "youth player" bias, he's just as, if not more shit than Isted. Both aren't good enough for a promotion chasing team but at least Isted is average to below across all attributes, AMB is a slightly above average shot stopper and is terrible at everything else
Agreed, if we had bought AMB from Lincoln he’d get a lot more stick.
I’m not sure that’s true . AMB got plenty of stick last season - quite rightly .
And that’s what I want from a keeper. Someone who has proven himself at this level and been part of a winning team and defence.
I think that would be valuable info if he’d been playing for a struggling team, but less valuable if he was playing for a team with a great defensive record.
I think with keepers you really have to watch lots of games they played in. And those stats alone don’t mean he’s proved himself, for me.
With Bartram it was one outstanding performance (when playing in goal because of an injury to the ‘proper’ keeper) that attracted attention, and they brought him in on trial to have a proper look at him.
Stats are fine, but a long way from being a deciding factor imho.
The guy with poor stats might have had three times as many shots to deal with, and conceded many goals from close range, because he’s playing for a poor side.
Dillon Phillips would be great back as first choice
The Dillon Phillips of our Play off winning season where other than the final look away moment was consistent and despite being a keeper that liked to stay on his line if possible was as safe as houses in that promotion season, would be spot on but has he lost his edge ?
Jones and the recruitment team are not quite finished, with movement expected in and out of the squad.
“Our business isn’t finished yet,” he said. “It’s a big squad so one or two will have to move on, but we still want to add more quality. We’ve still got not far off six weeks of the window, in terms of being able to do that. So it might not be in the next day or two, but by the end of the window, I would like us to be even stronger than we are now.”
Do we need new goalie Ronnie Moore you said Isted was a fantastic goalkeeper when we signed him last year.
Isted is an excellent keeper to good to be a number two ..
A lot of his keeping last season was decidedly number two.
Both Isted and AMB have a two major flaws in their game, neither talks to the back four and both do not command their area, they are both good shot stoppers but their is more to being a goal keeper than just that.
Not sure if I’m mixing this Bradley up with someone else at Derby but when we played them one of the CB looked as slow as a cart horse I thought it was Bradley and if it was I would not want him.looked shocking.

No the very same centre half, I too am not sure with this sites obsession with him is, I guess the fact he was good at Luton a few years ago and is vocal but we do can do far better
In the absence of any real rumours and in the light of knowing we want two or three more. Who realistically and in what positions do we think. I have no names but I’m thinking GK, Centre Back and Attacking Midfielder.

Those would be my guesses also. Possibly more if we lose someone unexpectedly to injury or a surprise offer but I'm not really expecting either.

His name is Sonny Bradley which is a good Hardman Centre Back name. That plus the fact he played for Derby genuinely explains it

I roughly see it per below; so needed are a goalkeeper, CB & CM. Wouldn't mind if Ness was sold and another CB bought in too.
As for names, highly unlikely but Walton (GK), Bindon (CB) and Poveda (CM) would be amazing but all will play for higher clubs next season I am sure.
I think Edun becomes a midfielder and is the cover.
Coventry, Docherty, Taylor, Edun, Anderson and one more in
In the 10 it's Berry, Fraser and Campbell and we'll look to replace Fraser.
Centre back we have 6 already so I expect either Ness out permanently or Zach out on loan to accommodate another there.
Keeper we need to sell one to buy one too IMO.
I can't see incomings until we shift a couple of them out now
Agree mostly but have a feeling Jones is looking at TC as a #9 rather than a #10, which the more I think about it makes sense. Quick feet and a decent finisher, think he could provide us a different option to what we have up there if we come up against someone in the old hardman CB role. I genuinely think we're only a few (quality) signings away from something that could do really well
Still would like to see Fleetwood player of year Brendan Wiredu come back.
Surely he will move on this summer. Too good for L2
Would slot into that back 3 excellently. Can bring the ball out, decent passer, strong, Fleetwoods captain, age on his side at 24, and some unfinished business.
As you say, there is no way he should be playing in league2, it will only slow down his career when he has the potential to play in the championship at least.
Have a friend of friend is an ex-Luton player so close with Nathan Jones and ex-Luton players, caught up with them today and said that Dan Potts was a done deal to us, that we had also been interested in Harry Cornick but he didn’t want to leave Bristol City. Unsurprisingly Isted has also been told he’ll only be 3rd choice so very keen to move on and hoping Barnsley come in for him.

Comments
But I’m taking a simplistic approach here. As I said in my original comment none of them reek of number 1 to me.
This was Walton when he joined Ipswich.
Goals Conceded - 197
Clean Sheets - 56
And that’s what I want from a keeper. Someone who has proven himself at this level and been part of a winning team and defence.

BRADLEY JOINS CHARLTON
https://www.charltonafc.com/Could have had a bad game though.
Most business now will probably be outbound.

Need to build the team around our one true superstar.
