PLEASE IGNORE THE ABOVE IF ASMIR BEGOVIC DOESN'T SIGN !
Nice bloke met him. Brum will want him now as we're interested. They're going to get 138 points and score 300 goals and keep 46 clean sheets don't ya know.
Begovic at age 37 isn’t a long term fix certainly but one or two years as number one and I suspect he himself would expect to be dropping to number two somewhere so why not us ? Him moving on now from QPR to another Championship club would probably not be as guaranteed number one anyway. Was @Redhenry post above serious ?

No, but he's first choice here till Mannion is ready to take that role I would guess

Real decent signing. Saves some cash, should be more than good enough for this level, experienced and a real presence in goal which we have missed.
I still think we need more, but I'll be very happy if it's Begovic, which I think it may be.
It should mean some transfer budget left elsewhere, if it goes ahead.

Was their team captain too.
37 so obviously a short-term fix, hopefully they have an idea for the long-term option in the following seasons.

Would rather we didn't if we were paying a huge wage and there's question marks over his performances too.
Judging a keeper from clean sheets alone is a bad stat.

If he doesn’t want to play football anymore, surely he can retire?
We know that he has been a top keeper at a much higher level than CAFC over the last 5 years.
If he doesn't have backache, Begovic would be the undoubted number 1 at lowly Charlton.
He has earned plenty in the last 15 years and should've saved 🤦🏻♂️enough.
Judging a Hotel from its clean sheets is a good stat.
