I see that the option of a second year is in his favour ie if he wants to stay.

Sorry but that's gnat very goodComeonyoureds said:Good news, competition for positions is exactly what we need.
Also allows for a terrible joke:-
What do you call a Charlton Goalkeeper in the capital of Ecuador?
A-mosquito

I hope that last season at the wronguns has not tainted him.0

Up until the Daggers game - I would have definitely said that the number 1 keeper should stay as Phillips. Then watching them both I just thought Amos looked so much more confident and commanding in the area. Think it will be a close call.,,1

You can have him back next season then!MillwallFan said:
He’s ok. Nothing special. Surprised so many of you are getting so excited by this signing. I’d say L1 is his level. Just my opinion.Valiantphil said:He couldn't stand the scum
so he's back as number one.0 -
I have little doubt that Amos is the better keeper, but I think it's fair that Phillips starts and it's his to lose.2

Does anyone know why Ben Amos isnt on the bench at matches as our reserve keeper0

One year Extension0

Amos was excellent in goal, more than able replacement if Philips does leave2
-
Its got to be partially down to COVID, players are being safe and sensible rather than taking risks
Could well work to our advantage as without COVID I wouldnt be surprised had all three with extensions gone6 -
Happy with that. A very good goal keeper. Great back up if Dillon stays, a ready made #1 if he goes.3
-
I'd imagine he'll be our new number 1 next season.

I am struggling to name two better goal keepers in league 1 than Amos and Phillips. Kind of expecting this contract extension will lead to Phillips leaving. At least we won’t be hunting around for a loan keeper this year.6

Yes, I wonder if the latter will turn out to be the case.YTS1978 said:Happy with that. A very good goal keeper. Great back up if Dillon stays, a ready made #1 if he goes.0 -
Amos will be a decent mentor for Maynard-Brewer as well who you'd expect to be No.2 next season if Dillon did leaveSouthWest_Addicks said:I am struggling to name two better goal keepers in league 1 than Amos and Phillips.

I imagine Phillips will be leaving now Amos has extended his contract. More than capable number 1 in league one. No complaints from me4

Blimey - what a surprisingly positive last 24 hours for us.4

Happy with this. To be honest, even without all our issues, you have to expect to lose players when you get relegated. Under normal circumstances, I'd accept selling someone like Phillips to raise funds for a promotional campaign. Amos is a very good keeper at League 1 level.6

It’s funny how all football fans read into things and we are guilty of it. For example, JFC & Williams are taking their extension because no one else will take a risk on them in current environment. Amos didn’t play a match last year but he’s only been given a contract to replace Phillips.ForeverAddickted said:

The extension was put forward to Ben when given his contract last year, its his own choice to take it up
These decisions from JFC | Williams | Amos could actually be pissing off ESI as wouldnt be surprised if they'd be praying that all three would leave and so bring down the wage bill
ESI of course could yet choose to sell all three3 -
With regards to the players staying it feels a bit like the relegation after 98/99 when it was only Mills who wanted to gocafcfan1990 said:Happy with this.

Any excuse to repost his no-look save:
Pleased he's taken up his option but sad as it likely means Dillon is moving on. Not getting overly positive about things as this is clearly players getting job security during the current worldwide uncertainty. But Amos is a good keeper so it's nice to have him around.

Very unlikely that anyone would pay much if anything for JFC or Williams with their injury records recently in current circumstances (which is also probably why they triggered the extensions.) Only Amos is even potentially worth much of a fee and even then it's not likely to be huge.ForeverAddickted said:

Couple of thousand more into the pockets of PE and CF rather than a couple of thousand out to each player thoughthenewbie said:

Indeed. This is all about the players protecting their positions in very uncertain times. That doesn’t make it bad news - far from it - but reading anything else into it is unwise.SouthWest_Addicks said:

Agreed - if Conor Washington (or any player who doesn’t already have a contract with us) signs it will be interesting.Airman Brown said:
