Jamie Jones ex Wigan keeper

Luke Southwood has joined Bristol Rovers.

Don't suppose we got the reported million quid?

Good luck to him. Seemed a good lad.

Ha. If we got a tenth of that I'd be surprised

Christy Pym? You are making these up.

Nope that was a genuine suggestion - Mansfield released him. But Bertie is on the money - Nixon has said we’re in for Jamie Jones*, and Iles has said he might be onto something…

*late of Salford, previously of Wigan, born in Kirkby, started at Everton five years below Schuey…

I kind of think keepers at this level are much of a muchness, the exceptional (Trafford) and unfortunate (Crellin) aside. Obviously hoping TSL is more of the former.

Southwood was an able understudy but it makes sense that he would want to go back down south and play for Darrell Clarke again; likewise any of the names wouldn't keep me up with thoughts of terror of them appearing.

Ilesy; “It is believed a left back and a striker are still on the cards, with a back-up goalkeeper now joining the list, but Bolton have not ruled out doing even more business if they choose to move on any more of their squad.”

With that in mind, the current guessing game online is trying to identify the trialist goalkeeper from a grainy screengrab. Suggestions include Ben Hamer, Christy Pym and Paul Farman, but to me it doesn’t look as much like any of them as it does like Schuey himself

Does this suggest Ceesay isn’t on the radar so much?

Apparently Ceesay is almost done,

Apparently Jones was in net in the second half vs Tranmere. Caught off his line from what I've read. There's also clips online showing his mistake when he went for a water bottle and mistakenly picked up a back pass.

I'm getting Crellin vibes with the Everton link. For a backup keeper we could do worse but if we're not confident and our loan keeper starts badly we could end up needing a Gilks style signing to come in and sort out the mess.

Still I suspect we'll be signing our covering goalkeeper by proximity rather than quality as the pool of people wanting to up sticks and move their family to benchwarm is likely to be relatively small
