Interesting as I think that a keeper will be one of Slade's first signings. Wouldn't be popular to bring in a keeper such as Flinders to take over the No.1 jersey from FDM but I think it is the right thing to do.
Slade has the advantage of being able to be objective as to how good a keeper Kuipers is now and not being influenced by how long he has been at the club and what he has done for us previously. We shall see,

Yes he does live in Brighton, but I thought the rumour was he was on £8k at Palace. He'd have to take a massive pay cut to come here.

i'm sorry but i think the FDM is past it in my opinion. Although he has been a great servant to the club should we play him based on this because whenever the ball went near him on saturday i was brickin it. this is y i think we shud get flinders because i rated him when he came down on here on loan and he must be better than sully if he cant get the no.1 shirt off of kuipers!

Well since his contract will not be renewed he will soon be on £0.

I don't agree with you about FDM. He does have his dodgy moments as do all keepers at our level, but I didn't notice any on Saturday and he made a couple of decent saves.
However, I'd prefer Sully to Flinders. I didn't rate him as anything special when he was here - had his dodgy moments too. Hasn't he been on loan to a Scottish club for part of this season?
I have no problem with us bringing in a keeper who is superior to FDM or Sully, but in my opinion Flinders wouldn't come into that category.

Can we meet that though? Will he accept 65p?

I think you're right. By my maths next year will be the fdm's 10th season at the club. That makes mayo on 12(13?) years, Hart on 10 and the fdm on 9. I can't rememebr ever having so many longstanding players.

It would be great if we could sign both of them Flinders would take over as No 1 and Ifill would be an automatic choice, when fit. As has been said Slad had Flinders on loan at Yeovil so obviously rates him quite high and I consider him to be better than FDM, who would be an ideal back up.
Sully said his contract was up and he would have to take a long look and do what is best for him and his career, so a move seems on the cards.

Your comment comes as no surprise as you'd probably think I was better than FDM and I haven't played in goal for nearly 30 years! But I disagree entirely. I saw nothing in Flinders to say that he was better than FDM. If we are to have a new No. 1 then I would hope for better quality than Flinders.

Mmmmm? Marvellous
makes no odds, the lad is Brighton born and bred, and has been banging in goals for large parts of the season. I would have thought a years contract would be an option, on of course reduced terms. But I would still feel other Championship clubs will be sniffing around after the goals he has scored.

Originally the Swankers
And Kuipers thats for sure.
Don't get the adualtion he attains TBH as he is no better than average League one standard at best.

To be honest with Super Russ in charge now I think signing a crock like Ifill is unlikely. I would imagine he will be very careful and clever with the money available. Who knows is the real answer though!
