Not one player in the squad should think they are indespensable, everyone should have someone challenging for their place in the team and thrive on it ,thats the best challenge they can have.

If true and he does come here on loan it wont be as a back up keeper but someone to challenge Colin for that # 1 position ,and thats how it should be .So please stop saying we need a backup GK. no player we sign should come here as backup ,they should come here to challenge for that position thats how we will improve as a club. We had backup players last season Vilhete , Sandat , Dackers and Kabangolo , because we were desparately short and under an embargo, we are not now , we have new owners so its a new beginning , i personally hope every signing we make is either as good or better than those we have now so every position they will have to play for . They the players from last season showed us all they love a challenge ,now we have to keep giving them that challenge so they can improve also .

Is "made an enquiry" news ?
I guess so, i'll take any hints, love reading rumours, much more so than the kit thread yawn face

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

He's not a relation of John is he?

Unlikely he was born Meath, Republic of Ireland.

havnt got time to check but someone said to me earlier that this Spurs lad kept Laurie Walker out of the Barnet goal for a period last season. I note someone said this lad would be inferior to Colin, i would say based on his age, the club he is at, has represented his country at U21 level that he would be ahead of Colin in the pecking order. Would be tough on colin but dont see Spurs allowing him to come to us to be an understudy. I love colin but the one downside to his game is with his feet, although he has improved massively over the last year and especially working with David Martin

If you get an opportunity to bring in better than what you have, take it, otherwise we will be stuck in this division forever!

Come on now…give me this one at least, it was a good guess!

View from. Barnet contacts:

Good keeper who is tidy with the ball at his feet. Comfortable playing out from the back, but does have the odd howler in him.

Of the goals we conceded last season there were some real howlers from our defence / midfield. We had the best defence in the league but still allowed too many soft goals. Cut out those mistakes and you win or draw games but don't lose.

Sometime the best approach is to clear your lines and not play out.

Wonder if it’s a loan or perm

I doubt if it says highly rated at spurs they will let him leave permantly

 

[Medway Blue]

Nobody should be thinking Collin's status as number 1 is set in stone, least of all Collin himself. Anybody who comes in will be competition.

I’d be annoyed if a loan and it stunted Collin’s progression as one of our own. Permanent and it’s a different matter, fair game.

If it's the latter, I hope they don't use the same hairdresser as our former benevolent leader.

A knowledgeable Spurs supporting mate of mine thinks they might let him go. They have 2 youth product 'keepers ahead of him as 2nd and 3rd choice (Austin, 25 and Whiteman, 22). They also have Forster to return from a long term injury.

Apparently, Keeley went on the last 2 Asia tours before this summer's, but they let him remain in the UK this year to try and sort out a transfer.

They've had L2 clubs showing an interest as well.

That word gave me a slight twinge in my gentleman’s area.

 

[Flinty]

Could it be that Collin has interest from others and we are backfilling first ?
