Surely Pope is ready..?

I get the distinct feeling that, despite having signed him, Sean doesn't have 100% confidence in him.

"I would like to say thank you to Sean Dyche, (goalkeeping coach) Billy Mercer, the staff and players at Burnley who gave me the chance to play in the premier league again at 37," Robinson said.

"In all my career I have never been a part of a more dedicated, hard working set of players and staff.

"I wish them and all my former clubs the very best of luck for next season."

“Paul played a big part in what we have achieved over the past couple of seasons – literally at times last season – and always as an important member of the group," the Clarets chief said.

“He made a big contribution during his time at Burnley and we would all like to wish him well in his next venture, as well as making sure that he will always welcome back at Turf Moor.”

Surely Pope is ready..?

We need three keepers though and experienced backup is the way most PL clubs go.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Agreed Primitive, a 41 year fit, experienced, international goalkeeper provides just that.

What about an aging, relatively fit, experienced, Thompson Centre 5-a-side keeper ? I'm available, I wouldn't cost the earth.

You wouldn't be considered Sinkov, you are in the Barton mould as you like a bet :)

Do you have any Irish ancestry?

[sinkov]

My father-in-law's Irish, that should help. Alto does have a point though, I probably have more bets in a day than Joey has in a week, and I've also been known to nip out to the 110 Club at half-time if it's not going well. Ah well, it was just a thought.
