Hobson apparently out on loan, Gateshead or Boston, but Southend mentioned, although this won?t happen until financial mess is sorted and embargo lifted. Southend preferred destination.

As a number 3 in the pecking order maybe, hasn't played many games in the last few seasons.

Wasn?t he linked with us before when he left Bradford?

As Harry Tyrer doesn't appear on the latest video and the fact we're looking at other keepers seems, to me, that Tyrer will not be returning.

Helping out with numbers for the early pre-season friendlies until the loan window opens up for us I?d imagine

His signing was well documented on here last season well before he signed and he went on last seasons pre season training camp so it is looking extremely unlikely he?ll be back.
Little bit sad and disappointed by that in my own silly way.

I can?t remember where i saw it but there was a link with a move to Blackpool, either permanent transfer or loan?

The only glimmer of hope for getting Tyrer back is that there are reports of home grown players from Everton, Villa, Newcastle etc being sold amongst each other to get around FFP. So if Tyrer is involved in that, then he could be getting a permanent deal finalized before having a loan deal sorted from a different parent club. That's of course a long shot on many levels, but just in case anyone wants something to cling on to!

For me, we have a decent goalkeeper in Ryan Boot. It wouldn't worry me if he was our first choice keeper for our return to the EFL. Don't get me wrong, I'd welcome back Harry Tyrer in a heartbeat, but it may be that we have to look for another decent keeper elsewhere.

I think Everton will want to take a look at him in preseason before he goes anywhere. Maybe that will be too late for PC if he wants to finalise such a crucial position. I wouldn?t want us to wait around till August waiting for him to become available.

I with you on that.
I get wanting to resign Tyrer as he has gelled with the squad, management and fans - we know what you can get with Tyrer. A new signing would have to start from scratch building that relationship.
I'm sure there are decent keepers available to compete with Boot - it's just finding the right one if Tyrer doesn't return.
Tbh, if he was coming back, I would have expected him to be here weeks ago and in Spain with tbe rest if the squad.
Taking another keeper on trial with them to Spain kinda tells its own story

The keeper, Sam Hornby is the son of the Head of Recruitment

It's not what you know, but who you know 😂

Looking at his stats, he's not played that much so would probably be No2 to Boot if it came down to that.

I don't think he's on trial, or I've not read that he is, just probably helping us get an XI v XI scenario going while were out there.

Similar to when Stevie Gerrard's mate(who's name escapes me) came on a similar trip with us in the past.

That said, if Cookie likes what he sees whilst he's out there then who knows?

I dare say if he participates in training, practice matches and is a free agent, he'll be on trail whether is official or not.
My reservation is that his career reads like a No2 keeper so wouldn't be up to much tbh

Birmingham City have agreed a fee with Chesterfield over the signing of Albanian creative midfielder Armando Dobra.

The former Ipswich man managed 10 goals in 43 games last season and was one of Chesterfield?s best attacking players.

Player and club to open contract negotiations.

As the Notts fans are pointing out, this account reported Langstaff to Swansea yesterday, so they don?t think it?s a trustworthy account.

Its prime kid in his bedroom with nothing to do transfer rumour account just making stuff up.
