    Chicago's posts are somehow still getting weirder.

    How so?

    Are you on drugs again? Or is your holiday with Shady on the seaside freaking you out?

    Chicago: Completely sane.

    You seem to be suggesting we are going to sign a 35 year old former left back who played for us between 2016-2018

    Oops Adama Traore. The baby oil got me
    Too excited.

    Chicago: Slippery.

    Angus Gunn! Back up goalkeeper (2nd or 3rd choice?) out of nowhere.

    Had to look him up! On paper seems a good signing. We needed a second choice keeper.

    Was a free agent apparently. So I'll keep my expectations tempered.

    Norwich signed him the last time they were promoted to the premier league, so might be they can’t justify his wages.

    They paid £5m for him, too

    Internet reports are not glowing. I have seen him described as "a bombscare" and "a better kicker than Matt Turner, but a worse goalkeeper".

    Averaged 35 games a season the last three years, but not going to add much to our attacking threat. Last assist was in 20/21 whilst playing for Stoke.

    Seems to be Scottish first choice, which makes a change from our regular Welsh international reserve keeper.

    You’re looking at webmong fan reports of keepers who are available on a free transfer & expecting them to be glowing?

    Either we trust our recruitment team (though their record on keepers is… patchy) or we don’t. Current international (sure, so were Turner, Pascolo, Muric & Vlachodimos), other clubs have seen enough in him to shell out decent money in the past, he’s not old, his fitness record is fine…

    I imagine the list of keepers who are happy to come in as No.2, probably won’t play very much if at all, meet the criteria for homegrown, & are free… pretty short.

    Let’s hope we never need to find out except in an occasional League Cup match vs League 1 oppo or below!

    I didn't say anything about what I expected them to be. I simply stated what they are.

    We don't have to trust them. They are going to do whatever they want, whatever you or I think, or care. We are entitled to have an opinion, though. Both before and after we've seen them play.

    I despise this 'trust', 'respect', 'let down' narrative that people thrust on each other on the back of zero knowledge. Whatever happened to just cracking on, and people making their own personal judgement on whether you deserve their trust, respect, or are just a massive bellend?
