You seem to miss the point you can have the best goalkeeper in the world but when you have poor players in front of him you will concede.
Your rational speaks volumes for you let's sign 11 goalkeepers that will sort it out.
Let's not get a defender to replace Livesey or a decent midfielder.
Keep playing fantasy football
My rational(e) is that if a better keeper is available, let's have him. If you can't see that as a positive, then there is something wrong with you.

But we knew that.
It's taken sometime to realise that a better keeper may be 'an option' - rather than a priority.
Pedro is correct - there's other positions that need to be strengthened other than a new keeper. Where do I begin?..winger, central defender, creative midfielder, top striker...
A keeper would be at the bottom of my list judging from our recent form...but then I'm not the manager.
I'm sure he knows what he's doing? Doesn't he? :roll:

There was Captain Dan and Billy Bones and me...

Why are many sooooo bloody critical repeatedly?

I am sure Adi has a big list of who he wants but nothing is as simple as that is it, Even if a new Goalie was 4th or 5th on his list but suddenly the right choice becomes available, What should Adi do, Say no thanks I need a Midfielder 1st & I refused to bring anyone in until my priority choice becomes available....That would not get criticized would it!!!

If he gets the majority of his targets no matter the order he gets them in, That will do for me.

Our last 2 signings seem of good pedigree to me, hope they begin to thrive & help change the culture within the team.

Well done Mr Manager.

He has, That will be interesting to watch them & Guiseley with all the BAFC connections fighting it out to avoid the drop, Hopefully we are not in that conversation.

Saturday is a huge game for both clubs.

I hope we have stopped paying him now as officially he was put on "gardening leave" when he left us. His role at Chester is only voluntary. Is announcing he is voluntary a way of engineering we still have to pay him?

You’d have to be a complete muppet not to see that adi signs Arnold everywhere. He is his go to man between the sticks and has a fair bit of experience. And good stats 100% win ratio for Gillingham this season (fair play not many appearances) and promotion with Forest green. I’m buoyed by this signing. And he fills me with more confidence going to guiseley Saturday than Dixon would. Perhaps Moore could be a good understudy both will be driving a hell of a lot of miles this season.
Pedro knows there will be a spike in forum activity due to said signing. And therefore gets a little bit of much needed attention when people rise to petty and Inaccurate comments.

I am according to you a “Smart Arse” for answering your short question with a equally short Answer?
As for your Chairman quip, I feel you have Such a fertile imagination 😂

Does he know Sanchez is available?
The goalkeeper looks good but the lad from Bury scoring 17 goals in 327 games is not great

Listening to Adi after the defeat in FA Trophy said some none committed players have been identified and will be shipped out and replaced.

Main thing is we need a point at least Saturday and I am sure Paul Cox will want to rub our node in it.
