Scapegoat Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Given that there has been no official announcement from the Ripley camp, but a number of interested clubs (ourselves included), I'd imagine that all possibilities are still live at the moment. I suspect that we have an offer on the table with his agent and his club - and we have a backup plan also lined up in case that doesn't get taken up. I imagine that the view is that he should be able to get a guaranteed first choice at a 'bigger' club than Oldham and on better terms - but it also seems as though his Dad/Agent is clearly focused on what is the right option for him at this stage of his career - and that appears rightly to be playing regular football. If any of the clubs linked (Bristol / Sheffield United / Blackburn etc) give the word that he is first choice - then that's where he will go. If they don't, it might be that he still does end up back at BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackey Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I didn't don't vote; but where is it we've made it obvious we're desperate? We've time yet and any keeper coming in from the PL on loan will basically be free or close to it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Might be that Letheren starts the season and then x comes in at the end of the window. It's a bit odd though, can't believe it was planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsworthlatic Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Alan Nixon on twitter has said that 'a championship reserve keeper will trial for Oldham tonight' Just for the ones who won't take the bait, I will. Could it be Connor Ripley? ;) In all seriousness Alan also said that he is trialing for Oldham whilst we wait for a decent from the lad at Sunderland (or rather Sunderland's decision) Ahh I guess we'll see!

As someone else pointed out - if the number of clubs looking for a first choice keeper diminishes and there are still a number of players that want first team football then the law of economics works in out favour.

Gaz_Oafc Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Sky sources: Robbin Ruiter will fly into the north east tomorrow to undergo a medical with Sunderland. The Dutch goalkeeper, who has spent time on trial at The Stadium of Light this summer, will sign a two-year-deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky reporting (see Gaz) that Sunderland are getting a keeper imminently, wehich frees up a place hat would not be free. It depends on there being enough keepers freed up above us though.
