..although you would question the point of a medical if your going to override the recommendations anyway Insurance? Pre existing condition?

Think my big take away from this all is that we need a second choice keeper who will be able to step up into League One football. More a 1.5 than a clear number 2. Can't afford to be relying on Savin to be number 1, with a back up who's not good enough - and has no experience - of EFL football Or an experienced number 1 with Savin bought in to gain fitness train on and compete for the number 1 position. I prefer you option we stayed up last season mainly due to marosi, personally I felt we should have kept him as he was worth it.

As others have said we have a history of taking a punt on a player who is not fit or has some injury the majority of them don't do well If he has failed a recent medical, we know he has a history of injuries and he did not play that much last season. It would be beyond stupid if he is going to be number one choice

Can we not get a promising up and coming goalie from the PL/championship like we did with Dean Henderson?
Surely that's not beyond our budget, limited as it is.

Possibly the Friday Marquis signing may have inflated expectations of what may yet be incoming to the squad, but if a keeper of similar pedigree was brought in plus a midfielder/winger. It would be a pretty decent squad.

Can't see many takers With Savins injury record in recent seasons a young PL keeper would get plenty of game time.

Many decent keepers without a club still?
I dreamt the possibility of a Marosi U-Turn but that's unlikely.
This is why I thought Micky Moore's statement of Savin being the no.1 target to be B/S - He likely won't even be ready for the start of the season.
Unless I interrupted what Moore meant by 'No.1'

It’s making the decision to let Burgoyne go, a very odd one. He was rubbish but if you’re choosing someone to potentially be a regular during Savin’s absences, and your options are unknown trialists then you may as well have stuck with Burgoyne..
On that basis, I’d say these on trial are just to make sure we have a goalkeeper for the friendlies and a loanee will arrive when their parent club is ready..

Agree on both points, It will be interesting if Burgoyne will be no.1 at Morecambe, he seemed to do well when called upon but with no real ambition to ever challenge Marosi for his spot.

Savin was offered a new contract by Accy so we would also be liable to pay them some compensation as he is under 24.

I'd imagine that we'll end up with a keeper on loan from a premier league academy and the trialists are merely filling a gap in the squad till loanees from the academies are green lighted.

Yes that's probably right, but the trialists have an opportunity to shine and get a contract if any are deemed to be good enough (by Hurst that is, not those commenting on B&A or Facebook 😀 )

Has had the no 1 jersey in two of their three pre season friendlies and was captain in their most recent game.

I hope so with the best will in the world we have a keeper who has failed a number of medicals and only played ten games last season. If he has somehow managed a full recover ,it will be an inspired signing, if he spends most of the season in the physio room not so much.
