Oh dear, this is exactly why many people from other countries probably think we are ignorant, arrogant dickheads. I don't really get the massive love in with Andersen when he was with us. Don't get me wrong he was a good keeper and a top bloke but Conrad Logan looked much better during his time with us. Agree totally, all other leagues are sh**, and therefore any player would be happy to leave them and come play for a third tier mid table team just to get out of that rubbish! As for Andersen himself, decent 'keeper, nothing amazing imo, I think it's just laziness from some people who think, well he played ok for us before, let's get him back, it's the same whenever anyone talks about any transfers, far too many people want us to go back to ex-players, a case of better the devil you know I suppose, but the fact is that there are quite a few players that haven't played for us that we should maybe consider. All good points except we aren't professional football scouts. The players we see are those playing for us, those playing against us (usually remembered as 'that tricky little winger who played for so and so') and those premiership players we see on Sky. So in reality it's not surprising we talk about a small pool of players because that is all we know. Personally I go for that little foreign central midfielder for Walsall.

Oztumer the Turkish Messi, he was released by the posh and we got James.

Danish players tend to be a bit streaky.
They say there are bad challenges in league one but I have seen rasher ones in Danish football.

Agree with most of what you say however I think Anderson was perhaps the exception to the rule,he I beleive more than capable in this league and far better than we have. but there are probably Sunday league keepers who would be better than what we have so that is not saying a lot!

I wonder whether it would be worth going for Bobby Olejnik at Exeter. Peterborough's player of the season in League One a couple of seasons ago and has been doing well at Exeter, but there looks to have been a falling out with the manager so could be available?

Oztumer the Turkish Messi, he was released by the posh and we got James. He looked a decent player against us as did Etheridge but Walsall are 3pts below in the league having only won once in the last 6 games, so they can't look that good every game.

Talking of Etheridge does anyone know what contract he is on? Other teams fans have said he has looked brilliant, he was great during his spell with us and apparently he was good against us earlier in the season? I seem a couple of saves from that match and that is more than I have seen from Roos alone!

He signed a two year contract in the summer of 2015, unless he's signed an extension I assume Walsall would take a small transfer fee now rather than see him walk away for nothing in the summer?

Interesting one that, he was highly rated at Peterborough in Championship and in League 1 - do you know why they eventually let him go? Since then he's only played in League 2 as far as I know, not sure if he had an injury or something but could be worth a look.

My mistake Danish Super leauge, 3rd behind the mighty Kopenhagen by 21 points. All I am saying is if we have aspersions of the Championship then Anderson did a job for us before and I beleive capable of doing it again. Of course we have aspirations of the Championship but at the same time we aren't going to be spending a couple of million on a keeper when he'll have about 15-20 options better than us.

Have said this last two seasons .Bobby is a great keeper ,marshals the back line and is a great shot stopper.My missus knows him personally and told him he should go to The Gas he would become a fans favourite instantly.......UTG
