ghostofcecere Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I'm glad about this, I thought he was unlucky to be second choice to Bouzanis really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) If it turns out to be true I'm surprised. I really thought he wanted away. Maybe it was his relationship with Dickov, or unhappiness and Bouzanis being preferred. That said, I'm happy with him as our regular keeper. I think he's more than capable at this level and it's one more player we don't have to look for and integrate into the team. Would still be in the market for another keeper? Johnson said he wanted two players in every position and if Simpson is as good as he's made out to be perhaps he should be our number two keeper.

Given our new focus in youth, I'd be surprised to see another keeper rock up. And in truth I'd be happy with that - the money can be better spend elsewhere.

pinevillawill Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Happy with this if true - Cisak is top drawer on his day. Bit surprised Bouzanis is the one breaking the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marhar Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I hope this turns out to be true, my favourite keeper of recent years, deserved to get back in the team toward the end of last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say we're most likely to be still looking for a No 1 keeper. That Bouzanis was still being picked ahead of him at the end of last season, despite being readied for the exit door shows that he isn't regarded as a first choice but as a reasonably good option as back up.

razza699 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 So let me get this right.. A Senior Player has signed on and there hasn't been one OS article about it? Yet 2 yoofs who have never played get 2 articles?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Agreed. Cisak won't sign a contract to be a backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Jacob was reckoned to be half decent so the fact they let him go suggests they think Simpson is good enough to be in the first team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisbrogan Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Not a chance, if he is signing it will be to play as the number 1. So why wasn't he selected last season? What's changed with him to suddenly warrant a no 1 spot which he didn't a few weeks ago despite the then incumbent's indiscretions? Fair play if he feels he can fight for a spot but maybe it became clear that it was going to be a struggle to get fixed up elsewhere.

Fair play if he feels he can fight for a spot but maybe it became clear that it was going to be a struggle to get fixed up elsewhere. My take would be that Johnson, given the situation we were in, didn't want or didn't have the time to be tinkering with the team too much - Bouzanis was in possession and hadn't done too much wrong.

Matt Chambers @Matt_Chambers_2m Latest on Alex Cisak in today's paper. Contract extension doesn't necessarily mean he's stopping... #oafc Does this mean that we will get a fee for him then?

Crusoe Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 depends if he had any other offers on the table... I would be surprised at him being desperate to sign when it's only early June. Chambers' tweet is interesting. Of course I know no better than anyone else, but why would he sign an extension just to enable us to sell him in the next few weeks? What's in it for him?

4froale Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) seems strange that he has signed a new contract when he could be sold on straight away, you would of thought that he would of got himself a nicer signing on fee if he'd moved on a free.....im going to guess at a player swap Edited June 6, 2013 by 4froale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Ahh. Just got a reply from Mr Chambers. Seems the option in his contract was in the club's favour. So I guess if we meet whatever the terms are to exercise the option, he can't refuse it, we extend, and now anyone wanting him has to pay a fee. Makes more sense!

Im guessing Boozys tweet was more of a backhanded dig than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
