Hopefully part of a solid goalkeeping unit,something we all wish we'd had last time out.

Who was the last Welshman to play for us & don't say Brian.

David_Blunkett · 07/6/2024 4:30 pm

Levitt

AB played under Lazlo, was he not Welsh?

Only put the initials to avoid any unnecessary flashbacks for some who may have erased the fuckin idiot from their memory.

Asked a couple of Crewe fans on Twitter about him.

Wish I hadn't.

He was on their books for 9 years though so must have something about him. It's very likely he's been signed as back up so I'll only worry if we don't sign another keeper. Hopefully Jack Walton will be back, but if not I'm sure there are plenty of good options out there.

Ollie Denham was after Levitt

Wouldn't a couple of Luton fans have said the same thing about Jack Walton?
In fact I'm pretty sure they did.
Give the boy a chance, as things stand he's our #1 goalie.
Michael Cairney will not be scouting players off Twitter.

I thought it was maybe a trick question

Denham was English born but played for Wales, Levitt was born there.

Did I say he would be?

Boy will get a chance (of course). But the fact is the Crewe fans I spoke to were less than complimentary.

P.s. Walton has never played for Luton.

Richards is surely 100% a backup. In his interview he looked like he couldn't believe his luck to have signed for us.

He is most likely a backup keeper, but maybe he’s just a nice, pleasant guy and is excited and appreciative of the chance to play for our club. Not everything has to have this negative, backhanded slant to it.

Exactly JD.
Instead of 'welcome to DUFC and we the fans are looking forward to you fighting for the #1 shirt' it's 'don't you dare forget you're here as a backup & nothing more so remember your place'.
Negativity is pish.

TEK - it's not my fault Walton has never played for Luton's 1st team, the boys on Twitter maybe would have known him from his reserve team experiences.

Seen on another forum that the Macedonian winger is a 2 year deal with the option of an extra year.

Presumably be the back up so Newman can go on loan for the season
In his 30s and played under 100 games.

I hope to fuck he's the back-up and there is a better standard No.1 coming.

Few Airdrie fans I know have said their goalkeeper is coming to us. He missed the back end of the season due to concussion.

Signed for the fermers.

Very quiet on here.

While we wait for another signing or even a rumour, we used to get linked to some cracking players.

Josimar, John Robertson from Newcastle, Paul Lambert to name but a few.

I would loved to have signed Lambert from St Mirren, a very underrated player.

Aye,we used to spend daft money on players too though. We are pissing into much smaller puddles these days, but I'll be hoping for some mystery signings that turn out to be real gems all the same 🙏🤞

Not another blunder from down under though ffs!

I doubt we will hear much until after the Euro's now. That's not to say that deals won't have been made or contracts signed. I'm guessing the club will probably be waiting until after the tournament before making any announcements.

I hardly think we will be waiting that long,our season starts before the Euros finish. No chance we aren't doing anymore business before the middle of July.

Edit to add, if a deal is signed then why would we wait weeks to announce it? We won't be signing many players that will be involved anyway,certainly not involved in the latter stages.

I'm just guessing. I think that is how it's been previously.

Yeah,just can't see it tbh. Our season is absolutely priority and preseason starts soon,players need to be in and training. No way at all we can afford a month long hiatus
