TSL

He may be signing for Bolton but it’s not official yet on twitter sites yes but not on Boltons official site so we wait and see.

He’s away on international duty, so won’t have signed

Exactly right Filo, the deal is done at Bolton but can’t/wont be confirmed until he’s back from the international tournament next week.

Ok I accept that is the case by the way it’s over 2 weeks if England get to the final.

The new goal keeper will sign before grant takes a short break and he had a eight smile on his face when he said as much

Wouldn’t surprise me if McCann had already done the interview welcoming the goalkeeper at that point.

Maybe at the Sherwood forest Center Parcs? A short journey from the Eco power!

Nope, he's not here.

f**king hell that link is awful - it’s almost impossible to read the article on my phone, it’s worse than the DFP site.!

Bit of copy and paste

Goalkeeper Timothee Lo-Tutala is wanted by Doncaster Rovers once again. The South Yorkshire club are looking to bolster their ranks after Grant McCann guided them to promotion. His exit would see City bring in further cover to their ranks.

Teddy Sharman-Lowe impressed at Rovers last season on loan from Chelsea, but he's linked up with Simons at Bolton ahead of the new campaign, and McCann is keen to add to his goalkeeping unit.

Lo-Tutala has been at the Eco-Power Stadium previously and is understood to be close to confirming a season-long loan move back to Rovers.

[IDM]

Thank you

[Ryaldinhio]

Would prefer a permenant but would take him on loan.

Hopefully with an option to buy.

Whichever way I would love to see him back here.

[Chris Black come back]

He’s still only 22 and is contracted until 2028. Not had much of a chance at Hull but his youth and length of contract does feel a bit like we are developing him for them, rather than looking to eventually move. If he has the good season with us that we all want, they aren’t going to let him go.

[Ian Nimmo]

However at the end of the season we could be in the championship and hull could be in L1!
Because of the way he has been treated at hull, he’s unproven at L1 level, from his time with us we could see he was one of best keepers in L2. Think we have seen enough to be confident he will be a good keeper this season, but another factor his his heart seems to be us, he’s always posting in his rovers kit. Surely if we have a reasonable season we will have
 A good chance of making him our permanent keeper.
Welcome home Timmy.

[Chris Black come back]

He played 18 games for us and his entire career is less than 30 games. He is a young keeper and Hull put him on a long contract because keepers mature differently to outfield players and because they can see something in him. I like him and he will be a great signing but he’s going to be relatively expensive for us. There are a range of positive outcomes from next season. Us ending up in the Championship is entirely possible but not one of the more likely. Hull remaining at that level is relatively far more likely.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Yes it would be nice to get a permanent long term deal for a young keeper. But that's quite hard to do in modern football and for us right now probably not feasible.

You can take on development centre halves but that's very difficult to do with goalkeepers and our focus with that position should be the next season and not much further.

Rank our recent goalkeepers permanent Vs loan and it tells a story for me.

[Frankie Rennie]

England players back home tomorrow Steve before playing Germany on Wednesday and TSL is expected to sign up at Bolton then. The deals been agreed by all accounts and now just needs the formalities completing. I’m disappointed that he didn’t get a chance to play in the two games but to be fair Beadles been excellent. TLT sounds a good alternative for you though.

TLT is probably the smarter choice of the two for us.

TLT the better shot stopper and commands his area better but prone to a mad 30 seconds. Crowd favourite and charismatic.

TSL very calm but lacks authority of his area, excellent distribution and looks like a penalty save expert. Not great at getting down quickly either side of him with shots from inside the 18 yard box.

Both have huge careers in front of them.

Penalty save expert????? Really? You weren't watching the same penalties as me then.

Agree they will both do well.

TLT over TSL for me in the next few years but expect TSL to go further.

[Move DRFC]

Made huge penalty saves in high pressure situations against Hull and Bradford. I’d say that’s pretty good going.

Important saves doesnt make him an expert , both poor penalties.

[IDM]

That’s very subjective.

They’re good penalties if the keeper guesses incorrectly.  You see countless penalties scored when the keeper goes the other way.

A good penalty isn't going to be saved whatever the keeper does. A shearer penalty, or Harry Maguires for England in last shoot out.

The Bradford one was, as they say, a good height for the keeper. The Hull one was terrible. Agree that both were on target and had to be saved and I'm not taking away from that. I'm just noting it doesn't make Teddy a penalty save expert as stated on previous post that's all.

[Bentley Bullet]

Marquis was the worst penalty taker. Keepers often sent him the wrong way.

That literally made me snort my tea up my nostrils!! Thanks BB, I needed that sort of laugh out loud moment on a Monday morning full of TEAMS meetings!! 

[BobG]

Oh Christ...TEAMS. The worst app. Often indicative of poor organisational structure and management too.

Ted on Instagram:

“What a year, what a club

I want to start off with a massive thank you to the gaffer, Kyle and all the staff for giving me the opportunity to play for this great club over 50 times.

To my team mates, the memories you've all help to create will stick with me forever. I've made mates for life, and can't thank everyone enough for making it such a good dressing room to be a part of.

Finally the fans. Thank you for welcoming me into your club. The support throughout the whole season was unreal. Home and away, through the ups and downs, It's been a pleasure to play in front of you and it was an amazing experience to lift the trophy with you all there!

That day we secured promotion is a day I'll never forget. From the penalty, to having you all on the pitch, through to singing in the Sal. So many amazing moments!

Thank you once again to everyone associated with the club, and I'll always have the best memories of my time at Rovers.”

Top man. Wish him all the best. In terms of his kicking and coming off his line he’s probably the best keeper I've seen at that at Rovers.
