TRANSFER: Goalkeeper Reice Charles-Cook has agreed a transfer to Swindon Town

Strange, unless they are selling their keeper. He is highly rated so RCC would be on the bench.

Swindon signed him on 2 year deal. So not loan as I think CT speculated earlier.

The talented stopper arrives on a permanent transfer from Coventry City and has put pen to paper on a two-year deal, subject to EFL and FA approval.

I thought it was odd that we kept two and signed another keeper. They must've had some idea that one of them would be going for cash.

Credit to Swindon for the straightforward signing announcement accompanied by photo of player holding up scarf. The classics are still the best.

Seems like a nice bloke. Thought he'd eventually do well here, not to be.

Not really bothered, third choice. Good shot stopper but terrible command of his area, distribution and consistency. (Don't we have another two like that?)

I liked him, despite shitting it every time we tried to be fancy and play the ball around at the back which he seemed to be ringleader of.

Not convinced we've got rid of the right one but good luck to him. No good him sitting here not even getting a game in the reserves.

I'd rather they'd signed Burge. RCC is the better keeper for me.

Would have much preferred that other tosspot Burge to have fucked off, but I doubt anyone would be stupid enough to look at the dopey twonk as a viable option. Still the only Robins (re)signing that has raised my eyebrows this Summer, when we finally had the opportunity to get rid.

Good luck anyway RCC. Here's hoping O'Brien comes good!

Good luck RCC. Started well for us but failed to live up to that expectation. He seemed to lose confidence after a few errors and performances dipped. I liked his quick distribution although it backfired a few times. I think he will make a decent keeper away from the Ricoh.

Can't say I'm particularly bothered or surprised by this. The jury seemed to be out every two weeks over the past two seasons and the 'emergence' of a third keeper has so far done little to change that situation.
Dread to think how few peanuts we received for this sale.

Imagine RCC in goal against Oxford for the final, we would of came away losers! He's shit. Just my opinion of course.

Would question the distribution part. RCC's was excellent in my view.

Genuine question: What does 'command of area' mean? I saw on a thread about Oggy somebody said he was great at commanding his area but poor on crosses. I always thought they were near enough the same thing.

Still rated him the most out of the 3 we had. Oh well.

We wouldn't have got to the final without him though. Had a blinder in the quarter final.

Seems we did get some sort of fee for RCC. Listed as 'undisclosed on BBC site.

If only there was enough time to offload Burge as well, and bring in an experienced keeper.

He's better than burge but was clearly considered surplus to requirements by the management
