I think Addai has just been given a new contractMy guess would be get shot of Addai bring in a development keeper and an experienced one so they can learn off one another
Glad old flappy has now gone like the rest of us-did wonder at the time if we had let the wrong one go (in RCC) and would have been interesting to see if he may have matured during the last 3-4 seasons.
I guess not as the last I heard he was at Shrewsbury? Probably the same level then as Burge will be at next season.

We haveJust activated his year option haven’t we?
I guess he has some maverick qualities which would make him very interesting if he was doing the basics solidly too. To give him another year, on the wages he must be on, to see if he can mature and iron out the mistakes is pretty low risk if it isn't inhibiting the development of an U18 keeper.We have
He's in the last chance saloon now

Burge was unfairly treated by the large majority on here. He made mistakes but when you watch the league one goals, the standard of keeping is shocking throughout this level.
I don’t think we’ll get anyone vastly better than Burge tbh but we’ll see in a few weeks.
I was genuinely embarrassed to be a city fan when we ironically cheered him catching a ball after making a mistake then we wonder why he looks nervous coming for crosses etc.. good luck to him elsewhere.
He didnt get offered one.Did you politely clap when he came flapping for crosses, did you stand up and cheer when he cleared the ball straight to opposition strikers and did you shake his hand for not signing a new contract?
Joe Day for Newport has looked really good during their two play off games against Mansfield and during their entire FA Cup run. Maybe we wouldn't want to dip back into League Two for a young keeper but he seems impressive...
so was lee burge !He's not that young, isn't he about 28? One of the better goalkeepers at League Two level though.

Point 1) I dont think he was harshly treated on here. He made way too many errors, can't claim a cross and has worse distribution than I.Burge was unfairly treated by the large majority on here.

Bollocks did he... we conceded less goals than Donny and P'boro last season but couldnt score more than the likes of Plymouth... Putting away chances was last seasons main issue.Burge had a good spell earlier in the season - but xmas onwards was the worst i have seen of any city keeper and cost us the play offs without doubt, through basic errors, that I would expect an U18 keeper not to make

Ah didn't realise he was quite that old. Had him down as 24 or so. I think if we're going up to the late 20's perhaps a more experienced keeper is needed, preferably one with experience of the higher leagues. It's a tough one.He's not that young, isn't he about 28?

Point 2) If this is true, it is a major concern for us
Point 3) I do however agree with this. It wasn't on, it benefitted noone and it wouldn't have done the lads confidence any good. I think people should be able to give their opinions on players etc but to humiliate your own player wasn't on in my book.
I hold no ill feeling towards him, but it is right for both parties that he has moved on. We need someone better.
This is one of the more bizzare posts I’ve ever seen on here (and that’s saying something). Why would I cheer when he cleared the ball to an opposition striker?
Out of interest, who would you replace Burge with?
