He’ll probably backtrack and say it was something to do with ABBA and work related when it doesn’t happen.

Looks like he could be a good signing if it comes to fruition but Christ some of the comments here about Collins are mind blowing.

I’d say the last ~5 games of the season he had a bad spell but he’s nowhere near as bad as people make out.

He was dreadful for the most part. Most saves not convincing, doesn’t command his box, flaps at crosses. Wasn’t even that good with his feet, which was supposed to be one of his strengths.

incredibly reactionary take based on his poor end to the season

He's better than Wilson and up until Robins dropped him for no reason he was fine. He was truly awful at the end of the season mind and it would be good if we could bring someone in to knock him down to number 2. A young Swedish international will do me.

Nothing to do with the end of the season. He was not convincing throughout.

Collins can’t catch a cold! Fair enough he makes saves but it makes me question the gk coach if he is telling our keepers to parry the ball away rather than keeping hold of it.

Dawkins seems to think Wilson will be staying even with Dovin signing. Very strange…

Oh lord... please let Dovin be good/not injured. Another season falling back on Wilson really is not the one.

I think its just a case of no interest in him at the moment.

Pretty sure that will change when Dovin signs and he realises he won't get a sniff

Seems like its progressed really quickly and swedish media already reporting that Hammarby are actively exploring replacements. Whats the likelihood that this gets announced this week?

Yeah exactly, we really need to get past the days of relying on keepers like Wilson, on occasion he pulls off a great save but the rest of the time it’s calamitous between keeper and defence.

Aftonbladet is the biggest tabloid in Sweden. Safe to say this has legs.

I am not a massive fan of either of our keepers. Although this feeling we are definitely looking to sign a keeper is a bit fan driven?

I think any football club will sign anybody better than they have got if the right deal came up.

But has the club (apart from fans) indicated they are looking to sign a keeper as a key priority?

Oliver Dovin has been Hammarby's first goalkeeper for a long time now and this season he has been one of the top goalkeepers in the Allsvenskan. Even though he is only 21 years old, he has already managed two A international matches, eight U21 international matches and also played in 84 games for Hammarby.

Last week, Tuttosvenskan stated that Dovin could be on his way out this summer as a number of clubs followed the Swede and were prepared to make an offer.
But that negotiations were taking place was then denied by track manager Mikael Hjelmberg.

According to Sportbladet's information, however, it is Coventry City in the English Championship who are looking for Dovin and have him as their top priority in this window.
The club should be well aware of the price tag as well and is expected to contact Hammarby shortly.

They also hope to complete a deal in the next few weeks and there are many indications that Coventry will be Dovin's next club, although nothing is finalized or agreed yet.

I'd say the reports from Sweden saying we're going to sign a keeper would suggest we're probably looking to sign a keeper.

Good, we need better if we’re going for promotion, and not just in shot stopping but also clarity and leadership at the back, it’s a real mess at times.
