Livingston Max Stryjek looks set to join Wycombe Wanderers, writes Scott Burns.
The English League One have been given permission to talk to the Polish keeper.
The 26-year-old is now travelling south for a medical with the Adams Park club.
Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth has been searching for an experienced No. 1 to come in and fight it out with youngsters Tyler Dickinson and Josh Blunkell.
Stryjek is now set to depart Livi after a two year spell.
The Polish keeper arrived from Eastleigh and has been pretty much David Martindale’s No. 1.
Livi have been planning for Stryjek leaving this summer and moved to sign Shamal George from Colchester.
Stryjek has previously been at Sunderland and is known to be keen to return to England.
No games above non-league level in England - I imagine a short term loan until Man Utd realise that having Bishop on their books won’t save their season.
We’ve obviously waited this long for Bishop so if it meant waiting until the end of August to get him I think we should hold fast on that one now. Otherwise we’ve waited essentially for no reason. But we would have to know for sure it was going to happen.
Lets be honest, Stryjek is a worry purely because none of us know anything at all about him and it feels a bit second choice/panic buy. In reality he could be a better keeper right now than Bishop, who knows!
Watched 3 minutes of the nine. Outstanding reflexes (and the ball bounces a long way off him) but didn’t see him in a crowded box at a set piece, the situation that has mostly been the undoing of Tyla Dickinson and his defence.
Any evidence of his ability in that respect later in the showreel?
I’ve seen a few comments from fans who stated they would be underwhelmed by the signing of this keeper, based on stats they may have seen online.
It’s worth remembering that a) stats do not tell the whole story, b) stats can be manipulated and c) overall statistics such as clean sheets are not just down to the keeper, or even just the defence, but the entire team.
I can’t say I’ve heard of him before but then, not many of us had heard of Mawson or Eze until they signed for us.
In terms of signing ‘bigger’ names, let’s not forget the likes of Harper and Lennon who were largely underwhelming.
Whoever we sign to play in goal, I’m pretty certain it will be someone who we’ve kept tabs on and even if they turn out to be an ‘unknown’, we should trust our management team.
I think the level of expectation of level of goalkeeper that Wycombe will get in the short term is utterly ridiculous. When people say that Stockdale has not been replaced, which Stockdale are they talking about? Do they mean the one that signed at Wycombe, overweight, and both physically and mentally unfit for first team football, or the one that left as Golden Glove winner?
At best Wycombe will sign somebody elses No.2, but far more likely a keeper that is out of favour, young and inexperienced, from a lower level, or not playing regularly. What Wycombe will not get is the first choice keeper from any league 1 or higher club. Whoever is to be the Wycombe No. 1 goalkeeper this season, it will take time for them to settle and get up to speed.

I've lost count of the number of mornings i've expected to wake up to new goalkeeper news now. We must be in double figures
Looks like we might have a new target...

looks to have good pedigree and good age
Sent off in his only game this season (not for timewasting)...

By all accounts it looks like that was his only game this season as they've been preparing for him to leave.
Is it possible for admin to rename this thread?
Livingstone goalkeeper!

Only 8 to go to 1000 posts. Will something happen to avoid getting there?
Maybe Bishop will be in the Man U first team next game up.
Maybe some kind of random name generator would do the job
How about 'Life, The Universe and Goalkeepers'?
If I tried to include all the subjects covered in this thread we’d hit a character limit.
Am I the 1000th?
Oh
I am now
Gareth says we'll have a new keeper for Barnsley. I'm going for Bishop on a 3 year deal.
It's Max Stryjek from Livingston, who doesn't sound like the most 'Wycombe' signing.

It’s good to see the saves he’s made but the goals he’s conceded would be the more telling video, that’s a true indicator of what to expect.
If Bishop ever does sign for us can you organise a party please @drcongo? We can all dress up in bishop garb and drink Bishop's Finger ale

Not really - there is one claim and quick throw out which was good but not under much pressure
parsons out on loan, new player incoming?

Max Stryjek sounds like a futuristic space pilot, so I am quietly confident.
The Boeing 737 Max hasn't exactly inspired confidence. Just saying.🙄
It’s about time for a havewycombesignedakeeperyet Twitter account isn’t it?
