Mystery Goalkeeper - Part Deux

The latest set of pre-season training photos includes a couple of views of a young goalkeeper; I don't think it's Henry Newcombe, so does anyone recognise him/have any idea who he might be?

  • The Strange Case of Henry Newcombe: the keeper that never was.
    Spotted that, does look a bit like Newcombe, his (non) return having never been with us in the first place wouldn’t be a surprise.

  • It can't be Henry unless he has been released by Margate already.

  • I doubt Margate would object to him sometimes training with Wycombe instead, given the better quality of coaching and players.

  • I’ll say with relative confidence that’s not Newcombe.

  • That's Yves Ma-Kalambay

  • No Bayo in any of those photos.

  • Bayo is currently doing a lot of World Cup related filming for various ad campaigns.

  • Looks like A Trialist to me.

  • In the sixth picture there's three people involved in a GK drill, none of whom are Yves.

    I don't Bayo participated much at all in pre-season last year, i'd imagine part of the reason he's so happy here is because we've found a way to help him pursue his other interests that doesn't seem to detract from his performance.

  • Judging by his ‘instastory’ (I think I used that correctly) he’s certainly putting in the hard graft somewhere. Some pretty intense cardio drills being showcased.

  • Hope he’s not the titular mystery goalkeeper. (Excuse my French.)

  • Eponymous might have been better. Think I’d better go back to bed.

  • @BlueBoy can you post a link pls

  • @NorsQuarters No, sorry. They are temporary videos that last 24 hours. You can see his pictures here though:

    It looks to me that he’s in North America somewhere. I know he was in Canada during part of the summer break.

  • Something tells me, whatever he is up to in the summer, the Bayo that starts the first game will be as fit as the Bayo who started the last game!

  • Oh dear, he was really struggling with that niggling injury (and overworked exhaustion). Perhaps you were being ironic @Wendoverman. Not like you!

  • @micra perhaps I should have said as fit as the Bayo that started the first game of last season. Not belittling his struggle at all...just that I'm not overly worried about the fact that he's not back and training with the others just yet.

  • I wonder how many days a week he actually trains with the gang in a normal week.
    The majority of his training must surely be weights, which he could do anywhere.

  • "the majority of his training must surely be weights"

    You do realise he's a professional footballer don't you? If he didn't do sufficient cardio vascular conditioning he'd be carted off on an oxygen mask within 10 minutes

  • Not sure if you've noticed, but he's a little different to most footballers.
    There's not many that half the crowd could outrun!

    He can do most of that on a treadmill which all gyms have.
