According to the BBC, Moyes won't sell for less than 30 mill. Madness.

Based on what?
I agree with you. However, it's too much of a gamble at this point in time surely.

When does it not become a 'gamble' to use a young keeper?

Didn't Pickford only have one season of experience at championship level before becoming Sunderland's no.1?
I think if he'd had a good season in the championship then i'd be more comfortable. I'd like to see him on loan at a championship club next season.

This. Can't understand the mentality that seems to say if they're under 23 they should stay in the U23s until they actually are twenty three! Every player who has ever played in the PL will at one time have had no experience of playing in the PL. Obviously CH and his team see them in training and can get some idea of who is ready to step up - but that is inevitably always going to be a bit of a gamble; that's the nature of the beast.

Back up only because Stockdale was our number 1. He (Maenpaa) may not have a lot of games for us but I think he's a capable keeper.
We'll be fine if Stockdale goes-as somebody has already said: there are plenty of quality goalkeepers out there looking to play in the Premier League. And there's always Maenpaa.

To be fair, one of the loans was anything but rave reviews. Otherwise completely agree.

I'd like to see him with us next season as our third, or even second keeper and playing in the stiffs on every occasion possible. He will make mistakes without a doubt, but then all keepers do, some less than others, which makes the difference between good or average. However, unless we take the plunge we will never know.

Not from Moyes and Sunderland's point of view it isn't.
Feck me. [emoji23]
And you didn't rate Marshall..... [emoji2]
Adrian is a disaster waiting to happen every game. Would take Maennpa and Walton over him. I reckon Casper might even reconsider retirement [emoji6]

Not expensive enough.
Nor well-known enough.
As we move into the EPL, personnel have to be vetted first and foremost against these two standards.

No thanks. I don't care how good he is, most of us could not pronounce or type that.
Is it pronounced chay-nee, like Dick Cheney?

AB's ok but he is suspect at penalty saves.
He's 23 - that is potentially 10 years + at the top level - seems cheap!

The obvious one but he would be very expensive is Westwood. I wonder if they win the play offs would Huddersfield come in with an offer to DS.
