Correct. 2nd choice keeper needs to be good enough to start in that period.

I'd prefer Jack Russels.

Odd one, would Brighton want to spend relatively big money on, I assume, a backup keeper? Would Carson want to be a bench warmer?
That said, it's Nixon so likely to be horse dung.

Followed him last season at Birmingham and spotted at their training ground.. Currently relegated to their u-23's. If you needed to park the bus he looks in perfect physical shape for the role.

In fairness we need competition for all places, (Steele is probably no 3 choice) and with Ryan away in Jan a top keeper will be essential.

Has not set world alight and transfer to Leeds floundering due to wage issues apparently..

I see a lot of boot quaking ( not too much on NSC ) that Carson would be a replacement for Ryan.
Think it through though.
1) If our 1st choice keeper left, we'd be looking at a non-HGP replacement.
2) In the small chance that wasn't the case, Tim Krul would have already re-signed.
This is a signing to replace Krul, for sure.

Well yes and i've no idea if Carson is actually a target, but then, on this basis, no Premier League club would have anything other than 1 keeper in their squad.
Its a gamble but experienced keepers tend to come for the ££ , and are prepared to gamble for the chance to fight for a place and game time. (injuries/loss of form) . Not forever (see Tim Krul) but plenty do it.

Also rumour doing rounds that Liverpool in for Maty Ryan. Not sure how this took off, no tabloid sources for it.
Anyway Mirror are reporting this morning, perhaps surprisingly, that Klopp is no longer looking to replace Karius and aren't interested, for now, in a new GK.

The rumour came from someone guessing, and it snowballed to become established factoid.

Also on Twitter, West Ham are interested in Maty.
Sell him for £40 million, get in either, Butland, Pope, or Heaton.
Job done

on Twitter its actually this rather fanciful account that seems to have kicked off that particular one. Does it look reliable to you ?

Well, he’s got more followers than me, but, I rarely believe anything on twitter about transfers, especially concerning us.

Understoood, I think that's a bit of an awkward one for Brighton, how do you replace a keeper for 1 month?
Yeah, but Tim Krul wasn't in the side at Newcastle was he? Tricky one though, you obviously do need cover for Ryan. Lee Grant would have been a great choice!

Why did you repeat it on here then ?
The Liverpool rumour potentially started in 2015. Nothing since though...

Because I’m bored, because I didn’t realise all rumours had to be verified by independent sources, because it may have a grain of truth in it, no matter how unlikely that seems, because this is an Albion forum and the tweet related to us.
Chose any of the above.
