He’s a pretty good keeper, West Brom fans will be pleased.

Rumour has it that he was a bit of a stud but even if he does play fasten and loose, it shouldn't affect our opinion of him. He is well rounded and we shouldn't be picking holes in him for the purpose of this thread. I hope he can tie up a deal and his career mushrooms from here.

I would not be at all surprised to see Walton displace Ryan, he has the quality.

Average Championship keeper to replace Australian International keeper. Hmm, I'd certainly be surprised.
"Australian international keeper" really says very little as they have plenty of international footballlers who wouldnt get a minute of play in the PL or even the Championship.
That said I agree the average Championship keeper is very unlikely to replace the pretty good PL keeper.

For all the hype and grandeur surrounding Walton he is still a considerable distance from the level of Ryan.
Made a number of errors for Blackburn and Wigan in the Champ.

Ryan has not been without errors, not coming for balls he should have and vice versa. For me, I look at a number of the goals Ryan has let in recently and think, "Walton would have got to that". I think Potter will give him a fair chance and I think he is capable of taking it.

Yeh, I think Walton has to convince GP that he can securely play a pass into midfield or out to the touchline, I think it's less about whether he'll make errors or not

Ryan has made mistakes correct.
But far less mistakes than Walton, in a far higher standard.
The days of Walton getting rave reviews whilst on loan are over and Blackburn have certainly not been raving about him.
This was the review of his season by the local paper
The on-loan goalkeeper improved at the turn of the year as Rovers conceded six in nine matches, but Walton's weaknesses were exposed following the recommencement of the campaign and his hesitancy, positioning and organisation came under scrutiny following mistakes against Bristol City, Wigan Athletic and Cardiff City - 5
Good. Very ordinary, not as good as his predecessors IMO.

Oh well, let's go with £400k and mugged the Baggies.
Perhaps it was £400k rising to £4m with productivity clauses...
...So £400k

This is why I don't understand the constant harping on about Walton on here. Admittedly l haven't seen him often, mainly for England and a decent performance against Spurs, but he's never convinced me at all. Seems a very nervy keeper. I hope I'm wrong.
