[Albion] Goalkeeper situation

[B-right-on]

With Sanchez doing a Trossard and throwing his gloves out of the pram which looks to me he's a gonner in the summer, we're going to need a backup for Steele.

Tom McGills got no PL experience, 23 yrs old and contract ends in June. I assume he'll sign a new contract but be 3rd choice?

I'd feel happier if we brought in another keeper that can play RDZball and has a bit of top flight experience to push Steeley (who has been very good)

Sanchez’s childish toys out of the pram, so early, is a blessing.

We’ll buy a quality first or second choice keeper. The two young players will remain understudies.

A Liverpool-supporting friend of mine seems pretty sure we're getting Kelleher. Personally I'm filing that under "believe it when I see it", but he could, as they say, "do a job".

I assumed Giant Dutch Lad would be next season's #2.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Unless the “giant Dutch lad” has come on a pace in his loan out, signing a keeper and getting rid of Sanchez is a priority. You can’t have a keeper that gets a strop if he is dropped, it happens to them all at some time. There are plenty of decent ones in the league

Yep hope you are proved right.

Judging by Kelleher's performance against Saints. I'd say he failed the audition! File under 'dear God, I hope not!'

A bit harsh, Matip and Gomez were playing in their flip-flops and gave him zero protection.

Far from convincing (accepting it was a single game)

I was going to say the same. He was far too easily beaten for first two goals in particular; even Shearer commented that he should be doing better.

I hope we get a new first-choice keeper. Whilst Steele is very good at playing out, he doesn’t fill me with confidence on the goalkeeping side of things.

They were on the beach, to be fair.

Isn't GK2 a case for HGP as likely only to play in cups. Where are we with HGPs?

 

[Lurchy]

From De Zerbi’s comments the other day about wanting to help Steele get an England call up it sounds like there’s no rush to get another keeper in…

But if we were planning to anytime soon then one goalkeeper we should be tracking is Yehvann Diouf - he’s exactly the type that RDZ would want.
