    Just read this on HDM site.

    Duke is really needed back here with what is happening with GK's at the minute, with Mannone injured again & Guzan going back in April.

    Not seen Leacock play anyone have any info on the guy.

    Although i am sure we wouldnt even be looking at him if he didnt fit the bill somewhere along the line.

    Can't be that good if Derby let him go.

    Seen bits and pieces of Leacock on TV. Doesn't look as confident as he used too, after Derby's ordeal in the Premier League, and think he's prone to the odd error. Don't know if there's much in this story as we're led to believe Rosenior will only miss 2 or 3 games. Also, who out of our current loan players would drop out of the match day squad to make way for Leacock?

    If we're recalling Duke as well, Guzan.

    I'd rather see us recall Cooper for cover, and play Chester at right back than get Leacock - that way we wouldn't have to drop any loan players.

    Plus Rosenior is only out for three weeks - including the international break, so surely Chester or Nobby can do a job for a little while?

    I'll wait till the Club gives out any news! The Fail is either wrong with it's Breaking News stories, or, behind fans with putting news out!

    We need a new keeper in the summer jesus, Guzan does not communicate and Duke is at best a good number two at this level. Mannone will not join us from Arsenal, it&#8217;s just a bit unrealistic to believe he will. We should look at Westwood from Coventry or Joe Lewis or even force West Broms hand for Carson or Myhilll back. I think we should also wait and see who get relegated as there will be some good keepers going down.

    I don't think Guzan is a bad keeper to have as back up although he did have a bit of the Tony Warners going on at weekend <laugh>

    IMO Mannone is more realistic than the targets you have listed

    You really think that Westwood, who is probably the best keeper outside the top flight and is wanted by a number of Premier League clubs, is going to join? And Carson definitely isn't going to be leaving them for a Championship club is he. If they stay up, he'll remain there to see out his contract at the most testing and competitive level in the country. If they go down, he'll either go to another team in the 1st Division or the Baggies will want to keep him to help them win promotion. As for Myhill, he's just as good and is a more than adequate back-up, and there are very few keepers of his ability who would be willing to sit on the bench, so I highly doubt they'd let him go either.
