    We all knew that we needed another keeper...so definitely need one now. SKD will do fine until end of the season. Get well, Fraser. :emoticon-0106-cryin

    Injury announced by the club now, damaged patellar tendon. Normal recovery timeframe 9-12 months. Les confirms KD now first choice.

    6 months is the usual recovery time, but you would think it would be closer to 9 months time before we see Fraser play again.

    Info I see says 6 months to heal. 9-12 before recovering patients meet rehab goals. It will probably be 9 months minimum.

    I expect Butland in some capacity this summer. Maybe the loan+option Les Read special.

    Exactly
    That's exactly what I was thinking. If we want to finish as high as possible then surely that's a option.

    well at least its not a CCL as already mentioned. Patella fracture sounds better but they can be tricky to treat. Is it surgical?

    Butland very recently signed a new contract. Doesn't stop a deal though.

    Yeah, I wouldn't expect him back in 2015.

    Could be a lot worse, though...kneecap fractures in sports often involve pretty catastrophic damage, and it doesn't sound as if Forster has suffered that.

    Good thing a goalkeeper was already on our shopping list for the summer. Butland does make a lot of sense though, he's young, English and Dave Watson is a big fan. Plus I'm sure he'd see us as a great move, Begovic is pretty entrenched at Stoke and he'd certainly get game time for a large part of next season here. He has always been fairly forthright about wanting opportunity over fame and finance so he'd be a good fit.

    That ain't a bad suggestion. He wants to play more games and Jose, knowing he couldn't play against Chelsea but could play well against City, Arsenal and United, may well see it as a good tactical move. I'm pretty sure he doesn't see Saints as a threat to the title.

    PL clubs can't loan players outside the transfer windows unless it's an emergency (i.e. no fit first team keepers)

    I still think it will be two keepers coming in during the summer. One on loan and another brought in. I don't know if Davis will be playing next year.
