    Yes he was. He played 12 games at the back end of last season and most games this season building up his improvement in form. And in-between he had a summer pre season of coaching

    So I don’t understand what point you are trying to make

    Saw Ross Barkley sitting on the Chelsea bench.
    Should we be going after players like him? 28 years old and out of contract 2023.

    Harry Lewis has finally left Southampton, and is joining Bradford City.

    His contract is expiring and Alex’s isn’t. It was arguably a mistake to extend Alex’s contract but it was done under previous ownership where we would have been in a real sticky situation if we rolled into the summer with all our keepers leaving

    We should have probably realised that no one was going to offer McCarthy equal or better terms than what we were offering / what he wanted but it wasn’t a gamble we clearly felt we could make at the time. Who knows if he’d have got annoyed at being made to wait until april / May for an extension? Or if he’d thought we were desperate and demanded more last minute

    What I am saying it that, in my opinion, the decision to extend Alex’s contract is not as clear cut a mistake as implied

    I'm happy with McCarthy staying provided he's backup. I hope the keeper we sign is first team ready.

    I would expect many here agree with that. The rumours are all over the place with many suggesting otherwise. But some don’t. The recent link to the Polish guy with the crazy beard for example - he’d be first team ready. The guy who has been on loan at Portsmouth - not so much

    are we being played with. Active in the market without splashing the cash? Sit down at the end of the season and tell him there’s no new contract?

    those are weird statements, both.
