One of them will go on loan for a year somewhere with a recall option. We dont know if either were told this already. If Rushworth has a sale clause for us and we are getting someone of that quality in next year it will be excellent planning to have 3 top quality keepers lined up for 2025/26 and if not we will still have two very good keepers with a year under their belts at the club. Looks like we are planning for the future, something we have not done for a long time properly. There is no way we have brought in two keepers and then suddenly decided to bring in a third because we dont like the others. Tim clearly just feels one of them is not ready yet and we have been able to secure the best Keeper outside of the Premier League for ourselves to aid the promotion push.
Frank Cannon - those of a certain vintage will remember him from 9pm on Saturday nights on BBC 1. Was around the same time as Kojak, Starsky & Hutch, etc.
Well his first touch seems decent from what I've seen, so that's already a step up from at least one of them. His all-round game is excellent.
I implied nothing of the sort, I was simply correcting the claim that 'in the middle of their reign Assem Allam died'.
Maybe, it would have been some achievement wouldn't it? AA was seriously ill during his last years with City, and I'll leave it at that......and go and get my coat.
Especially after Pandur's very competent performance on Saturday he seemed more confident and assured making saves and dealing with crosses into the box hardly going to boost his confidence bringing another keeper in on loan at this stage.
I agree with you, in that focusing on just where players fit into an 11 is just daft. We need squad depth 100%, perhaps more so with Walters frantic style (as we've been lead to believe). I even agree that there nothing wrong with having 3 decent keepers on the books. Why not. What I don't like is loaning a 3rd keeper with a clause that says we need to pay a hefty fee if he doesn't play. However, TWT I'm in for the ride.
I suppose when you explain it like that... Were all the other Clubs competing to get out of the League,the same in terms of playing with no pressure,or did we have exclusive rights?
