I really don't think Butland is a sensible option right now. Just seen scott loach is leaving Watford for ipswich. He was meant to be the next big thing and our future England no.1. If anything he would have been a great shout as we could have got him at a good price and taken a risk of re developing his talent to where he was expected to be. It's so hard to judge keepers. Butland could be the next big thing, or he could just be another good rated young keeper who ends up in league one like smithies and Lewis etc. better option is gordan or a keeper like loach.
John Ruddy is a good example of a keeper that can be picked up relatively cheaply, play in the lower leagues as well as the PL and still get an international call up.
Never rated loach, think he was badly over hyped. Whenever I saw him play he didn't command his box at all
My prediction of Gazza came true. Does this mean I can be the next Rocket and claim I have contacts everywhere and actually can predict everything. In fairness it was putting 2 and 2 together but it had to happen sooner or later!
Forecasts season long loan to be cancelled before the start of the season as they realise what we all already know. He's not really a goal keeper!!!!! Joking aside I wish the lad well
