    Depends on his attitude.
    I've no idea why he hasn't been involved in our squads already.
    I know he wanted to leave and we were happy for him to do so, but still.
    We were all aware that the right option may not turn up.

    One of Hugo, Dier or Sessegnon are very lucky in my eyes as Lyons-Foster could’ve had a spot in their place. Out of respect for Hugo I’m happy to have him as part of the squad if he’s happy to be here but the other two… let’s just say not so much.

    Three of the HG roster are GK.
    Two of which AFAIK have never been in the
    starting XI for a competitive season game.

    Vicario talked him up a week or so ago for being a great mentor in training

    TBH so many clubs use their second or third-choice keeper as a free HG spot now

    Scott Carson at The Sheikh Mansour Team
    Caoimhin Kelleher at Saltypool
    Tom Heaton at Man Utd
    Marcus Bettinelli at Chelsea
    Jason Steele at Brighton

    All of them, barring Kelleher, have played hundreds of games, though.
    Heaton played 200 for Burnley alone, for example. I think he counts as CG, too.

    Kelleher's played less league games than Whiteman

    ...true, Whiteman's were in the AllSvenskan, but given Saltypool expect £20m+ for somebody with a handful of Season Killer Cup games we really should think of ways to inflate the price of our youngsters

    Five GKs in the senior squad.

    It's a complete nonsense.

    The failure to get enough academy players through who would fill those HG spots is the issue

    This is clearly true, but we'd also be ok if a couple of them were out on loan.

    It wouldn't surprise me if a few more U21s were loaned in January

    Yago Santiago is the obvious one

    On the subject of our HG numbers, looks like we've Football Managered it

    I reckon the histograms by year will be mirror images
    of each other (with the pts lost per season in the
    early days being highest) .

    Goal of the Month choices for September:


    Matip controversially omitted. Liverpool are going to appeal, I'm sure.

    Replay the game until he scores a goal that wins the competition ??
