Waghorn?

There is of course a problem with the goalie situation.

If we buy a goalkeeper, a happy dressing room it won't make if we then sign a Prem Goalie on loan that starts every week. Also, if we sign a loan goalie from the Prem, the parent Club will want him to play week-in-week-out (like Mannone, Stockdale and Forster for example). So what to do?
Signing two loan goalies won't work for the same reason as above and signing two quality goalies permanently would be expensive.

This is why I questioned the goodbye to Matt Duke. There we had a good Championship back-up goalie who was satisfied with a bit-part in role in the first team. I f we had kept him we could easily have offered Fulham a full season in the first team for Stockdale.

Difficult situation, now.

Is that bit guessing or do you know, Id imagine that Duke wanted first team action hes spent enough time on the bench

I think Matt Duke went because Pearson thought he wasn't good enough, I don't think there was anything more to it than that.

He's getting rid of the players he doesn't think are good enough(or are costing us too much) and replacing them with better options. If it was simply a case of getting rid of the old guard, he wouldn't have offered Garcia a new deal and Dawson would probably be on his way.

Guzan was happy enough to come in as No.2, he still wanted to come back for next season, when presumably he'd know there was a decent chance he'd be No.2 again. I think we need to wait and see who comes in before deciding if it was a good move or not.
