Eastwood is a prospect a full season in L1 will do him no harm
A lot better than fucking about in the U23s

 

[mancunianblade]

Good move all round if true

 

[Tunstall Fred]

Excellent news, will speed his development up no end, good prospect is Jake

 

[Original United]

Surely this means that signing a new keeper is a done deal. Do this also mean Moore will be staying otherwise we would then have to sign 3 keepers.

 

[Ricky]

That means we're signing 2 keepers then - at least.

 

[Nelson1889]

Dewhurst as 3rd keeper maybe? Risky but then Eastwood never got near a start last season and he'd be training with the first team more regularly whilst being first choice for u23's

Could be, given how unlikely it is that third keepers play, maybe at the age Eastwood is they've just decided he needs some proper football and they're willing to risk Dewhurst on the bench if need be.

 

[1889]

I think they’ll be looking to sign an experienced keeper to be number three.

Incidentally, Eastwood’s a pig fan ........who knew

Players aged under 21 don't have to be registered as part of the 25 man squad so do we sign a 3rd keeper who's unlikely to see any minutes or keep that squad place free for an outfield player who will play by using Dewhurst

 

[LoughboroBlade]

I think we’ll be signing an experienced 3rd choice in that case, as Wilder’s already said we’ll have three as part of the 25. Not last year’s triallist Luke Steele, but someone like Luke Steele.

Or Luke Steele...

Given our propensity for a misspelled player surname, Luke Steele seems a great choice.

 

[Liaminho9]

Scunthorpe on loan for the season - a keeper must be imminent IMO.

 

[Rodley]

So it’s Henderson in loan today then?

Makes sense – had to ensure Jags was in before letting Eastwood go. Henderson will probably complete the 3 for the squad.

 

[Whiston Blade]

Eastwood out Jags in, perfect.

 

[Davalon]

Gage said #recordsigning so you'd think it was a perm he's referring to

 

[Liaminho9]

Cardiff keeper signing? He could be player in photo.

Why would a keeper be wearing the outfield kit?

It’s Jags pal, even got the middle aged jeans on

I thought it was too - i've replied to someone who thought it was the Cardiff keeper Etheridge.

Hendo's got a perm now?!

 

[ScunnySteve]

Unfortunately Scunny are in L2 now but still like you say it's better than u23's and a full season in L2 will surely do him wonders.

I've seen great reviews from you guys so hopefully he shines. Look forward to seeing him in the team!

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

For those who are well informed, we seem to have churned a number of promising keepers in recent years, so have turned out better than others.

Willis, Long, Ramsdale, Eastwood, Dewhurst.

Where do they all rank in comparison to one another and potential, who has looked the most promising of the bunch at an earlier stage in their careers?

 

[Redhead]

The player who will play at the highest level will be Ramsdale....
