Looking increasingly likely that he's going to leave, sadly. Personally, I'd want to keep him but if we're talking £30 million that's just too good to turn down for England's what 5th choice keeper.
Would leave us with Wes and Veriips on the books.
Wes is nowhere near good enough to play at this level.
With Veriips I think we'll have to play him or sell him. He's not going to be happy being a reserve. He did well by all accounts on loan and we went through so many hoops to sign him we must rate him. I'd be tempted to go with what we have (unless we can shift Wes) and use a kid as the third choice (Dewhurst). No idea what Eastwood is doing but he needs to go really. Been really unlucky but still.
But, if we are going to bring a replacement in, what good players are out there?
People rated Freddy Woodman last year on loan from Newcastle at Swansea but I have reservations. He may also be in Newcastle's plans this season
I was impressed with Bazunu in the couple of games I've seen for Rochdale and his first Irish cap at the age of 19 this summer. I suspect Man City will be looking to loan to the Championship this season but I'd prefer us to buy a long-term keeper.
There's also Kelleher at Liverpool. Be nice to have an Irish keeper again. They have Karius as well.
