A HG Keeper

[bluealf]

Yeah, Hennessey, and Westwood, are 2 options, but as you say, definitely worse than our current backup. The question you'd need to ask is, if the worse came to the worse, and Hart suffered a serious injury, would you want Hennessey, or Westwood, playing week in, week out, for City. I'd suggest most would say something akin to "fuck no"!

Westwood was better than Hart the season Hart moved to City, he was a brilliant keeper for Carlisle, Hart got the top keeper award for div 2 but that was because of all the press interest and no fucker comes up to Carlisle so Westwood who had more clean sheets got nothing.

Westwood made the wrong choice in clubs moving to Coventry and then Sunderland, fair play to him for going to Sheff Weds to actually play games.

I was hoping he would have moved to us as the number 2 last season but he wants to play.

How about we bring a keeper through the Eds

Angus Gunn is a very good prospect but he needs to go out on loan for a couple of seasons to get some proper competitive experience before he can be considered for the No.2 role.

The difference between Westwood or Hennessey and Willy is marginal but he is on a 3 year deal and Manuel's choice at a time when we were also struggling to fill the club trained spots.

Couldn't agree more

 

[Lancet Fluke]

Rob Green, Wayne Hennessey or Jake Butland. Any of those would be decent options IMO.

 

[blinkblue]

Would Westwood and Hennessey be club trained too?

 

[GeorgeHeslop'sTackle.]

The Cardiff keeper Marshall has always impressed me!

All about opinions L, just don't see it myself, looks decidedly dodgy at times, particularly when handling or kicking... But then again so does Willy!!

Spending money on a back up keeper isn't a priority in my view.

Give Angus a go as understoody, if willy goes.

perfect opportunity to promote someone, with promise, from the EDS

 

[Damocles]

We specifically brought in Caballero because he's a keeper that can challenge the far-too-comfortable-at-the-time Joe Hart. He's done this successfully and nicked his spot, making Hart a better keeper and more dedicated to fighting back for it.

There are no homegrown keepers available who could even touch Hart with one hand behind his back. This is why we don't have a HG one.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Could have had Begovic. That's a fantastic signing for Chelsea. I'm amazed he agreed to go as a backup.

 

[BusterPhillips]

No keep Cabellaro, Joe Hart even admitted that Willy has helped raise his game (assuming he means coaching).
