Good to see Ryan Mullen sign a 3 year contract. Another decent development keeper.

That'll be Forster, Gordon, Bain, Connor Hazard, Ross Doohan and then other younger development/ academy keepers.

Gordon and possibly Forster will be going which will leave us Bain as the senior keeper. Can't see Lennon sticking with Hazard or Doohan as back up so there'll be a need for a new number one. Will be interesting to see what Lennon does as we've done not too badly with keepers over the past few seasons.

I think Forster will still be our keeper next season.
Lennon will want to keep him so I think a deal will be done.

{Ed007's Note - Will Lawwell pay the £ and will Forster take a huge drop in wages to come?}

Ed, there's probably quality out in the market who would do a job for us. We've never been a team who has been bought to challenge for European quarter or semi places so I think you're right. It would be good to sign Forster though and try and get a couple of decent CBs who would come in on the back of having Forster. My main point was that we have a barrow-load of keepers but the majority development projects.

{Ed007's Note - Hazard and Doohan are both 22-years old now so they need to step up or be moved on for the sake of their own careers never mind what we need.
Don't forget that the last time we badly needed a 'keeper Lawwell gambled on a 32-year old with dodgy knees who hadn't played a game in about 3 years.}

You are quite correct Ed, they are the two issues.
Reports are saying FF will accept pay cut? - depends how much he is prepared to lose though.

There is also the Pedro factor as well as you rightly stated.

If the club got a few million windfall from a potential Moussa transfer to one of the top English clubs, would you use that money to secure FF or should we look elsewhere for a keeper and
Would you have anyone in mind?

I'd be surprised if Bain was our no. 1 choice for next season.

{Ed007's Note - I'd be delighted to see us sign Forster mate but I'm not building my hopes up. As for a replacement I've been saying we should sign Odds BK's Sondre Rossbach for a few years now.}

I thought the Copenhagen keeper was very good and could be worth a look at bringing in.

I read Lennon is looking to tie up Hayes and Gordon to new contracts so if that's the case it'll be Gordon and Bain as #1.

Although he's 31 years old I like the look of Benjamin Leroy of French 2nd division Ajaccio. Contract expires 2023 though.

I think we will get the wall on another years loan.

{Ed007's Note - I'm not so sure about that, Kev as Southampton want him off their wage bill. I hope you and the tribe are keeping well & coping during the lockdown.}

Aye we are fine bud, you? Lack of footy is killing me though.

We could end up playing his whole wage for a season rather than paying them a fee?

{Ed007's Note - We're fine too. I'm hoping that Southampton will only ask us for a fee that will cover their pay-off to Forster and then it's up to him whether to come up here permanently.}

They are supposedly looking at ntcham. Could be a player exchange? The wall and eli?

{Ed007's Note - Would you take that? I'm not sure myself.}
