This guy might be on £50 a week but it’s still £50 a week we did not need to spend. How many teams have two ancient back up keepers?
 

An aging keeper who has barely played over the last few years is probably a greater risk than giving one of the young keepers a go. I think we should have waited and if anything happened to the other 2 I'm sure there is a rule where you can sign a keeper anyways. Waste of a wage and a space in the 25 man squad.
I am not saying it is a good signing but I am saying that there is a good time and not good time and we have respect the coaches for knowing when to play the kids .

He'll sign and neither Pickford or Begovic will get injured so we'll spend some of our already restricted budget on someone that never plays. Or he will get a chance and be as rusty as Espen Baardsen and let in loads of soft goals.
 

Please find some relevant examples of this happening and I’ll take your post seriously.

We had to rely on our third choice keeper last season.

It's happened to us before, also.

I'd rather have an experienced pro than some kid who's clearly not rated stepping in.
 
Well, his expected goals conceded (xGC) is 0 and his next door neighbours house is called Goodison.
What’s not to like?

Low fee and wages mean we can bring in our number one target Earl Barrett for that all-important right-back slot.
 

Probably.

It's possible though. We had to start our 3rd choice keeper in a big match last season.

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

If both our first choice keepers pick up an injury there is a rule in place where you can sign a keeper as an emergency. I would rather do that than have a very poor 3rd choice hanging about all season.
