Sturrock keen to end search for new keeper

Eric Steele lookalike spotted rummaging through bins on Westborough Road-- possible link there perhaps? Only in early 50s so could probably still do a decent job in L2
 
I say bring back Paul Sansome,
He's old but a legend to us all,
His wages aren't a ransom
And he knows how to catch a ball.

Could be wrong but think you might find his son is Luke Steele who plays for someone in the league I suspect. I spotted Luke rumaging through the bins in Priory Park. Guessed it was Eric's son based upon this.
 
bit of a stupid question but has anyone got any sensible ideas as to who our new keeper might be, thats if there are any free agents left
 
I think you'll find there are MANY free agents left - no issue there.
We could take someone in the day before the season starts, and we'd be fine.
My money is still on Jimmy Walker, but I have no insider knowledge.

I've heard of Johnnie Walker ... any relation?

If you go to the PFA website and go to transfer list there are lots of GKs on there and some good ones too......
 
I wonder if PS knows we haven't got a goalkeeper yet? Someone PM Cluniemore to tell him to sort it out...

:'(

Seriously guys, I think he knows what he's doing. Getting the right one in is the most important thing and I won't care if we don't sign one until August. We'll be fine.

Agreed and all the talk of getting them in early being critical is wide of the mark IMO. We got keepers in on loan twice last season and they came in and hit the ground running. At the end of the day the understanding between back 4 and keeper is important but there is always going to be patterns of play where every keeper should do the same thing. Add in getting a keeper who is vocal and organises his defence then you should get through the first few games where moments of uncertainty could arise.
