At least we're looking at other deals which make a lot more sense as well.Why? I don't trust Mark Bunn in the slightest and Gollini has a long way to go. If this kid is better than why not bring him in?Is he better ? Is he going to stay after this season if he's any good? Will Gollini get better with game time? Is Gollini off himself? Answers to these questions would determine whether it's a sensible one or not, but at this point my feeling is that I'd sooner stick with Gollini or buy experience.

We have to trust the judgement of Gary Bailey and Tony Coton, two well respected goalkeepers in their own right on that. They have seen Bunn and Gollini close up and feel Johnstone is better. I'm all for better.
If you're talking in the context of priorities then yes we have more obvious pressing needs. But deals don't always align that way. I would expect that Bruce knows we need help in midfield and up front and is working on that.

I'm all for better.I hope we have an option to buy because if he is better as you say, it's only till the end of the season. If not, we have a Goalkeeper change now for the defence to get used to, and then another one in the summer, or a no better or possibly even worse Gollini back in the Sticks.I'm not deliberately trying to be a moaner on this, I'm delighted with both Xia and Bruce, but I just can't get my head around this one.
All for Better? Come on, that sounds like a Labour Party slogan.
