I can see Bunn staying and Guzan going. Bunn and Steer being the back ups to Gollini. If the kid is good enough he should be starting.

Good stuff, well I say that in spite of having no clue about him, but given how poor we were in goal last year he must be an improvement.

You could lay my miniscule todger across the goal line as a makeshift draft excluder and it would be a better bet to keep the ball out than Guzan.

Young and inexperienced so let's hope he's got the talent and ability to become our new no.1. Presumably both RDM and our new GK coach would have identified him as someone they can see doing a good and developing.

Anyways, here's some obligatory YouTube clips...

Hopefully he's more Buffon than Taibi.

Seems brave enough with good reflexes. Not too many crosses put in the mixer but he looks a big lad.

Sometimes it's the right club at the right time. I don't think Guzan is a bad keeper, I just think he's far too war weary to carry on at the Villa.

I am presuming that Battara has something to do with this?

I'm sure we'll get midfielders to do that

Can he also take goal kicks, throw it out to someone in a claret and blue shirt and not look as though he's going to cack his pants every time he has the ball in his hands?
Please!

He played for the Italian equivalent of us last season, Verona were rock bottom for most of the season although they did rally towards the end.

Can he bring Luca Toni with him?
