I would be amazed after 18 months away if he ever played for us again, shame really, I thought he had a lot of potential, and the makings of a good keeper

I hope that we don't regret this in years to come.

Strange, I thought he had loads of potential, even if he dropped a clanger or two. Maybe as a young lad he just missed home.

Bye bye then, another crap signing poorly scouted.

Dont think Gollini was crap to be honest, made some rookie errors but I thought showed promise.

Bunn on the other hand is crap.

Johnstone on the evidence of the Spurs game looks a bit more physically ready for the English game, Gollini effectively pulling out of the collision for the Leeds goal kind of sealed his fate with Bruce I reckon.

Agree with all of this.

An 18 month loan is very unusual.  I would hope that some form of loan fee has been negotiated as well.  I see little point in allowing an asset out for so long otherwise, given the detrimental effect it will have on his value in 18 months time.

In January? Not worth the effort surely with other priorities to focus on.

The only reason I can see is that it's cover for Johnstone or Bunn in the event of an injury and we need to recall him assuming that's written into the loan agreement.

Its a shame but a keeper is the toughest place on the pitch

I always thought he was too young and inexperienced for this tough division. His legacy is that I can only remember the mistakes that cost us dearly compared to any great saves he made

says it all really

There is no option to buy. I think a few here may be wrong and we are hedging our bets on his potential. He is too young and inexperienced. We could potentially have a very good keeper return to us or alternatively an asset worth 3-4 time what we paid for him

Sarkic could potentially be a very good keeper, we don't need Gollini.

Gollini will turn out to be a very fine keeper.  It was just too big a gamble to take for us at this point in his career.

I agree, I think he's got a lot of talent.
