Sam Johnstone - now retired

[cdward]

I take it that Bruce doesn't rate Gollini at all, or Jed Steer.

Steer's out for the season I think.

It must be weird. If you're a really talented young English keeper and set your sights on the premier league, you're aiming at 20 jobs. 15 if you discount yo-yo teams. And the established competition can play till they're 40. The numbers are crazy really.

Welcome, Sam.

Huh, I never thought about it that way before. You are right. Puts the size of the market into perspective.

Johnstone seems to have a physical presence about him we have lacked since Brad 1.

[themossman]

Yes he looks like a 'proper' keeper.

Probably been asked before but I'm lazy. Have we agreed a fee if we want to sign him permanently?

Currently unclear. Some reports said we had, but none of the more reputable places reported it.

[cdbearsfan]

Cheers.

Can someone who has Twitter ask the General, pretty please?

[cdbearsfan]

I meant Dr Xia. Brain stuck in 2007.

[brontebilly]

Got his feet all wrong for their first it looked?

Solid apart from that, fast off his line and a lot more of a presence than Gollini.

[SoccerHQ]

Liked what I saw.

I think deep down he'll know it's time to leave Man. United as he's way down the pecking order so I'd say we would be in a good position to sign him especially if we go up.

I read quite a few quotes stating that Mourinho rates him highly, so I very much doubt it.

He's not getting any playing time while De Gea is there.
