Sam Johnstone - now retired

[wittonwarrior]

A good championship goalkeeper, nothing more, nothing less.

[SoccerHQ]

Thought a premier league team might've been in for him.

[CT]

We can’t find £5 million for Johnstone but we did find £5 million for Tshibola, sums it all up quite nicely.

"Tish" might be in goal next season Jon!

[cheltenhamlion]

With Bunn out of contract the cupboard looks a bit bare for keepers.

With respect that is complete and utter horseshit.  At £5m he will prove to be a bargain.

Steer looks OK. There are plenty on free transfers. Loan Henderson from United for the next 5 years and pay nothing for him.

[David_Nab]

If he is £5mil now with 18 months exp in Championship then I'd think we could have brought him for 2/3 mil in the first place ..

[PaulWinch again]

I think he’s a decent keeper, got a couple of big flaws in his game, but probably good enough for lower end of Premier League.

Henderson has gone to Sheff Utd on loan

[ozzjim]

Oh. Other clubs in our division strengthening are they. We could do with a bit of that.

[mr underhill]

don't hold your breath. The Dr  has totally lost the plot if he's turning down investment from anyone let alone Americans

[ozzjim]

I won't don't worry. League one will be fun season after next though.

[mr underhill]

true

[Allan C]

Yes. Let's have our own players in key positions rather than developing other clubs players.

100% agree

It has always been my issue with the loan system. Imagine if we had got up by winning the league (bear with me) then we would all clamour to keep the players that got us there who were on loan but to sign them and then pay full wages we would have spunked the budget without moving forward with anything new

**BING** the penny drops. Great post that should go on the Bruce Out thread

If he's fit, I would probably give Steer a chance to be honest.  Is Bunn out of contract?  I would probably still look to keep him as back up and have Sarkic as third choice.
