As of this weekend we won't actually have a senior Goalkeeper on our books!

Has Jed Steer gone?

Rodwell! Ask any Sunderland fan their opinion......stay clear.

Had a tough time a Sunderland (don't know exactly what happened there), but, the Rodwell of Everton would be a good deal, especially if it shifted Ross off our books.

It doesn't end well when Sunderland buy a player from Manchester City does it?

The Rodwell of Everton was 5 years ago, remember we've been there and done that, repeatedly, signing players who used to be good half a decade ago but now are shit, hoping to get one more tune out of them.

The tune we get from them always sounds like a wet fart. Avoid has beens.

Good point, although I think he's still injured...?

I can't imagine that Utd would let Johnstone go that cheaply, but in the horrifying event that he does go elsewhere we should be snapping John Ruddy up.

I thought Bunn was on the retained list when it was published.

Wouldn't be remotely surprised to see a new 6 week saga begin now for getting Hart on loan for a year as I'm not sure there are many options for him in Premiership now.

Can we go and buy the Spanish lad Saul? Seems decent.

I would gone for Joe Hart on loan to sort the goalkeeper situtation out.

We lost vital points due to having a constant state of flux in goal.  If Johnstone is going elsewhere we need to find another option fast. Ruddy on a free might be worth a shout.

Hmm, we need a good man to counter-act Terry's arrival, not sure Saul would be the right choice though.

Would be disappointed if we didn't sign Johnstone at that sort of price.

Ruddy on a free with Steer as number two would be fine.  Honestly think that would be a better option than spending money on Johnstone.
