I'm not really sure what is going on with the goalkeeping situation at this point.  Thought Steer did OK last night and made some good saves, and saw that Bunn was on the bench.  I'm presuming Sarkic is still at the club, so I can't quite understand why we are signing another two keepers unless a couple are going out.   
I wouldn't be happy with either as my No.1 so I'm glad we're looking at Nyland. I think Bruce was being polite about keeper injuries, I think he really means they aren't good enough.

That's fair enough, but that is going to leave us with five keepers in the squad.

I thought sarkic  was out of contract and bunn the same. Wouldn't be surprised if bunn is now the goal keeping coach.
Steer is obviously not rated so needs to be replaced and the athletico keeper must be on a loan to buy if we really rate him as one for the future.
Otherwise you are 100% spot on 5 keepers is over kill

Just checked wiki and Sarkic signed a 3 year deal in 2015 and was on loan at Wigan last season and never played a game for them. Think this says it all

Bunn was on the bench last night, as was Gary Walsh who is the goalkeeping coach.  Sarkic is listed in the squad on the OS, as is the new keeper from Atletico.  Maybe all will become apparent over the coming weeks.

just read something saying Boro were interested in Kodjia

I wouldn't mind seeing Kod leave
Me neither based on Last nights selfishness again.... as long as we then bring in 2 strikers

Apparently John McGinn's just rocked up at Bodymoor Heath, or whatever it's called now.

I was just away to say the self-same. Dim White on Talkshite unsurprisingly qualified the news with a leading question about JG being off. The smarmy tosser.

Well obviously in their eyes how can we sign anyone without cashing in on Jack.

You're right... 15 goals last season and loads of assists... the more you think about it £20m doesn't seem to be enough.

I agree. It’s all part of the circus that they have built around transfer deadline day, they are willing deals like this to go ahead so that they can breathlessly report them and then claim that they had the inside track all along.

I hope you're right LV. The way football is these days, nothing would surprise me.
