Is Jedinak still in charge of the loans? Can't fault him much if he is.

Darren Randolph being looked at apparently.... to replace/usurp/challenge Jed Steer....

My abiding memory of him is letting a tame Glenn Whelan effort through his legs

It's not good having a keeper sat on the bench every game, rarely getting any game time and tends to be why they play in cup games. Having a couple of senior keepers and rotating which of them goes out on loan could be a good way around this. We were in for Bettinelli in the summer too.

And yet another example what sets us apart from the beasts - i have no problem at all that he played for them whereas it would be the only thing that mattered the other way round.

aaron ramsey is going on loan to cheltenham.

sounds like darren randolph is going to come in on loan from west ham as backup to emi, with jed steer beings sent out on loan to get first team experience somewhere.

Great news about Ramsey jr ! ( for me anyway .) I’ll report back

Randolph is a very decent back-up.

Who was the midfielder that would get about 97 assists.... Jason Peake maybe... ah my old memory is failing me.

Mark Kerr? Simon Davies?

Actually a pretty good idea, means your sub keeper has always had a run of games within the last few months, plus I'd guess it keeps them both pretty happy with how much game time they're getting, and have a decent resale value if they're not.

Interesting comment from Gerrard in the pre-match interview - said we're still looking for attacking options...  If true, you have to assume that's the end for one or both of El Ghazi and Trez this window?

I don't think Trez, Bertie or ElGhazi will be here come the end of the summer.

I’d be surprised if all three went.
