Prutton is spot on. Any keeper coming in should be there to support BPF in an older head, passing on experience and step in if needed role, or be a definite number 1, but if you do that then don’t expect BPF to hang around.
To be linked with a player who didn’t have a better season than us, doesn’t have anything significantly different in terms of experience other than some more matches in one season, and then only getting that player on loan for a year feels very much another cheap approach to a key area.
The keeper question

Loans sound great, no capital outlay, try before you buy...except they very very rarely work out for us, and we've had about 100 of them since relegation from Prem.
The problem we have now, is that thanks to Victor, our permanents aren't working out either!!

Jonty - we've had 100s of permanent signings since relegation from the prem - bar the L1 promotion, they've not got us far either - perennially underachieving.
We need to be open to all options, whatever it takes to earn promotion.

people would say dont sign marco assensio on loan as it will impact jack clarke or someone for a year.
how about we get promoted then worry about the academy.

"but our players aren't good enough for a medal at present are they"
Like I said, who says bringing outsiders in will guarantee promotion?..
Like people say, we use our own and don't go up people will say what if and why not, but the same could be said if we bring others in and don't go up!..
Opinion, I think it better using and developing our own unless a permanent is brought in!..

couldnt care less if there from beeston or taiwan.
i just dont want this 14 years to turn into 20.
and it will if were gonna sit around waiting for phillips et al to get us promoted.
the time is now.

Exactly, if we can sign a keeper better than BPF on loan who will assist us in getting promoted I do not care one bit.
Same goes for if we can sign better players on loan than Vieira, Clarke etc.
All I want is promotion, the rest takes care of itself.

homegrown is lovely when they are a jack grealish, ryan sessegnon or lewis cook.
they dislodge anyone in their way because they are that good.
but im getting impatient and sitting around waiting for development is long weve relied to heavily on it for 14 years and gone nowhere.
lets get promoted then they can develop more playing with better players in the prem and not want to leave to burnley for 3m quid after we put the groundwork in.

yeah I guess I see your point guys
still, if somebody put a gun to my head and said "PF in goal next season.. yes or no", I'd still have to say yes, lets take a punt on this lad

Alex smithies is apparently available due to woe needing to sell.
He would be a good choice if we looked to bring in another keeper
