Another paper says Karl Darlow from Newcastle.

hmmm which to believe...

I've heard he's pretty good at karaoke

I'd prefer Tim Westwood I think...

No thanx

Would be a stable option as second choice, which is what he'd be signed to be. Experienced at this level and can impart some of that to BPF.

Would rather we get Darlow.

We are being run on a tight budget lads, was never going to spend on a keeper of note. Blackmans' wages frees up for another players wages NOT a purchase.

Apparently we are signing Karl Darlow for £4Mill

Darlow is an excellent keeper, at this level and a good age

Agree with the Westwood analyse and I was right behind the goal during the Carlisle home match and really wanted us to sign him - was quality. But injury prone and 34 suggest he is past his best.

It depends, if its Westwood then that is clearly as 2nd choice (probably Cup Games as well)

If its Darlow then that is serious competition as he is a cracking keeper.

Either way we are DESPERATE for a Keeper, preferably fighting for a starting berth,

He's easily the best keeper in the championship. How the pigs are treating him is a joke.

Arnt their fans really wanting him to play?
Cause I thought he wasn’t because him and their manager had a disagreement.

Anyone who says that he isint a good signing is being silly. He is a quality keeper despite his age.

It’s likely that any deal would only be until the end of next year, it’s the perfect signing for our current situation.

He is a solid keeper and we wouldn’t be tied to him for ages anyway.

I’d be more than happy with this.*

*But that dosent mean I’d not rather have Heaton or Pope or Forster, just that this is all things considered a solid signing

He's a decent keeper, whether back up or not.

Whether he's capable with his feet as Bielsa likes is another question.

And also if we get promoted then he's a decent third choice keeper on not much wage who can take up a home grown slot if necessary. Keepers of that age and experience can also be handy around younger lads.

He would be signed as second choice this season, but I would expect us to sign a new keeper if we got promoted, making Westwood third. Not sure what is so confusing.

it is not confusing, just found it funny it tickled me, no dig no animosity just tickled me could be 3rd choice

The bit about could have sighed him but didn't, I wonder where AR was when this club was getting the crap ripped out of it?..

Saying we could have just might have if someone else had been in charge!..

And its funny when the age card is pulled out but everybody was going mad when we didn't go after Green!..

How old was Neil Sullivan when he joined us and how did that go?

Assuming he is fit and hasn't been injury plagued - GREAT SIGNING - go get him!

posted on 11/12/18

Westwood is a miles better keeper.

I’d end up first choice

Great keeper and now has a lot of experience - excellent for BPF, I'd say.
