i suppose it depends how soon we sign this keeper. still 10 days to go before match one.Are we sure he would be 1st choice if he comes? He won't have played any games behind his defence, so will have no clue as too their ability, and if he can be confident in them, and them in him. Takes time for a keeper to gel with the defence, and we don't have that luxury at present.
ross looked solid enough to start the season, imo. noticeable when the highlights are all played together that he made some good saves last night. time for any new keeper (Palmer or whoever) to get to know the squad and the system, and to impress enough to win the first team place.
i remember that gilks didn't play for 3 weeks after he signed. think he had a slight injury, but it was possibly also to give him time to settle in.
allsop was also on the bench for the first game after he signed.
