Number 1

Who will be are first choice keeper?

[ArmchairDetective]

Muric

[Milltown1882]

Ugurcan Cakir

[NewClaret]

Muric

My guess too.

[RVclaret]

Muric being guessed? I take it that’s a joke?

[ksrclaret]

Mods, please suspend the accounts of those saying Muric.

Muric

Please noooooooo

[CoolClaret]

Jeez, I loved Muric but no.

He hasn't kicked on as one would have hoped and despite his natural talent, I don't think he will ever have the temperament to keep goal to a high-standard in intense leagues, such as the PL.

For me, we need a big physical unit that loves to claim high balls and is relatively accurate with their mid-long range kicking. The easy/lazy suggestion is Sam Johnstone.

No idea who else is out there that fits the bill.

[jedi_master]

Sam Johnstone seems a likely easily done deal and would fit the bill for a few years for us. Solid.

[Conroy92]

Think it'll be Muric.

[randomclaret2]

Muric would be an utterly nonsensical signing

Says no to Muric and proceeds to describe Muric.

[jdrobbo]

Viktor Johansson for me

[CoolClaret]

Says no to Muric and proceeds to describe Muric.

Yeah, because of his temperament/concentration, which I also outlined in the post?

[Murger]

It’ll certainly be interesting who we go in for. You’d have thought there’ll be a couple of targets lined up.

[Goliath]

Ramsdale

[Longsider]

Our

Not heard of him. Who does he play for?

[gandhisflipflop]

Ramsdale

If there’s even a remote possibility of him coming here we should be all over it

[BurnleyFC]

Weiss.

[chekhov]

Trafford. Anyone?

[RVclaret]

Can a guess be a joke?

Of course it can. I take it you weren’t being serious?

[Darnhill Claret]

I'm certain we've spoken to our next number one. I just hope we get our number one choice.

[boatshed bill]

It could well be Weiss.

[Goliath]

It could well be Weiss.

This would suggest we'd learnt absolutely nothing from the last debacle

[Holtyclaret]

It could well be Weiss.

He’s been bought to mould into a future number one, very much number two for the foreseeable you’d imagine.

[NottsClaret]

Sam Johnstone seems a likely easily done deal and would fit the bill for a few years for us. Solid.

Decent shout that, Weiss can be the potential to keep the player trading guys happy but Johnstone would be an affordable, steady away keeper for right now.

[Pearcey]

Trafford on a season loan. Transfer price low due to our loan fee.

[NewClaret]

Of course it can. I take it you weren’t being serious?

I was being serious. That’s my guess.

[RVclaret]

I was being serious. That’s my guess.

Oh right. Seems a very bizarre guess, that’s all. I think he’d probably be below Accy Stanley’s keeper on the list.

[jojomk1]

Tom Heaton

[claretonthecoast1882]

Oh right. Seems a very bizarre guess, that’s all. I think he’d probably be below Accy Stanley’s keeper on the list.

I would have him below Stanley Laurel

[Guller Bull]

Weiss Weiss baby

[beddie]

I’m out of touch with this. I thought we sold Muric, was that not the case then?

[Rileybobs]

Trafford on a season loan. Transfer price low due to our loan fee.

Not possible.

[Pearcey]

Not possible.

Wasn’t being serious but I must remember that it doesn’t translate over a message board.
However, hasn’t there been cases where this has happened?

[Rileybobs]

There probably has been. But currently a PL club can’t loan a player to another PL club in the same transfer window in which they were signed.

[willsclarets]

Signing muric would be suicide. But I can't see Parker being the least bit interested thankfully

Totally agree here.
I'm somewhat surprised that some posters would prefer Johansson to Weiss, there's nothing to suggest he is any better (or admittedly worse the Weiss) and I wonder how many posters have seen either play.

[Goalkeeper]

Muric was a joke and his incompetence directly lead to our relegation. He made easy saves look difficult, and was frustrating in that he never used his long frame when diving to either side. I rate him alongside Perer Mellor and Roger Hansbury.

Johansson has been one of the standouts in the Championship for a number of years now, whilst Weiss at 21 years old has played just one season in the German second division.

I'm not saying we should sign him specifically, but we'll need more experience for the number 1 position this season. As good as Weiss might become, it's usually too much to throw a young keeper into premier league footy.

[CaptainClaret]

Will probably get shot down for this suggestion but we could do a lot worse than signing Mat Ryan who’s currently available on a free transfer. I’ve always rated him highly. Certainly a cut above the options we have at the club.

A bit harsh on Peter Mellor that, I'd replace him with Tony Woodworth and the statement makes more sense

[IanMcL]

Nicky Walker

He now runs Walker's Shortbread.

Probably gets a day off though!

[IanMcL]

We now get our trousers taken down trying to replace Trafford.

[Mattster]

Without knowing how good Weiß is it's a tough one. If the club think he's at the level then go for it, keepers don't improve sitting on the bench. If they think he's a project who needs some time then best to look at a short term, experienced option to develop him alongside - Johnstone and Ortega seem the obvious options. If Weiß is seen as nothing more than a long term backup keeper then you push the boat out a bit to get a younger, quality option such as Lammens or possibly Cooper.
