Woodman is about as " good " as CollinsPreston have released Freddie Woodman and Emil Riis. We should be looking at both of them.
I think we’re nailed on to being in another number one keeper - we’re not going to try and muddle through with Wilson for half a season.
Yeah I think most fans are discounting the likelihood that Dovin will not come back as the automatic number 1. Very unfortunately timed injury for him.There’s also no guarantee Dovin comes back in fine form. The risk is too high to get this wrong. It has to be a full season loan or a permanent transfer for a GK we’d be happy to be number 1.

How many chances did we create for BTA like that?!
Given Chelsea's abundance of keepers (and they are probably going to add another this summer) and Franks connections, a 6-12 month loan for one of their backups on mates rates makes sense and will hopefully leave money to strengthen elsewhereThere’s also no guarantee Dovin comes back in fine form.

True but Collins maximum has only a year left anyway. Even if we cant persuade him to leave permanently we may be able to loan him outPersonally I'd prefer the loan option. 6 months with a view to extending depending on performance / how able Dovin is to return into the fold.
On reflection I really don't think it's overly pragmatic to be saddled with yet another permanent GK on our books really if we're unable to move Collins on.

This season proved that you need 2 competent GKs. People like to forget that Dovin was regularly putting in MOTM calibre performances in our run Jan-Feb.
With an ACL, particularly the way Dovin did the injury, there’s the risk he could do it again. It has to be a 12 month loan minimum, a 6 month loan potentially exposes us.
Wilson is a 3rd choice keeper imo and Collins will be bombed out.
Possibly, but personally I think you're being over cautious. He suffered it at the back end of March. Meaning really he should be good to go by January if all goes well.
Not sure sidelining him unnecessarily for the best part of half a season is the best strategy for him moving forward or in his development.
6 month loan with option to extend gives the club the flexibility to send back or extend the loan if Dovin suffers any kind of setback in his recovery.
The guidelines for an ACL is 9-12 months so it could be as long as March.
Equally, a 6 month loan means the parent club can opt to take him back at the end of the loan which would be mostly likely a 1st Jan expiry. Even end of Jan is within the recommended rehab period for an ACL injury so Dovin may not be ready.
Again, you’re still left with Wilson and Collins for backups which is unacceptable given how this season has ended. It’s an area that needs addressing properly and a 6 month loan kicks the can down the road.
A lot of people’s idea of ‘acceptable’ cover is completely inadequate. There’s posts in preseason that were genuinely happy with the prospect of Kai Andrews being a 4th or 5th choice CM…
What if Dovin has a set back or needs time to get back upto speed? October / November will go out of the windowI'm well aware of the recovery time of an ACL, I think we're all well acquainted by now.
As i've mentioned though Saddle has indicated recently that the recovery window for Dovin had been reduced to October/November time. So if that is indeed the case we categorically won't need, nor likely get for that matter, a loan player for 12 months.
The parent club would only look to recall if they a) had an injury criss or b) looked to move him to higher placed club to fast track his development. I really don't think the latter would be an issue given we're hopefully going to be competing at the business end of the Championship.
Regarding the highlighted point this isn't FIFA. We can't just keep on stockpiling goalkeepers. You would've thought one will have to move on if a more permanent solution is brought in as other areas also are in desperate need of addressing.

I really struggle with people who take things out of context! I was referring to the rumoured return date of Dovin. Nothing else.I really struggle with people that fail to read.
I've already touched upon that in this thread and it likely won't change anything if he does suffer a setback. There will be an option to extend in Jan or even bring someone in more permanent if for whatever reason extending isn't an option.

Be on monster wages thoughProbably get stick but how about Rhian Brewster from Sheffield? Can play up front and I think on the right, out of contract aswell, good at this level and knows the league

Rudoni to the Blunts is laughably unthinkable. Not going to happen.
Genuinely think i'd rather keep Simms, and that's saying something as i'd personally drive him to his new club if someone offered us our money back.Probably get stick but how about Rhian Brewster from Sheffield?

Could be mate but hell soon be earning nothing but I think he'd be a good signingBe on monster wages though
Be a more mobile forward then Simms, think he score more then Simms this season and has played in the Prem, altho in a shit season with Sheffield, I think hed be a good signing pal, anyway we're not even linked with him just think he'd be a good pick upGenuinely think i'd rather keep Simms, and that's saying something as i'd personally drive him to his new club if someone offered us our money back.
Highly doubt they (or any other Championship team) would be able or willing to pay what would be required.

Read he's in talks about a renewal so won't happen, plenty of options out there just hope the club acts early.I'd take him over Simms, as you say, not happening but if I had a choice, it would be him.
