Yes. He's not played much the past two seasons but hes been on the bench everyweek so he must have kept himself fit

No, we don't need another keeper.

I'd take Rob Green (released by QPR) instead

Yeah I have to agree, but I think Burge might move on this summer, if he's not 1st choice
so will maybe need to bring someone in.

I'm not sure he's been injured that much over the last few seasons, has he? Just not first-choice at Preston as I understand it, but he had 84 appearances for Sheff Weds in his time there.
I'd like an experienced keeper to both support and challenge RCC. He has definitely improved this year but I think cost us a few games earlier on.

That would put RCC down to reserve - and he has come on so much, wouldnt want to stop his development, and there are so many more positions we need to fill first = so its a no from me

Why would it put RCC down to reserve, surely TM would select the best keeper
based on training and coaches say so . If that was judged not to be RCC then
that must be of benefit to the team.

RCC I believe TM sees as a no1 so a player like CK at his stage of his career would surely only come to sit on the bench if he's going to do some sort of coaching role within the club.
Personally I think a young keeper aged 21-25 to push RCC would be better. I don't rate Lee Burge to develop much more personally.

This is true but I don't see him topping the level RCC is at now in his career

Using Wigan as an example, I would prefer an experience keeper if we are going to challenge for promotion.
As part of their spending they got O'Donnell (I think it is) from Walsall, who in fairness dos have some decent games while on their books.
They however ended the season, and their fortunes clearly changed, with Jaaskalianen in goal. They gained promotion.
I do trust RCC and rate him highly (had a good chat with him at the awards night too), but in not sure Kirkland would be the best choice.

Best keeper in this league In my opinion was that lad in goal for Southend who I'm sure is out of contract.

Bentley, got plenty of Champ sides after him think they turned down £2mil from Hull in January.
Best keeper I've seen at this level.

Yes I've always rated him too! But out of our league (or atleast he will be when he comes out of contract. Will definately be championship suitors, if not higher)

Both our 2 young keepers have improved this season but are they good enough for a promotion challenging team or do we need a more experienced man in ? I like RCC but keeper is such an important position & if we got the right signing now it could save us a load of points next season.
Difficult for young keepers learning the game, player makes a mistake & gets over it but keeper makes a mistake & we're a goal down.

Id have kirkland as no 1 anyday over rcc. Hes still to mistake prone and put the defence on the back foot with his rash passes to the back four. If we are serious about a promotion this season then building the defence on a solid keeper is a must

RCC is good enough for this level. He improved quite a bit last season. We have other players that are good enough for this level. But that is the problem.
How many times did we play well last season but didn't win because the other team had a GK that kept them in the game? If we can get players in that are above this level and not just good enough for this level we will have a chance of promotion. A good GK does much more than diving about and jumping to catch the ball. It is the much more that comes with experience.
