The Bloke is a good keeper, you will be hard pressed to find a Sheff Utd fan who thinks he's shit. And these are the people that watched the bloke week in week out. No shame in being kept out of a starting 11 by Ramsdale and Henderson is it?

He's an Improvement on Both Wilson and Marosi, and will be a good teacher for Billson and Tyler.

We've clearly abandoned playing out from the back (rightfully) and this bloke claims crosses and gets rid. That's what we need.

I'm sure he will be solid

That’s very much not the impression I got from a browse of the Sheff Utd forums where they say what I’ve been saying which is he’s been happy to sit on the bench and pick up a wage, is L1 at best, and doesn’t command his area. But he’s a decent shot stopper and a nice bloke. You could literally find>replace Moore for Burge and it could be one of our threads from a couple of seasons ago when he left.

YES! Come one we’ve lost Burge and Biamou, we need a new player to start up threads every 2 weeks arguing over wether he’s any good

When does a third choice goalkeeper get used? Even in the event of injuries to both, the club would draft someone in on loan like we did with Stockdale.

The club has done some stupid things in my time but this would be up there, especially with what little budget we have.

I agree it would be a waste of money but again we don't know the plans, this lad sounds like a good league one keeper who's happy to sit on the bench, sounds like a second choice signing to me if we get him.

Look, when he signs I’ll be behind him, but while it’s a rumours he’s fair game and you’ll get my unvarnished opinion.

If he’s followed by Waghorn someone should probably check in on me later though.

Have we actually signed Moore? or are we just assuming it will happen because of what we have read?

My concern is like most signings Badlan usually says ‘we’ve been monitoring him for a long time’

Hard to monitor someone that hasn’t played in bloody years! They watching videos of him playing back in the days of VCR?

At least Westwood’s played in the last four years at a competitive level and year before last was in the playoffs

Whilst this is true, he hasn’t played more than 20 games in the last 4 seasons. I guess they’re looking at wage/injury risk

That was 4 years ago & the last time he managed a full season. He's only made sporadic appearances ever since due to a combination of injuries & falling outs.

TBF he was bombed out by a couple of previous Sheff Wednesday managers, but agree that he has had a lot of injury problems.

I assume Moore is coming in on top end league one wages as opposed to what Westwood would command

He was first choice at Sheff United at this level until he got injured.

Combined the money we're going to spend on two keepers and signed Walton.

I'm not writing the guy off, he should get a chance but I think the overreaction to people saying they're underwhelmed is extreme.

We all trust MR to get things right overall but if we even show doubt in one decision you're treated like a heretic.

Bang on. We all want to see signings succeed. However, not being thrilled by every decision Robins or the club makes isn't bizarre or illogical behaviour. Strange how people think otherwise.

80 championship games and never scored a goal. Obviously rubbish.

To be fair I know very little about Moore so I'll reserve judgement until his first howler.
