I think we’ll see a much more counter based 3-4-3 in the prem. I agree in that I think Wright could thrive with his pace and ball control in tight areas.

But my big concern with him in that system is his hold up play. Seems at times him and Simms struggle to make the ball stick which would allow us to break at pace.

Simms did this well at Portsmouth away.
you think we will play 3 at the back?

Whilst im not suggesting this is going to happen, or that its even on the cards. To suggest that getting one of the best goalkeepers at the very highest of levels of all time for £8m (which let's be honest, isnt necessarily what he would be asking just because its what hes on now. Hes actually weighing up retirement. £8m to retirement is £0m. £8m to say 50% of that for one last season is £4m.)

Even if it stays at £8m, we need to sign a keeper for next season. We cant throw Dovin straight back in in the PL. Wilson wont cut anything higher than 3rd choice. We need at least 1 keeper signed, if not 2. £10-15m for a new keeper, plus £1-2m in wages, is still a lot more than £8m in wages for the very much tried and tested Nauer.

I'll never understand why so many on here get so hung up on "high wages" of players as an immediate reason to not sign them. Without actually putting a bit of thought in to it and looking at it from a different angle. And a free signing on £8m who we all know is more than qualified is definitely a good shout if we fail to sign Rushworth permanently (who none of us know how he'll get on at PL level).

Also, if he keeps us up next season in the same way that Rushwworth has saved us numerous points this season, then yeah.... £8m would be an absolute fucking bargain!

Could possibly be an amortization exercise?

Massive wages could upset the squad harmony if one person is on £100k a week more than anyone else

Not a chance he comes. He turned down PL interest to go back to the team he supports.
I think he'd be good but you're right. There's not too much else I'd consider from the SPL these days. Wouldn't say no to Raskin, 100% leaves Rangers in the summer.

Yeah, because Ben Wilson who's won L1 and Championship promotion and the Championship golden glove should definitely be earning the same as Manuel Neuer who has won numerous Bundesliga titles, played in the champions league (finished runner up numerous times), has over 100 caps for his country including WC runners up medals, made Ballon d'OR dream teams, won "worlds best goalkeeper" on 5 occasions, won "worlds best goalkeeper of the decade", 2 decades in a row.... I could go on. Yeah, for fairness, let's pay him less and use the difference to top up Ben Wilson and Luke Bell so they dont feel left out
