samjp26 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 "He will also add Norwich City goalkeeper Jed Steer, 20, who becomes a free agent on July 1, to a firmament of four including Brad Guzan, Shay Given and Benji Siegrist." "Bringing in Jed will also add to the goalkeeping department and helps with everyone pushing one another, learning from one another and making everyone better and wanting to improve."http://mobile.avfc.co.uk/default.aspx?s=news-display&aid=3220876 Formerly of Norwich City, albeit not making a first team appearance, Jed Steer will reunite with Lambo here at Villa by the looks of it. No official statement on him that I can see, maybe not until July 1st, but they've slipped it into the news story above so I guess its finalized that Jed Steer will be our new number 2 and our 6th signing of the Summer. Welcome I guess! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 26, 2013 It certainly appears that way. Welcome Jed. It's certainly an odd way to find out about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW1985 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yeah just saw this tweeted as well by @AVFCagent, maybe he read it and then tweeted it to make him look ITK. Either way welcome Jed, hopefully this means we can now move on Shay. UTV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Welcome Jed. Guess Siegrist and Steer will be our backup. Just need to shift Given now. Edited June 26, 2013 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) From my Norwich supporting mate who is incredibly fair and balanced. (it's a group of facebook posts so bare with me) I'm hearing that you're about to sign our U21 goalkeeper, Jed Steer. If you are then it's a potentially quality signing. We signed a new 18 year old keeper a couple of months ago who is meant to be the dog's bollocks but Steer will make it at this level, of that I have very little doubt. He could probably do with a season on loan at champ level. He's good but we have Dec Rudd who is meant to be at a similar level, Remi Matthews who has been impressing and Tyler Reading who we signed from Luton who is meant to be amazing. A keeper that we released has just signed pro at Man City. Our academy only seems to produce keepers. I know an academy coach who has been there for 20ish years and he reckons Steer is twice the player Rob Green ever was (remembering how good Green was before his world cup mistake which ruined him) Edited June 26, 2013 by StefanAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Norwich rejected an £8m offer from me in Football Manager, so he must be good! Welcome Jed! Our squad is shaping up nicely!! It all seems so easy. Why have no managers been able to do this before?? :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 He has made two first-team appearances for Norwich, albeit early rounds of the FA Cup two seasons ago (Wiki only counts league fixtures, I believe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
