Yes, I think £10m. I honestly don’t know, but that sort of figure for a young keeper, showing promise seems about right in today’s market (using the Pickford transfer as a yardstick). He would have the added bonus of being already fairly settled in which would be an advantage over other potential keepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s as simple as that. 2 minutes ago, Eastie said: United only hold a one year option so that would affect his fee . Not sure it does nowadays, in reality.

Dr_Pangloss Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 A good championship keeper who isn't IMO cut out for the premier league, far too many deficiencies, I absolute hope we do not sign him permanently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best keeper in this division easily, will get better and better with experience. I think we would be silly not to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 He reminds me a bit of Scott Carson. Superb shot stopper and good on one on one situations but shit scared of crosses. I really hope he can improve this part of his game as could make or break how good he could be. Of course he is still very young so lots of time to improve.

Guest av1 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 What is it with Villa keeoers nit coming off their line? Burton put a cross in on 69 minutes which Chester had toput out for a corner. He turned round and give Johnstone pelters for not dealing with it. Fantastic shot stopper but he needs to be more commanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he wanted Johnstone to come for it but he wanted a call from him as there wasn’t a burton player anywhere near the ball so Chester didn’t need to concede the corner. I’d agree that he needs to improve from set pieces but he’s been great this season for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen a replay so i can only comment from seeing it at the ground, but i thought Johnstone should have come for that. It was only 7/8 yards out.

sidcow Posted February 3, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2018 Yes he's a brilliant shot stopper but if he's to be a top keeper his kicking and especially domination of the box needs to improve. I am sure that will come with experience as he matures but Man Ure won't be contemplating him as their keeper unless he gets this. It's hard to know how to view him. He's unquestionably stopping some surefire goals against us but I feel there are others which wouldn't have been conceded if the keeper clears the box.

He should have dealt with the cross that led to the corner, and goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted February 6, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 6, 2018 I think he’s an excellent young ‘keeper and whether he stays with us or goes back to Man Utd, I know he’ll do well in the future. I hope we can get him permanently though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnmacf Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Thought he deserved a mention for another clean sheet today in a high pressure game. Did everything asked of him comfortably. Always made the right choices as far as I could see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvillafan Posted February 12, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 12, 2018 His footwork and kicking reminds me of Bosnich. Sprayed quite a few yesterday. If he's at least half as good as the aforementioned at shot stopping - sign him up regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poitier Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 It was a poor kick for sure, the Fulham lad finished it well, plenty wouldn't have, but the error certainly isn't typical of his overall displays. His kicking isn't the strongest part of his game, but that won't be the worst mistake he ever makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
