Chindie Posted July 9, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2019 Heaton would be a decent signing if Stoke are asking too much for Butland. He's got a few years at the top level and he is an international. Burnley bizarrely have a very strong group of keepers so if one is available for decent money, I'd go for it. Might also help Steer having a England international training alongside him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 9, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2019 Heaton is far better than Steer. So there’s that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Very happy with Heaton, not every signing has to meet our specific criteria, exceptions to the rule are allowed. Solid keeper and some needed experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moustache of Teale Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I know absolutely nothing about Heaton, other than he used to be the lead singer of The Housemartins and The Beautiful South. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted July 9, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2019 We should have signed Heaton in January. Better late than never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted July 9, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2019 Heaton is a very good choice, exactly what we need for a couple of seasons at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Would prefer to wait for Butland, I'm sure his price will drop if we just stay patient. Edited July 9, 2019 by KAZZAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I'd prefer Butland because he's got age on his side and there's not much between him and Heaton in terms of quality, but under the circumstances I'd be very happy with Heaton. Proven to be a more than competent keeper at this level and we should get at least a couple of seasons out of him for a relatively cheap price, which is important given the number of players we need to sign vs the amount we've already spent. There's always a possibility we can go back in for Butland eventually anyway, be it January or next summer. As good as he is most Premier League sides are already sorted in the position, so outside of ourselves and probably Bournemouth I can't think of many sides that are going to be looking to sign a new first choice keeper.

Villarocker Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I'm not overly excited by the Heaton signing as he never struck me has being that good. Maybe he is and I've not seen enough of his performances to truly judge him, I hope so. However, if buying him allows us to free up more funds for players in other positions - centre back and defensive midfield - then I'm all for it.

Tayls Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Pretty sure I’m the only one on this forum who thinks that we are wasting money signing another keeper. I’d have gone with Steer with Nyland as backup. What’s happened with Kalinic btw? Edited July 9, 2019 by Tayls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
