He didn’t make any major mistakes between January and May that I can remember.

Without being a World beater, he’s a very capable GK that I’d have no qualms about starting with in the Premier League he's a decent GK, certainly championship level, possibly Prem level, only time will tell on that one. Some amazing penalty saves, some decent performances, he's a permanent "hero" for those saves in the playoff semis, buts let not be silly and blinkered, i have seen him come for some balls and entirely miss them, not by inches....by feet, almost like he's jumping in to a different post code. a good GK in the Prem is critical and can win quite a few points just by themselves, probably nearly as important as a key striker, Steer could "possibly" be good enough, but if you offered me someone of clear and obvious talent, who would be a level above, i would take them in a heartbeat, this isnt the time for Nostalgia, now is the time for planning to stay in this league. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny ward went to Leicester for £12.5million as Schmeichel’s back up.. Rather than get zero for Steer we can now get £7/8mill Perhaps next summer..

He deserved a new contract and he deserves to challenge for a place. But sorry I really don’t think he’s good enough for the premier league. The fact that we’re clearly interested in a first choice keeper would suggest Smith agrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Darren Randolph under consideration as an alternative according to John Percy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Who blinks first on this, us or Stoke? That’s how this seems right now. I reckon it could still happen. We are most likely looking at throw loads of add ons which are putting stoke off. Unless we loan him with the option to buy? Paying a big fee up front for the loan.

M_Afro Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I still think and hope that this will happen. As I have previously stated, he wants the premier league and Stoke probably want him off the wage bill. How many PL teams are in for a new GK? Answer........not many. How many of those have their training ground close to the city of Lichfield where he lives........? Waiting game in play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Randolph is one who has been crap every time I've watched him. People often talk about him as one of the best in the championship tho. I must see all his bad games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Strange that @TrentVilla closed the Heaton thread but this one has been kept open Even though all the recent press has been we are no longer interested (apparently) and have moved on .... hmmm ..

Stevo985 Posted July 10, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 10, 2019 Randolph would be a decent signing if we were still in the championship. Not for the premier league though, imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
