Perfectly understandable.. I mean we’ve done it before and look where that got us!
Northern Echo - Karl Darlow is our top GK target
- Thread starter TeaCider
- Start date

Same here, Henderson and Ramsdale both excelled under Wilder, and with the current goalkeeper coach having left, you’d think he’d get his old coach Darren Ward who both of them worked with at Sheff United. Bazunu wouod be ideal, young goalkeeper with high potential, Ireland’s number one and wilder has a good relationship with Pep. Unless bazunu is off to a prem team on loan, such as Fulham or Bournemouth, I’d have made him our number one target, with Iverson and Woodman also up there. i think darlow would do well, but surely his wages will be steep, and a young keeper with potential would be better than a premier league number 2

Given a choice between the two I'd take Darlow, Iversen probably has more potential but Darlow is in his prime and we need someone to hit the ground running in that position.
Personally I'd say he's much better than either option we've got for GK currently.

It does say in the article that we're also looking at Iverson, but that one might depend more on if he wants to stick with Preston or not.

yeah my thoughts exactly, except the Woodman bit, never seen him have a good game, think he is awful.Same here, Henderson and Ramsdale both excelled under Wilder, and with the current goalkeeper coach having left, you’d think he’d get his old coach Darren Ward who both of them worked with at Sheff United.

If Bournemouth get a keeper in, which I think is unlikely, we should go to them for Travers, he's exceptional.

Iverson is 25, he's not young young. Also, if you take he last 5 years, Darlow has played about 40 games, Iverson over a 100, so in terms of match readiness there is that to consider.

He is absolutely better than Joe Lumley, by a long way.
Whether there are better alternatives out there however I have no idea

The fact that hes a local lad is a strong plus for me, whos to say Iverson would settle in the area. darlo is a no brainer for me.

Are Hemmings and Brynn not even going to be considered then ?

Well the natural step up if the club think they're good enough woulfd be for one of them to be No.2. I'd imagine Wilder will offload Lumley and Daniels so we need to bring in a keeper either way

He's from Northampton.
I doubt Iversen would struggle too much with Teesside when he's played for Oldham, Rotherham and Preston.

Almost certainly not, beyond the odd match.

Can I ask why? Iverson hasn't had a great season and Buanzu is just a fancy foreign name.

Iversen just won Preston's player of the season and they want to sign him permanently?
