Two keepers on loan?

Jones played 12 championship games for Wigan last season - he's capable of playing 4 games for us this season. We'll just have Simpson from the U21s on the bench.
 
the vast majority of the goals we have conceded this season have been ones the keeper could do little about - thats not to say Dieng hasnt made some brilliant saves - but having a rooky keeper for a few weeks wont make a massive difference when our defence is so leaky

Glover would be mad to go, even if he is called up. He is only going to be no2/no3 keeper at best in a competition that isn't exactly the world cup! He will be putting the cones out

Has a chance to play in the championship for a good number of games, and prove he can play at this level, either as a solid number 2, or prove to someone to make a move for him in the summer.

This is English arrogance at its finest.

It's their equivalent of the European championship, where national teams take 3 keepers. He'd be mad not to go if selected.

No at all. I'm not saying the same thing about Dieng competing in the Africa Cup of Nations, which is a prestigious competition for those competing in it. Australia are only in that confederation by default anyhow.

But they're in that confederation and it's the second biggest competition that they compete in. As I say, their equivalence of the European Championship. Would you expect an English keeper to turn that down?

I think many fans would, if the European Championships took place in the middle of the domestic season and the player was unlikely to ever actually play.

It's not something I agree with though, it's inconvenient for Middlesbrough but the chance of playing for your country is one of the biggest honours a footballer can achieve.
Even if he ends up bench warming, he'd be mad to turn down the chance, just in case he was called upon.

What is more likely to get him a move in the summer to being a regular number one at a championship or equivalent club? Being the Third keeper for the Asian cup 2024 winners (although south korea and Japan will probably beat them), or, half a dozen championship games, with the possibility of more, proving you can play at this level.

Given those circumstances I'd absolutely expect an English goalkeeper to turn that down, although you cant compare the chance to play world cup winning teams Germany, France and Italy the same as playing such giants of the game as Uzbekistan, Tajikstan and Vietnam.

I imagine if we don't convince glover to sack off the Aussies, we will bring Hemming back from St Mirren. He is the older of the two keepers out on loan and the one more likely to move on in the summer, would be a good opportunity for him to showcase his talent at championship level.

We have three keepers on loan. Brynn, Hemming and Roberts. He is probably the older and was playing regularly for Barnsley until he got injured. Think he still might be injured though as he hasn't been in squad since end of October. Manager was saying he was outstanding earlier in the season before the injury.

Roberts can't play out from the back like Carrick would want.

I'm not specifically saying Hemming/Bryn can, but given they've been brought through the academy and are both very highly thought of, I'd very much expect them to be able too.

Also Roberts will leave in the summer as out of contract. The other two loan keepers are under contract and are our assets that we can increase (hopefully) in value by playing

They'd also both benefit more from playing a full season on loan.
Dieng is only going to be gone for a maximum of 6 league games, assuming we're beaten by Villa and both Senegal and Australia reach their finals.

It could be as few as 2 matches if we beat Villa and Senegal/Australia are knocked out in the round of 16 or earlier.

I'm not sure it's worth disrupting their loans for such a short spell, as they'd just be warming the bench when Dieng is back.

True, lots to consider. However, if Oz get knocked out before the semi's they should be banned from football and Senegal should go very deep into the African nations as they are probably the overall favourites.
 
We have limited funds so I would be very surprised to see ANY spend or commitment to spend on a keeper for a few weeks.

It was Carrick who said we might bring a loan player back so he must have an idea who it will be.

Last time Hemming and Brynn played for (and likely trained with the Academy) we were not playing it out from the back like we do now. They both went on loan last season in the close season. Hemming did again this season but Brynn may have been here until the season started this year.
