Regarding the goalkeeper situation if FF is leaving who are we having as our number one, I recently heard a rumour that McCarthy is being offered a new three year deal this is crazy in the extreme as he has repeatedly shown that he is not capable of holding down this position, my view is that we need to urgently upgrade this position but as we all know a keeper is only as good as his defence and this also needs improvement

Hopefully he is being kept on as back up as a cheaper alternative to Forster. It is logically implausible that the hierarchy see that McCarthy has been dropped for Forster yet is the one of the two kept on when both are out of contract. It must only mean that he is there as #2 and Forster would be too expensive in that role.

Dragowski, Henderson, Johnstone, Strakosha (a name I mentioned a looong while ago) are the main names we are being linked to. Dragowski is young and as a Pole maybe Jan could get him onside, though Strakosha, an Albanian, may be a more difficult buy for a Serbian-owned club.

Henderson and Johnstone will probably take massive wages to sit on the bench of a top 6 club as opposed to being a PL first team regular. But any of those four would be a good signing in my opinion.

As I write I have had a thought. Since we were bought out by Dragan, Broja has scored twice in 5 months, I’m sure I’m reading too much into it but is that an Albanian protesting against our new owners? Probably not, Dragan hates his country’s regime. Anyway I’m rambling.
