I think he'll probably end up as Westwoods replacement when (not if) he leaves.On the few occasions i saw him for Brum on tv he looked pretty steady.

I think he is just an emergency cover incase Westwood's missus drops her load?

It's only an emergency 1 month loan, I wouldn't read in to it too much. It is ridiculous though that due to a series of totally useless friendlies we have to fork out to loan in a new keeper. Does anyone actually care about tonight's internationals in the slightest?!?!

Wether we like the fact or not,Boothroyd knows that he's got to keep his eyes open for a new number 1 now.Westwood has said he want's a new contract,but thats rubbish,it's easy to say it,he isnt gonna come out and say i dont want to sign is he! could you imagine the reaction.
He knows if he leaves when his contract is up he's gonna get nearly double in wages he'd get if he left now,as a club would have to pay a fee at the present moment.Great keeper and it's a shame but he's a going.

Is it anything to do with Gaelic football playing when young I wonder? in my personal opinion the Irish keepers are consistently the best in the world. I could never understand how teams like Arsenal and Man Utd would sign bag loads of absolutely hopeless keepers from all over the world for huge sums of money when Shay Given was just quietly getting on with newcastle and receiving very little praise for it. He is without a doubt the best goalkeeper around (not counting westwood of course). And you can shove your Gianluigi Buffon up your arse, never understood why people rated him so much.

Don't underestimate the quality 'keeper who has just signed. He was very influential when Birmingham got promoted, with a number of very good performances.

Not so much that I'd underestimate, probably more a case of the devil you know. I think Keiron has done a great job for us and he's not as highly rated as he is for nothing. I hope the noobie is quality as you say, the more quality players we have, in any position , the better.
What happened to Doyle? Three years ago he was being linked to Arsenal, so he must have some ability, whether he can reproduce the form when Birmingham got promoted in 2006-07 remains to be seen, but he should be a good backup keeper, hopefully he's not replacing Westwood though!
And SkyBlueMania I know what you mean, some keepers of certain nationalities are hyped up to be something they're not while ones from less fashionable countries are overlooked.

He did OK, hard to judge from one game really. Wasn't his fault on the goals from what I could tell, but didn't really have much else where he could prove himself.
Anyway Birmingham have recalled him so he's gone as fast as he came... Bit of a strange one!
