I'd take him for a season certainly, although lack of match sharpness is a concern. Number 1 on my list is Ruddy.

Man Utd goalkeeper Grant left 'upset' as club 'make U-turn over contract offer'
LEE GRANT has been left ‘upset’ after Manchester United performed a ‘U-turn’ over a new contract. The 38-year-old goalkeeper joined the Red Devils back in 2018 in a £1.5million deal from Stoke City…www.thesun.co.uk
38, eh!This is interesting......

He's been trusted to be on the bench in their European games this season.38, eh!
Not averse to experience but... that's definitely trusting the manager that his powers haven't waned *too* much!
Difference between maybe 20 minutes once upon a time, and a full season, though.He's been trusted to be on the bench in their European games this season.
Totally agree.Difference between maybe 20 minutes once upon a time, and a full season, though.
As I said, no clue myself, haven't seen much of him for the past five years(!) so got to trust the manager he's still up to it.
Yes we did. Agree about the possibility of it being a short term fix.I believe we made enquiries about Grant in January. I'd have been happy with that as a short term fix then but at 38 years old & only played 4 games in 4 years he's not one I'd be looking at to be first choice now.
Not sure on the clamour for Ruddy either tbh. Is it just because he's a big name? His performances absolutely fell off a cliff a few years back with a string of horrendous errors. I'd have real concerns over him too.
Living in Wolves I’ve watched a lot of their games with friends. He typically starts in the cup for them and doesn’t look out of place. I think he’d be a safer signing that a young keeper.I believe we made enquiries about Grant in January.

Stockdale and Ruddy not the answer either, as I've said, someone like Iversen from Leicester would be an idea.
Just looked at the released list of 19 championship keepers. At 30 Nyland, ex Villa sticks out for me. Would be a great option.
3rd choice behind Krul and MCGovern? So possiblyAt Norwich. Are they releasing him?

Decent shout that.What about Christian Walton apparently being released by Brighton only 25 about 6ft 5” and potentially a long future and should have future value. Going for experience keepers in their mid to late thirties is very expensive and short term in a lot of cases.
That might help the Osti situation too....and Viktor Gyokeres...and Danny Cashman.
In that logic, an older keeper who can play for a couple of seasons, while we take a punt on a rough diamond might be the way forward, I guess.I'd prefer a goalkeeper we own & can invest in his development but they're probably the hardest position to recruit for.
I can only see one keeper coming in, unless we manage to offload both Marosi and WilsonIn that logic, an older keeper who can play for a couple of seasons, while we take a punt on a rough diamond might be the way forward, I guess.
Walton is wanted by Luton as he was there on loan, which suggests he’d be in our wage budget. He’s who I’d go for. But for bad luck with injuries he’d be Brighton’s number one right now, but got injured just as his chance came and the Spanish keeper who was behind him took his chance.
Find it interesting that he’s linked to Luton, who spent over £1m on their current keeper.
Free transfer in, sale out, = cash to spend elsewhere?Find it interesting that he’s linked to Luton, who spent over £1m on their current keeper.
Very similar to the 'bring in Walsh & sell Hamer' chat on here... It does happen elsewhere.Free transfer in, sale out, = cash to spend elsewhere?
Shit that's not goodFor those that saw him as a target, Stockdale has signed a contract for next season at Wycombe.
Don't panic.Shit that's not good

Would pursue Ryan Allsop from Wycombe actually, contract is up and has performed well this season.
He was very very young when he came to us (20/21 ish) and did not do that badly. He was not worse than Burge but if I recall had to follow Westwood and Murphy.Lol would rather lick piss off a stinging nettle, he was worse than Burge when he played for us
