Unfortunately for us, it is seeming less and less likely that Keiren will be signing a new contract before the end of the season which leaves a gaping hole in our team. Obviously he has been an outstanding performer ever since he first signed and should have been offered a new deal after his first season.
This has led me to start considering who we could get in to wear the No.1 shirt next season,
-The obvious choice would be Joe Murphy at Scunthorpe. Simply becuase like Westwood he is out of contract in the summer and will not sign if the Iron goes down. This would be the cheaper option that may be more tempting to the board. We have been linked to him in the past.
-Joe Lewis from Peterbrough would be another suitable replacement who is also out of contract. He has been player of the season at posh for a couple of seasons now and if they fail to get promoted would probably be keen to make a move to a higher level and although there may be other clubs interested playing for City could be a possibility.
-In the unlikely situation that money becomes available we could consider making a move for Huddersfiled's Alex Smithies. This move seems less likely as premierhip teams are following his progress but as he is still young could use a Championship team as a stepping stone to learn his trade before playing at the top level. This also is dependant on Huddersfield not gaining promotion.
I have suggested three keepers who are still learning and can use the sky blues to assist in their
progression to the top level but there is also the possibility of bringing in a mature head who can have a real influence upon the defense as a whole. I don't know if there is anyone suitable from the premiership who might be out of contract who could consider a drop in leagues to get regular games.
Who else does anyone think could come in and do a job between the sticks next season?? Or do you agree with any that I have suggested??
