Now that he?s been released by Preston North End, if he?s willing to be back up to Nick Pope or a new, as yet unsigned first choice keeper, I think this would make sense in terms of depth (Fraser Forster has been mentioned as well), but more importantly, as a home grown player for Europe and at 28, his best years as a keeper may be still to come.

It?s a struggle to understand how he never quite made it after all the hype when he was first coming through the youth teams. It could also be the catalyst for a bit of a refresh and clear out of the goalkeepers, like Mark Gillespie and the Vlachodimos if they can get a fee for him etc.

Any thoughts?
