Dan KP says Norwich, and hart joining us on a free
Both of those would be smart moves.

I don't think Skipp would be given enough playing time in a newly promoted team fighting for survival. A recently relegated team, one of the favourites for promotion, would present much more opportunities. And I felt Norwich's central midfield was probably their weakest position last season.

Great move for Skippy.

Joe Hart would also be a ridiculously smart signing for us but I’ll wait until there’s a thread before we all start debating that one

Bit of a weird one, feels like this might invite way more media attention on a second/third choice goalie than is necessary...
Agree. Signing him is in an article by the Times. Too mouthie for me. Sounds like a Levy cheap deal and what does it say to Austin and Whiteman?

Homegrown 3rd choice on low wages, means Austin and whiteman can go on loan to grow rather than be 3rd choice playing no games

Go on loan and get some games... Only top 6 3rd choice keeper whose from the academy is Matt Macey at arsenal.

I do feel a bit bad for calling him a dandruff nonce when he kept timewasting at the Burnley home game at Wembley now

Nah he deserved it, the amount of abuse he got after Eriksen scored and he was just staring back at us fans behind the goal was pretty funny.
