Following the success of speculating we would go in hard for Josh Murphy on that thread the other week, thought I would give you my thoughts on a highly likely loan move for your specialist area of goalkeeper!

Following Villa's non promotion, I think it is highly likely that one of our major loan deals will involve Sam Johnston of Man Utd. It will no doubt irritate Warnock that he will lose the services of Etheridge in January and I feel we are nailed on to make a loan move for him. I get the feeling Jose may feel he has the potential someday to be United's number one and won't sell but would be open to a loan deal that will see his goalkeeper stepping up from the Championship for on the face of it is likely to be a busy season for whoever is between the sticks for us! Lost count of the number of interview's on ifollow last season where Warnock waxed lyrical about him.

We may however wait until the fixtures are released tomorrow, as if we're due to play United in January, we may have to play Dibble in goal come January!

My other punt is left field at best! I see Danny Gabiddon on social media recently hinting at an imminent deal and yesterday again stipulating it was in addition to Cunningham. I am more than likely putting 2 and 2 together and making 5 here, but I have a gut feeling that it could be his good mate the Ginger Monster! A position where we are well served and a player at the tail end of his career will no doubt get a mixed reaction at best! However, as free transfer's go, an experienced premier league centre back in the mould our manager loves, it would come as no surprise to me whatsoever!
