He is playing right now for St Mirren!
We should go after Etheridge in my opinion.
Re: Alnwick 'appears done'
Some comments from St Mirren supporters. They rate him. Lets give him a chance. https://twitter.com/bawarmy/status/1...qrUN1EcIMc7n4Q
Re: Alnwick 'appears done'
Are all his words constantly going to be used in some weird way to have little digs at him?

Etheridge was good for us and is a really good shot stopper but he is not suited to the modern game. The only keeper less adept with his feet I can remember was Ryan Day, at least in the horrific opening day cameo he had for us at Wigan away. If we are moving away from the bang it 80 yards and win the 2nd ball approach then he is not the answer.

Re: Alnwick 'appears done'
As far as ability with the feet the keepers ability with his feet is the least of our worries. Some defenders with the ability to play out from the back would be nice.
Re: Alnwick 'appears done'
Statistically one of the best keepers in the Scottish league apparently. Also seems highly rated by St Mirren fans.
Out of contract so we’re getting him on a free. Seems like a solid signing.

Could be a very shrewd signing

Small risk with a good upside.
Happy with it

For all we know, Alnwick might turn out to be an excellent signing. Nonetheless, personally, it didn't give much me much of the forecasted buzz.
I'm intrigued to know who the Bellamy (or above?!) signing will be.

As an aside, I'm happy (and I guess most others) that we're having this mass in/out of players. One reason of this changing of the guard comes from the club not having a fixed style of play between managers. Of course cost cutting is another.
Not having the consistencey was really apparent with MM, OGS and Slade. Slade would have been better off with MMs team rather that of OGS (if he'd been allowed to keep players).
We can only hope that the manager after Morison shares some of his ideas so at least we can make good use of the players already at the club.
Re: Alnwick 'appears done'
I keep on reading on twitter about the fans who are criticising the Alnwick signing, but I've yet to come across anyone who is actually doing that - I don't see how anyone can be critical when we know so little about him. He may turn out to be crap, but, for now, it seems that any criticism, if there is any, must be down to the club he played for and the league they play in.
Re: Alnwick 'appears done'
A neat bit of business, Morison-style.

I bet if it was a equal league abroad with a more exotic name, we'd get a bit more excited
Can't wait to see him play - but is he first or second choice?
Re: Alnwick 'appears done'
Having watched very little football outside of City, my gauge for whether a player is good or not is whether the club’s fans are sad that they’re leaving. They’re not happy so I am.

I’d guess he’s going to be the number one choice.
