Seemingly, Swansea only bid £500k for Jamal Lowe and it was reported that Wigan were prepared to accept £750k for him - that's someone who was a regular selection as an attacking player for a team that may have been relegated, but actually had a record which would have seen them finish thirteenth. The sheer lack of deals being done and figures like those I've quoted suggest a very depressed market in the Football League and I'm not sure that there will be many clubs below the upper echelons of the Championship who will be willing to spend seven figure sums on a goalkeeper.Originally Posted by Enoch Mort
A couple of things about City goalkeepers, are those writing off Joe Day basing their opinion on one game at Wigan or are they also going by what they saw of him at Newport? I thought Day was good at League 2 level, in County's FA Cup runs and, by all accounts, he did well in League One last season in a struggling AFC Wimbledon team. Also, I rated George Ratcliffe as City's best keeper with the ball at his feet when he was 16 or 17 - the mistakes I saw him make in that department were all to do with him being over confident because he was so comfortable with having to build from the back.
