Better than Jordan Archer to be fair

I think it's a good move for us, buys us another year to either find a long-term goalkeeper or get Walsh out on loan (as well as Mahoney) and see how he develops. |  | | |

He’s very experienced and a talker so maybe just what our dopey defence needs to get organised. |  |

If we are after Begovic or any other keeper as no.1 i am guessing archer is back up, so Joe Walsh needs a loan to L1 or L2 or NL. He can't be sitting on the bench never going to get his chance for another full season after all the chattery about trying to get into squad and playing. Loan that is recallable? |  |

I hope this is true as he's as good as any we could bring in at the moment. |  | | |

I'd be very happy with this myself. Good keeper. Age not as important for keepers, good experience, our defence has been conceding for fun so a good head like this that will enforce standards. Hoping for a Derry / Hill type influence.. | |

Played for Chelsea eh? He will need a bloody good scrub down before coming near our brand new training ground then. | | | |

He probably wants to stay active in his twilight years.

Absolutely ridiculous if true. If you get rid of someone you need to replace them with someone better. Why are we signing a 36 year old who has barely played in recent times? Such a joke. This transfer window is going from bad to worse. Another nail in our relegation coffin. Sad times for our club. | | | |

He's been kept out the team by Jordan Pickford who's Englands number 1 so maybe that's a little misleading to moan how he hasn't played at first team level
He's pretty experienced so again the lack of recent first team football not such a major issue
Luton were also in for him which to me is another good sign
Also seems to be a big correlation between those moaning we have signed an old rather than a young goal keeper and those certain we are getting relegated
Surely if you think we are going down you don't need to worry about every single player being young (some will be Ziyad for example) but we also need to replace the lost experience (like Johansen)
This is the last season before blow out £20m loss roles out. Can spend on young keeper next year
Good signing for me this [Post edited 12 Jul 2023 8:05]

He won't sign - the club has ruled it out Asmir speculation. |  | | |

Also worth adding he scores better goals than Seny…

We’re down to the pauper’s options, Begovic deal or borrow. [Post edited 12 Jul 2023 8:31]

I mean why not just go the whole way and bring back John Burridge? |  | | |

It's a stop gap solution, but experienced keepers do well in this league overall. Was v impressed with Ruddy at Brum last year, and he's the same age. |  |

I gather that David Seaman is without a club at the moment. | | | |

Really? Best we can get at the moment, free & an upgrade on Seny's current ability.
Clearly wants to play as well | | | |

How's Archer going to improve though if he ain't trusted to play in league matches?
He might might as well leave. |  | | |

Archer seems to be content to be a no 2, rarely play and take the wages. As for improving, I doubt if he could now. | | | |

30 years old. A career number two goalkeeper, Brian Murphy-style, and frankly lucky to be that. | | | |

Also wonder the same about Joe Walsh, although he's still only 21 - anyone seen him play? |  |

Exactly I don't know why anybody should be complaining, we've lost a very good keeper for a good transfer fee and we are now picking up a quality keeper on a free transfer, ok so he's 36 but that means nothing as far as goalkeepers are concerned they get better with age like fine wine, supposedly.
Look we don't have a transfer budget and need somebody with experience to try and galvanise our ramshackle defence, on a short term deal whilst we plan for the future it works, it's all about survival this year and we need the right men in the trenches not some wet behind the ears he's a great prospect will be good in the future. | | | |

It was a joke mate. We were inevitably going to do something like this - as much as you can get for Dieng, replace him with a short term cheap option for one year, hope we stay up, then look to buy something better next summer. It's still fcking depressing though, no? | | | |
