WLS report we are about to sign another goalkeeper., Joe Walsh is 18 and from Gillingham, the fee is £500k
Whilst Lumley is obviously off in the summer and Barnes is also out of contract this summer it seems strange to shell out half a million on a young 18yo goalkeeper.
I just don't see that our priority right now is another young goalkeeper. Any money that we have should be directed towards a left back.
Warburton has now confirmed that his arrival is very soon.
Hopefully, they now go out and get a decent left back/left wing back. The left back position is the weakest link in a team of weak links, we all know this, our opposition know this but our manager prefers signing goalkeepers and midfielders.
I had to go back a long way to find this thread....
Joe has joined Accrington Stanley on an emergency loan, initially for 7 days, to cover for both their goalies being injured. Wish him well as he lines up against Doncaster on Saturday.

Hopefully, he does well. Getting regular first team football has to benefit any player and its an opportunity for him to prove he should be part of our first team squad. Next season I would imagine that both our current first team goalies will be gone, so this is a big chance for Joe to prove he's worthy of playing regular first team football.
