Smoking Kills Dancing Doe Would we get any of the keepers mentioned though? I don't even think Lewis is that good tbh. Ashdown is a fair shout, bout how would he take to playing week in week out again? It's been a long time. Plus I reckon a lot of clubs will be in for him, maybe even one of the promoted teams.
If we need to £2m then fair enough, much rather see Fed go than Sig or even Long. I just don't think there's a great deal out there that we could get. Like I said I actually think we'd take a risk on Hamer.
I don't think we'd be able to get any of those keepers no, apart from Lewis, who I agree might not be better over a whole season but is certainly his equal from the little I've seen. But I think we can probably get a better keeper than Federici, and I think it's something we'd need to do if we wanted to finish in the top 3 or 4 next season, ie be challenging for automatic promotion (which for the record I don't think is realistic at the current time - but might well be come August).
Good point on Ashdown though. He's never played a full season, and although I think he's got a lot going for him and appears to be the more steady and reliable type of keeper (a Hahnemann or Seaman rather than Federici or James), he may well find that difficult both physically and mentally. I doubt it though, but it could be a consideration.
I think he'll have a few offers too, and it's such a shame he left and has wasted a good few years of his career by sitting on the bench. Perhaps there's a lesson there for Federici too!
