Well tbf Theo all three keepers haven't played much so they are getting paid for nowt, so maybe they would allow them to come and subsidise their wages.
That being said we are apparently paying tino over 12k a week and we've seen nowt of him

According to my link he's on £27K. I too very much doubt we're paying all of that and there's no way we'd pay any of these three that don't even have splinters in their arses, as they don't even get on their own bench most of the time, their full whack either. At least we know Bilo has been playing reserve games.
Of "our own", Nicholls is reportedly the highest earner at £12K per week, Hoggy is next on £9.1K.

If you keep your hands in your pockets you don't catch many crosses.
If your young keeper does well it will be the making of him and might well save you from relegation. If it goes wrong for him it could be a train crash for all involved.
If you were looking for an experienced keeper, do the choices have to be as unimaginative as the three you've come up with? Darlow has lost his mojo and his judgement. Heaton was always over-rated even when he was at his peak, and Smithies, well he'd do a good job for Chesterfield ..............
Apparently the best English goalie is Jordan Pickford, isn't that enough incentive in itself to look beyond this country if you really ARE looking?
You want somebody for whom it would be a bit of an adventure towards the end of a career. Somebody who just wants to play .....

We didn't come up with them, the press or another fan forum did.

Darlow would have been a good suggestion not so long ago, but last time I saw him he looked completely at sea between the sticks.
The sort of suggestion I'd make would be (in view of your manager's experience ....) Nyland at Leipzig. I'm guessing he's third choice. His contract runs out in summer. He's only early thirties. His agent would obviously like him to be in a shop window. He's tall and looks the part. He was at Villa and several other English club. He's a Norwegian international. The only problem is that he's probably on good money at Leipzig - but to find a goalie with experience who might be available you are looking at third and fourth choices at big clubs paying good money ....... In his case you'd have someone trying to impress to get a contract somewhere in England.
When you are costing the weekly wage of a player brought in, surely part of the real cost is relegation and the immediate exit of the best half of your team? Pennywise and his mate Poundfoolish aren't just characters in a new Stephen King novel.
But probably you shouldn't listen to me on keepers. Last night I was groaning more than the sex noises as the TV pundidiots described Elliott's wonder goal. If I'd let that in it would have taken me a month to get over it. Sa was so aware that he had fckued up he couldn't even take off properly and never even came close to achieving the height required. Great opportunism, but a wonder goal? Just another result of attempting to make keepers into outfield players, so that they now have to be permanently forward and ready to clear up the mess when one of their defenders loses the ball, or passes to an opponent.

To be honest, so did I but apparently when Lineker gets his leg over Eeyore, Eeyore, Eeyore'lways makes that noise.

I'm pretty certain it will be Darlow coming in.
My info comes from the same place that told me
Tino was out for months before it became news
Nicholls needed surgery before the club even admitted it
Knockeart was signing a whole 2 weeks before he did
Hungbo was signing 5 days before he did
All pretty solid information

Now being told Darlow will probably go to Hull as they've offered a loan fee
