Didn’t see him on bench Saturday was just Joe Whitworth and just seen on twitter he’s out for rest of season so I guess we will either recall Butland ? However I think I’m time Whitworth will be our Number 1 anyway , he’s defo got something about him from what I’ve seen Johnstone damaged a calf in training Just seen we are unable to recall remi matthews or Jack Butland so have no idea what we will do Edited by SwordFish (20 Feb 2023 9.36am)

Such a safe signing, such a horrendous first season. The two cup appearances at Oxford United and Newcastle? Think he's had more injuries than games. He's not even 30 until next month so he could easily be our first choice for the foreseeable years. Hopefully we can see more of him next year. Edited by ambrose7 (20 Feb 2023 11.33am)

Funny(or a coincidence) that a couple of click-bait sites are now reporting this . . . [Link] Also we are looking to sign Getafe's keeper in the summer . . . [Link] Edited by eagleman13 (20 Feb 2023 12.23pm)

We'll have signed three goalkeepers the exact same age (Soria, Butland and Johnstone were all born within 3 weeks of each other) in the space of two years, with Guaita consistently picked throughout. It was bizarre when we made Butland our number 3 given his salary and pedigree. Will we then do the same with Sam Johnstone, who was in the England squad 2 years ago and reportedly the other keeper Arsenal looked at when they signed Ramsdale? If we see Soria as the number 1 then fine, but why renew Guaita's contract, or sign Johnstone?

More to the point; if VG gets injured then we will have to rely on an academy custodian to step in between the sticks.

Back in day when I played kickabouts in the park we used to play the biggest kid amongst us in goal. Originally posted by YT

No choice anyway I think we will try for a loan of an experienced 'keeper as back up to VG. I like Joe Whitworth but it would be a real baptism of fire given that we are unlikely to be playing any meaningless games between now and the end of the season

Seems like another example of poor management, along with not having a full squad of 25 senior players and no real cover at left back. Remember the season when the transfer window closed and Benteke was the only proper forward and he then promptly got injured? Other Premier League clubs accept they need 3 senior goalkeepers. Indeed, Newcastle are needing to play their third choice in this weekend’s cup final. So why let Butland go out on loan? He is not even making the sub’s bench at Man U so difficult to see any benefit to him either. At least he would provide experienced cover should Guaita unfortunately get injured. Whitworth may well be the future, but as yet he has not played even one minute for the first team and yet could potentially be thrown in at the deep end having to play in end-of-season must-win games. Just don’t see the logic of creating potentially difficult situations such as this when they can be avoided
