Along the same lines, I am still mystified that we spent 10M on Richards, but he hardly gets a look in and his value must have dropped quite a bit. Seems odd that he sits on the bench while Wardy gets roasted by every team we play.

Perhaps we will sell SJ for a massive profit and then get Henderson in with the view to do the same with him in a couple of years?

I wondered if we signed the wrong Henderson. We were probably after Jordan but got mixed up.

We couldn't even get Dickie Henderson.

£10m for squad player is low.

It's not that hard to work out.
Goalkeeper and sub goalkeeper are the two most important positions to fill in any Premier League squad.
A mid twenties England international was available for between ten and twenty mil and Guaita had downed tools.
Ask Leicester and Leeds fans what they think of the signing. Their GKs Ward & Meslier got them relegated last season IMO.

Why? we've got a good replacement when we sell SJ for a world record fee.

I heard that Johnstone’s family couldn’t settle in London and wanted to move back up north so a move for Henderson made sense at the time. Since then he’s obviously realised South London is wonderful.

I'd rather have Whitworth and a decent right back/ competition for Mitchell, we could have Neuer and Donnarumma as our keepers and they would struggle with our full backs.

Insurance. Its not a position you can gamble with. We need two keepers and one back up.

I think Joe Whitworth is a really promising young goalkeeper but that's an enormous / silly gamble and he's not done anything yet to justify that kind of blind faith. He could go in, lose confidence and get us relegated on his own which is the point I was making.

Well as he's done for an academy player I'd be looking for an upgrade on Mitchell. He gets himself into some good attacking positions but doesn't find enough quality IMO. OK defensively.
