I think you are right, may have been part of the agreement to join, as if starts well could get into WC squad

I have a very uninformed and personal theory that this season will be to test the water as to whether Johnstone is a capable no.1 and Butland still has something to offer.

I can imagine the hope being that Johnstone proves a very astute signing and steps up to be our main man and perhaps Butland may show that he can at least be a very good deputy if not push for a starting place. Guaita leaving his post must be inevitable whether it be competition, age or a move back to Spain.

Could all go t**ts up of course. I can very well envisage Johnstone being the only GK here the following season and us looking either for his deputy or a no.1 to start ahead of him again.

Here's to you the famous red and blue.....
