Apparently we have signed a promising kepper joe Hilton from man city. As anyone heard of him. Does this mean Joel is our new 1st choice.

Alongside Howard and Joel we now have - if you look at the club website's list of players - ten young (U-21 and U-18) goalkeepers on our books: Stanek, Griffiths, Hunt, Hewlett, Gray, Jones, O'loughlin, Pierce, Johnson and Hilton.
You'd think (well hope at least! ) that at least one or two of them would develop into first-team goalkeepers, but you have to wonder why we need so many since we've only two teams (U-21 and U-18) playing football at these levels and you can only realistically play one goalie (and one sub) each match.

According to a report I read Hilton is 16 and 6 feet five inches tall. By the time Tim Howard's contract is up Hilton should be about 7 feet tall. I believe the goal is 8 feet tall, if he gets much taller he might have to duck under the bar. Either way I am sure Tim will teach him how to flap at crosses.

He's probably hoping one or two of those goalies will develop into left backs.
