Lille are looking at Stek as a backup! Not sure that would be feasible leaving us with only Pickford as a first team keeper
Unless one of the youngsters is set to step up.

What are the odds that we would bring in Joe Hart on a season-long loan as backup to Jordan Pickford?

I'd rather bring Big Nev back as back up. Joe Hart seems to have completely lost it.

Very long I’d imagine.

OllBlue1878: Maybe, but we’ll need an experienced backup if Stek leaves and Hart would be available. Can you think of any other experienced goalkeeper who’s realistically available AND would accept the backup role?

Fair point Bobby, can't think of any. I think Hart will go somewhere to be number one though, even if he has to move abroad again.

OllBlue1878: You’re probably right. I do think the situation regarding cover for Pickford has “gone under the radar” because of all the other changes at the club and the speculation about so many outfield players.

One other thought: if not Joe Hart, what about Fraser Forster as cover?

Same wave length as me Bobbyc1878. Just about to mention Fraser Forster. The Saints letting him leave apparently. You don't want a back up who is just happy to be back up. He would push Pickford to his up most best I think.

I just do not like the guy. He's arrogant and speaks poorly. He's always been a bitter bloke and I really don't hear good things about him as a person. Seems to be unpopular 2ith players too. Why would we want him?

I’d have FF as cover. But I’d doubt he’d accept being #2.

Wonder if Ed001 could link his player profile about Forster? Might change a few minds.

{Ed001's Note - as requested: Fraser Forster player profile.

Ospina? Gomes? Ruddy? Randolph? there is 4 I would take as cover.
