Well that's true. I was having a similar conversation with my mates last night. I was reading an article that mentioned "...former England international Michael Ricketts."Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 8:32 amI think that's pushing the boundaries of truth somewhatbiggeordiedave wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 8:08 am

. He has one cap - 45 mins of a friendly match against the Netherlands. While it's true that he is a former England international, I think it's a bit of a stretch referring to him that way, especially when you would refer to someone like Alan Shearer or David Beckham in the same way .Isn't darlows contract up soon as well?TJR wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 8:49 amSensible move. As other have pointed out a homegrown player to replace Elliott as third choice. He'll probably never play for us and will be very little in terms of wages. No transfer fee involved as well.
Also it allows Woodman to go out on loan again to continue his development, unless we sell Darlow.

Lee Hendrie was on that ITV show a few weeks back where Harry Redknapp took a load of ex internationals to play exhibition games round Europe. John Barnes, Des Walker, Lee "15 minutes in a friendly" Hendrie.biggeordiedave wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 8:58 amWell that's true. I was having a similar conversation with my mates last night.

I'm assuming Darlow will probably be off in the summer.Toondes wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 9:24 amWoodman ?biggeordiedave wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 8:08 am

Come on, you can't tell us that and not elaborate...Remember Colo wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 2:07 pmDon't read some of the ridiculous conspiracy theories and debates about Gillespie on less...reasonable forums/blogs than this. They brought in an okay local keeper who will be content being third choice and potentially never playing. Every club needs one, and there's certainly no point in wasting a young keeper's developmental time in the role.

I'm doubtful any team entering or already in the PL would want to go into the season with an on loan young keeper as their first choice. Keepers are too affordable to not make a bigger investment in the position. Or at least clubs will likely be too risk-adverse to take that leap with a player they're not even investing in the future with.lassassinblanc wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 2:52 pmThink Darlow has another year on his contract, but can see BigGeordieDave says him being sold come the summer.
Is Woodman good enough to be number 2 for us next season? Will he want to be is more the question I'd have.
Woodman has done very well at Swansea and I know from contacts from there they've expressed an interest in taking him again next season, again this depends on what Woodman himself wants to do.
I think best case scenario is Darlow staying for another year and Woodman going out on loan again next season getting another year under his belt be this with Swansea in Championship though I'd like to see him tested at PL level best case would be Swansea getting promoted via playoffs as I doubt he'd get or maybe Leeds would interested I believe they enquired about him before.
Maybe I shouldn't have called them that, but it was a lot of bickering about cheap Ashley, Saudis wanting local lads, etc. Making it out to be so much more representative that the club just grabbing a safe third choice keeper to fill out the squad.

I think it's a little different when he was their keeper for the previous Championship season. So sticking with what got you there and knowing what they have makes sense, also knowing that he's not going to be called back by Man U and they can basically keep him for as long as they want, likely makes that more attractive for the club.ALF wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 6:20 pmDean Henderson...Remember Colo wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 6:12 pm

Based on his performances this season, I wouldn't be so sure Man U wouldn't call him back for next season. De Gea still has obvious quality, but he's dropped a level from what he once was. Not saying Henderson would slot in their straight away, but he seems a confident lad and has made noises about wanting to be number 1 at Man U. Other than that, I agree with sticking with what you've got after they got promoted. I do wonder who Sheffield will go for if they lose Henderson, especially if they get into Europe.Remember Colo wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 6:41 pmI think it's a little different when he was their keeper for the previous Championship season.

Yeah that is true to be fair. But Leeds will have seen what Woodman can do this season. If they need a keeper there's no reason why they'd not go for a loanee if they think he's good enough. Not like there's much out there that isn't a gamble.Remember Colo wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 6:41 pmI think it's a little different when he was their keeper for the previous Championship season.

. The thing that will be throwing people is that he's 28 which means he has a good few years left. I'm assuming he's getting more out of this deal personally than just getting paid for never playing. Coaching experience or something maybe. He seems to be very highly though of by Carlisle and Motherwell fans.
