McGill is unlikely ever to play another first team game for us. He's there because he's capable, doesn't seem to mind being third choice and doesn't cost us huge wages. He's not at the club because he's seen as a future first team keeper, I'm certain of it.

Beadle and Rushworth: potentially, though perhaps Rushworth gets sold this summer to an eager Championship side for a fair few pennies. The others are all too young to say, but will doubtless get U23 games and loan time.

At least we're not Palace, who are evidently on a mission to sign all the keeper who are not quite good enough for England. They're down to their last two now, after letting Butland go in the summer, but surely there's a good chance we'll see Nick Pope end up at Selhurst once Newcastle eventually decide his footwork isn't good enough for their aspirations of global domination. And Fraser Forster on a free in the summer.
You’ve forgotten Alex McCarthy who must be on the potential Palace England Failed Goalkeepers list

Do you think it's more cost effective to train ten keepers than 2 or 3? Once the infrastructure is in place the marginal cost of training an extra keeper must decrease. Another prudent move from Anthony.

Gauci is Adelaide's first choice keeper, is 23 years old, and is a full Australia international, so will command a significantly higher transfer fee. It's a completely different signing - a back up senior squad keeper (which we absolutely don't need) rather than a young prospect.

Goalkeeper Steven Hall is currently with the Australian U-23 side as they compete at the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup in Qatar. They drew 0-0 with Jordan on Monday and lost 1-0 to Indonesia today. Hall has been an unused sub so far.

Bottom of the group, they will do well to qualify from this position.

The Australian U-23s could only draw 0-0 with hosts Qatar yesterday meaning they failed to progress from their group (in fact they failed to score a goal in their three matches).

Hall was unused on the bench again so didn't see a minute of playing time in the three matches.
