The comical clearance at forest springs to mind

By the same logic we should also get rid of Bruno for that back pass again Preston and Knockaert for the countless amount of times he's decided to shoot when he should have passed to a player in another position.

All players are capable of making a mistake, but when a goalkeeper makes a mistake it usually ends in a goal being conceded.

Anyone who thinks we haven't already offered him new terms surely needs their head testing?

Only stumbling block is the length of contract.
He wants longer than we offered.

19 clean sheets, 3 penalty saves.

That exactly matches what I've heard, FWIW.

 

[albionfan37]

We have. (speaking diplomatically here) A deal is yet to be finalised.

Do you know if maapaa is staying also? Or are we promoting Walton up to number 2

 

[Dick Swiveller]

I assume you are like the two gimps I saw in Palace shirts around Eastbourne earlier. Nowhere to be seen for months and then 1 win against someone half decent and out they come.

To be fair, with the Albions track record on this, that's not a difficult guess to make.

It'll be nice to be in the premiership with one of a few English keepers who could develop into a full international.

Brexit Britain, innit. We're trying to get him to sign a zero hours contract together with joe hart so we'll have two keepers for the price of one. Genius.

 

[dazzer6666]

I expect it's the otherway round. If we go up then we'll be looking at a new keeper as he isn't good enough for prem football. Might as well give the opposition a 2 goal head start.

(Clueless) post of the week.

 

[sjamesb3466]

Another clueless JCL!

He proved that on Saturday with a pathetic half time flounce

He's just a troll. He proudly posted yesterday that he walked out of the game 10 minutes before half time. I suspect just a wind up merchant.

Not a very good one. Maybe just a *******

Haven't heard but I imagine he'd be delighted to be a Premier League keeper and we won't want to waste £££ signing a backup keeper.
Luton/Southend to top division is a pretty big step up. I doubt Walton will be first team squad next season.

 

[Badger Boy]

Christian Walton is perfectly capable of being our number 2 next season, he's a fantastic young goalkeeper.

Stockdale, however, is our number 1 as long as he wants to be. If he wants 3 years, we should give it to him because, worst case scenario, we go up and decide to upgrade him, there would be no shortage of Championship clubs willing to buy him. It's a no lose situation.

Give me a t - T
Give me an r - R
Give me me an o - O
Give me an l - L
Give me another l - L
and what have you got....

That's right a w@nker

I'm not suggesting that you're wrong, but I would enquire as to what gives you that degree of confidence in him, baring in mind that he's never played at higher than League 2?

He played League 1 just yesterday, and he played in the Championship for us. He's a cracking player who hasn't played many games, but Stevie Wonder can see he's a top class young goalkeeper. There's a reason he's been kept in the England under 21 set up. As back up to Stockdale he's more than capable, but I don't see Maenpaa sticking around to be third choice.

Joe Hart was in a similar position of not having played many games, so was David Seaman once upon a time and even Gigi Buffon had to start somewhere. His professional debut for Parma was against AC Milan as a 17/18 year old, every player has a debut. Walton is a quality goalkeeper, ask anyone who knows anything about goalkeepers.

Nice response!
I didn't realise he played yesterday.
I think we're in for a tough season 17/18 and I'd want more experience, personally. But I can't argue with your thoughts there.
