Adam Federici available on free, good experienced keeper, don’t think he’d be too bad a shout for us, in the short term at least. 

If it’s a loan deal we’re after I’d turn my attentions to Sarkic. 

Hasn't played regularly since 2014-15 season, personally i'm always suspicious of keepers like that.  Happy being backup and picking up a wage.

See Danny Rogers for similar.  27 appearances in 3 years - 7 career top flight appearances.

I think we'll announce Rogers shortly then start the season with what we have now. Having lyle as only backup keeper isn't ideal but how else will he get better if he never plays.

Window is open till October i think so Dyer can have a look at loans that may become available. 

Premier league back up loan who not chance start first team 

walton from Brighton (Ex loan to Wigan )

marcus Bettinelli from Fulham

Honestly would prefer a keeper on a permanent deal anyway, canny have a key component of the spine of the team not being our player imo. Bachmann great keeper for us wish him the best, but a safe pair of hands and even just competent goalkeeping makes a big difference. Shouldn't be too hard to improve given the situation last year with the keepers we had.

One year deal and confirmed to be in goal this weekend. Now to wait and see if he will be our first choice for the season with Lyle as backup or whether we will look to sign another keeper whether on a permanent deal or a loan.

....  BUT other keepers from England may well be getting released SOON, but not now, so we.csnt move for these types yet.

Most players whose contracts expire this summer would have been available from 1 July. 

Only some players in the EPL, Championship and L1 and 2 play-offs had their contracts extended until the revised end of season. 

The number of goalkeepers in this category is quite large. Ben Amos (Charlton), Norman at Fulham, who we know about,  Declan Rudd of Preston who would be out of our price range but is a good keeper, Jonathan Bond (WBA) has over 100 first team appearances. 

My mate’s nephew, Mark Howard, is a free agent. Previous Scottish experience at Aberdeen, St Mirren and Falkirk. I wouldn’t be doing my duty if I didn’t mention him! 

I’d prefer that we looked at the loan market from the EPL. Clubs have five or six keepers on their books and there must be some future stars amongst them. 

So far, we have only one player on loan, which is a big improvement on recent years. Another wouldn’t do any harm, especially in a specialist position. 

Findlay has spoken recently about the debt he owes the club for giving him a second chance. If we haven’t offered him a contract extension, someone needs  chasing.

If your giving him the armband then we need a longer contract than a year, all your doing is kicking the can down the road.

The club needs to be run properly and have a selection of key players tied down long term.

That’s not a feasible business model for any club our size. Aspirational (good) players will always move on.

I’m interested to see what we do about the keeper situation now. The initial idea seemed to be get two keepers of similar ability and let them fight it out for the jersey. IMO that was out the window with Bachmann mentioned and he’d come in as first choice. Do we now go back to plan A and find someone to challenge Rogers or do we explore markets to get a recognised first choice?
