Keeper’s different from a winger though innit? A young winger can make some short impactful appearances but if we sign a keeper we want them to be number one and play most games, otherwise we might as well stick with the three we have.It would be interesting to see a Venn diagram of the people questioning Beadle’s age with those who don’t want to loan out Goodrham. Not drawing any conclusions or passing any judgement, but it’d be interesting.
What would Akinola coming in mean for Josh Johnson? Seem to be of a similar age profile and and both deep lying midfielders. Imagine that would be JJ out the door, which seems a shame.
I can appreciate the differences, but I just find it interesting that the goalkeeper’s age seems to matter and Goodrham’s seemingly doesn’t.Completely different scenario tbh, there are plenty more opportunities from the bench , to be rested , or coming on as an impact player for generally attacking players especially where you can manage their playing time.
With a GK you just don't really have that option as you really don't want to be swapping keepers every other week or give them 20 minutes!
If you look in the leagues there are many younger forward players in and around first team squads .....very few goalkeepers . And defenders generally.I can appreciate the differences, but I just find it interesting that the goalkeeper’s age seems to matter and Goodrham’s seemingly doesn’t.
Kane Wilson doesn't look like he'll be coming here.

Yes but at what age do they start to decline? Are you saying a keeper at 25 has slower reflexes than an 18 year old?Re Goalkeepers and age , a known fact as you get older your reflexes decline , in fact no different to outfield players loose pace as they get older and are more prone to niggles with injury .
Example Rooney played for Everton at the age of 16/17 look how he turned out !
Hope not!
