Dazza82 Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 Hate the fact we have to look through loads of post on that transfer thread!! Shrewsbury are good at finding young keepers that where Hart started Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 I'm going to make the obligatory "my mate is a Shrewsbury fan" post here. My mate is a Shrewsbury fan and his Dad, who is a season ticket holder, thinks Lewis is just as good as Hart was at the same age. So, taking the word of one person, I'm going to state he'll be a future England star and we should snap him up given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 His grandfather is Ken Mulhearn, who was the Man City keeper when they won the league in 1968. Shrewsbury also being the club Man City got Joe Hart from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintTex Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 I figure any English GK prospect worth his salt would salivate going to a club in which the goalkeeping coach is also the goalkeeping coach for England. On the face, this is a good speculative signing. I figure Watson knows plenty about the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 good young keepers who can develop into a Prem. level custodian are VERY few. It takes many years - and a lot of patience - to get someone who can stay the course. The vast majority of goalies we've signed in the last 30+ years have been established keepers with a career background . If this lad is as good as is rumoured - it'll be interesting to see him develop, but with Dave Watson as goalie coach ....just maybe ....this time. Only 17.... but we can see how quickly he makes it to the U21's. In the past 10 years we've tried Bart, Chris Johns, Cody Cropper, and of course the notorious Tommy Fourpast. Gazzaniga has never been convincing and is on the last year of his contract....and we may see him going out on loan for the remainder of that.

norwaysaint Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 Aren't saints a bit of a graveyard for promising young keepers? I can't think of one who's come to anything with us. Bialkowski, Smith, Blayney, Bevan, Poke, Gazza, Cropper, all failing to come to anything. Whereas our successes have all been mature keepers on arrival. Hope this guy bucks the trend.
