He can't be a bad keeper not with the advertised history, and can I remind people we already have another lad from Sunderland now playing for us, so cant and am sure we aren't pre judging the boy, but replacing the best keeper in NL football is a big call.
The worrying thing is how the deal is being financed. With cash so tight as DG has said on record numerous times, can we afford to have Timms sitting on the bench which if he cant be loaned out or contract issues resolved I am guessing we may have to. In turn until a resolution is found this might mean we have to loan out another outfield player just to balance things which would be a bummer. It will actually be fascinating to see if Timms is actually involved or not this afternoon
