He's decent. There might be better options. Let's just wait and see.

Not for me. May be having a good season, but not much of an upgrade to what we have.
And Burnley would want 20mil+ I think we can get better than him
Wasn't that what Cech was suppossed to give Arsenal? Heaton no better than Robles, if we're signing a keeper it needs to be someone a level above.
I have to disagree with that
Heaton is first team quality for a top side, Robles is back up at best

Heaton is having a good season but I remember Marshall had a good season a few years ago when Cardiff got promoted and look at him since. Not sure Heaton is all that.
Disagree here Mikey.
Robles is a very good and solid keeper!
If we were to go out and replace him it needs to be a keeper that will be a significant upgrade and win you points on his own.
Heaton is doing that at the moment for Burnley as he is constantly in the action- think Marshall at Cardiff 2-3 years ago.
Being a keeper who is called upon when not having much to do for long periods of the game is something different (Mignolet at liverpool a great example of that).
We need to be looking at what spurs did when they swapped Brad Friedel for Lloris, at the time Friedel was dependable and seen as one of the better keepers in the league, they then went and got Lloris even though there keeper position was not an issue because he was Lloris and one of the best around
Heaton has had more than one good season tbf
The last time he was in the PL he did well too. In fact, I recall him making some excellent saves when Burnley came to Goodison that season
Heaton
Van Dijk
Tierney
Loftus-Cheek
Decent back up striker
The the title will be ours
What will Tierney do in the 2/3 years he is waiting for Baines to retire?
Personally, I think he'd get plenty of minutes if he stayed here, especially if we're lucky enough to be in Europe and are fighting on four fronts
And if not, we could always agree to loan him back to Celtic for a season if he doesn't go straight into the first team

He could Take baines starting position next year. Baines has been an excellent player and is on a good current run of form but hasnt been pushed in the slighest for his place. Tierney is well capable of pushing him if he maintains his progress.
True, i do agree with you that he will be a great replacement long term for baines.
I just think he is to good to come in and be somebody's understudy, but baines is still baines and been excellent on this run of unbeaten games, and the majority of the season actually.
Its what sort of damaged Garbutt, waiting around to long to get a chance and is now either under developed or in interested.
Personally i think the RS should of thrown 20million at Celtic and that would of solved there left back problem
Baines has not been pushed for his place in pretty much 6-8 years and in that time he was probably one of the best left backs in europe.
i dont think leighton is the type to not perform to his best ability for us just because he is guaranteed a place.
As the banner said last season "Baines is one of us"
