Didnt think anyone actually got Howard on there kit.

You're always best waiting before getting names and numbers on kits until the squad and numbers are confirmed

I know , the last keeper kit he got was the Nike one with the new badge , he asked for Joel on that. He got the home one too with Barkley on the back , he best not be off either or I'm shy of £200 down the drain for nothing.

The moral of that tale is get your shirt printed in September.

Don't think heatons an improvement on what we have. Might as well wait til next summer

I doubt we'd be interested unless Howard wants to leave mate.

I'm not sure the Independent are spot on with what they say about Howard's kids either. He got divorced in 2010 and his ex remarried last year so I'm pretty sure his kids are living with her in the States. Having said that, if my kids were on the other side of the Atlantic I'd be looking to live a damned slight closer, so who knows ?

Fingers crossed , but I rate Heaton more than I rate Howard based on last seasons performances.

Heaton is alright.

That's about it.

It was in his biography that he flies over to the states a lot for them

For me Howard just doesn't make enough saves... Add his mistakes to that and he is just not good enough anymore. Like the guy though and maybe a move back to the states with his family is the best fit for all parties

The Heat is On Tim Howard you could say.

Burnley only conceded 53 goals last season ( us 50 ) That is a very decent record for a relegated side.

Another dodgy dream last night.

EFC one up against Watford, playing it side to side, not looking that fit. Long ball
and a bad bounce, Taleban goes down too early and they equalise.

Sorry, not Watford. Leicester away last season.

Great strikers win you games. Great keepers win you titles/trophies, especially in this league where commanding the area is important.
The season we finished 4th Martyn was magnificent. Southall the last trophy winning keeper.

True. It's definitely worth waiting for the right one, buy right buy once. Howard cost us plenty of points last season, and some games he even seemed hellbent on losing us points.

That's pretty much my viewpoint too.

I'll be honest, I've not seen him that much, but, despite his penalty save, I didn't come away from the Turf or Goodison thinking "What a cracking keeper" and the other bits and pieces I've seen of him on telly just make me think he's decent. Had a better season last year than Howard, but then again, who didn't ?

Could come in as back up to Joel.

If he is signed up as first choice id be a bit disappointed, but at the mo id take anyone ahead of Tim

Time Taliban Tim said good bye, imagine him walking into your Local carrying a
a Ruck sack,he would empty the place in 2 minutes, bye Tim.
