When Howard leaves I think we should try and sign Bernd Leno (23) from Leverkusen.

I was just reading that his contract runs until 2017 so by this summer Bayer will be in the 'one year left on his contract so lets cash in now while we still can' boat meaning he'd probably be cheaper than say Jack Butland. There will almost certainly be competition for his signature (been linked to the RS) but if we prioritise his signing then we could have the position sorted for the foreseeable future.

TLDR - Whoever we get to replace Howard we have got to be prepared to pay the price for quality.
 
We were never going to sign a first choice keeper in January. Also, no one wanted Howard this month, if a team genuinely wanted him now im sure things would have been different.

Whos going to let their first choice keeper leave in January to sign for us? No one.
Eaxctly right. Especially the last bit, people seem to think just because we have some money teams will just let their top class keepers go for 15m in the middle of their season.

Leverkusen's in the Champions League most years. Why would Leno want to come to us?
