Smethdan, if Palmer is not good enough now, he probably never will be. Thisbis the third choice kepper role and we need tob start trusting our youth keepers and giving them clear pathways to develop, else there is no point having them here.

As I say, if Myhill signs on again, that will be 9-10 goalkeepers on our books. We need to atart making some decisions and not just stockpiling.

Your opinion and that's fair enough.
Make sure to tell those who still bemoan the departures of Wood, Turner, Roofe and to a lesser degree Sawyers.

As for Palmer he's not there yet but it doesn't mean he won't be in the next season or so.
By which time one of our current 25 year olds may have been moved on for a healthy profit.

West Brom are set to re-sign goalkeeper Boaz Myhill after he left the club earlier this summer when his contract expired. #WBAFC

[mini gaardsoe]

Confirmed

Ohhhhhhhhh (que Billy Smarts Circus music)

Job for the boys

[Fritzl Palace]

Distinctly unimpressed.

[Mister AT]

Signed a 1 year deal.

[AidantheBaggies]

Well he is ok as a back up i suppose................

[HampshireBaggie]

Queue the meltdown.

It’s effectively a coaching role if you think about it. 3rd place keeper is never getting on the pitch unless you have terrible luck. Allows Palmer to go out on loan.

In Cutler we trust.

[baggiebof]

Feels like a backward step after trying to change the old guard to an extent this summer but in reality Myhill as a 2nd or 3rd choice keeper is fine.

Bingo.

What would people rather - spend a few hundred grand on a bloke who will never play a la the lad from Sheffield. This deal makes perfect sense.

Not really, perfect sense would be keep Johnstone and Bond, send Palmer on loan with an immediate recall clause as the odds are if we call him back it will be to sit on the bench as he has done in the Prem. We don't need to spend money getting back a keeper we've had for years who has zero interest in playing and when he has played lately has been god awful.

Cutler wanted three keepers to work with, if that's the case best to keep one of the ones you already have.

Two senior keepers is a risk and one that not many clubs will take.

[AlbionFan]

I have to say, I’m not too unhappy about this.

It makes sense on several fronts, financial, playing and stability.

I remember when Foster broke his foot, at Everton if memory serves and Myhill stepped in and did a good job to the extent that many were saying Foster’s return to the first team shouldn’t be a given

Cutler shouldn't be calling the shots, he is a goalkeeping coach. Moore should be the one deciding how many keepers he wants.

I'd rather a young, hungry 3rd keeper than fat has been who is only interested in his wages each month.

[koren]

Just want to know his weekly wages for the new contract, hope we don't have a luxury no.3.

[Backofthenet]

Whilst some may say it's a good decision I'm not sure.
There's a suggestion that he will really be there as a coach - well we have one of those. If he gets on the pitch we are in bother.
We could have kept Yacob as a defensive midfield coach!!

How many times in the past 10 years have we actually had 3 senior keepers at the club? If Alex Palmer who turns 22 in 2 weeks isn't good enough to even be 3rd choice, its an absolutely mystery why he's still at the club.

New goalkeeping coach wants and gets. We don't have an obvious senior keeper, his experience will help Bond and Johnstone. He's also cheap, which given he wont be playing very often, if at all means it works out nicely in our favour.

Claudio chose to leave according to reports in the E&S by Matt Wilson

Palmer needs games though, the whole point of sending him on loan. Calling him back to sit on our bench is largely pointless in regards his development into hopefully a first choice goal keeper.

I agree and in 12 months time, when he’s had time to develope his game more, he is back with us and Myhill’s deal runs out is one positive scenario
