    Saw this and don't know what to make of it really. £1m sounds really cheap for such an English prospect but equally it sounds a lot for someone so young.

    Longer term I'd have liked to have seen (assuming Krul leaves) Darlow and Woodman be our main two keepers.

    Eliot will move in the summer, of that I'm certain.

    ARSENAL and Southampton are weighing up move for Newcastle United goalkeeper Freddie Woodman, according to a report.

    Woodman will play for England’s Under-19s against France tonight in a European Under-19 Championship qualifier.
    The 18-year-old, son of Newcastle goalkeeping coach Andy, kept a clean sheet in the weekend’s 1-0 win over Azerbaijan.

    And MailOnline report that Arsenal and Southampton are tracking £1m-rated Woodman, who has been named on United’s bench a number of times this season.
    Newcastle, however, want to hold on to Woodman, regarded as one of the brightest young goalkeepers in the English game.

    He won't get a game at Southampton for a long long time Forster will be hard to shift

    We need to loan him out for a season or two like we did with Krul - then that gives us 2 seasons to see if he is any good and if Darlow is any good!

    "Longer term I'd have liked to have seen (assuming Krul leaves) Darlow and Woodman be our main two keepers."

    ACS I'd have Alnwick ahead of Woodman though. Think he could be surplus to requirements.

    As DPP says I'd loan him (and Alnwick ) out to give them experience.

    Alnwick should never be put in a keeper ever again. I have seen more than enough him to judge him accordingly and I'm afraid that judgement is that he a massive pile of ****.

    As Satan's PR man said, I don't think Alnwick will progress as some hope.
    There's something about the lad that doesn't inspire confidence.
    That said... he was thrown in at the deep and I haven't seen him much yet.

    :headbang: Feel sorry for any youngster wanting to play for us! In fact any player who doesn't start with a bang!
