I thought we'd be in for 2 keepers as well. Happy with Ed for time being no-one better with their feet for our system. Need to stop with the gk rotation Ortega gets LC and fa cup that's it unless we have injuries. Can see us replacing both next summer on the basis that Ortega stays this window which is not guaranteed

Not happy, should have got Trafford, Ed seems less reliable & Ortega is a fuck up waiting to happen.

Trafford would be ok as a number 2. He's not a patch on even a less reliable Ed. Trafford was shit when Burnley were last in the PL.

Trafford is 22, thats quite young for a keeper. Not too many keepers even near their best at 22.

He did not have the team around him to play out from the back and was continually exposed last time in the PL. He would not have come back to us as a no.2 imo. Think we will go big next time on Eds replacement
