    Either of those would be a clear upgrade

    Would seem a clear upgrade on our current options. But he's still Wolves' number 1, right?

    They're replacing him with Sam Johnstone.

    Presumably they think that's an upgrade for them... Sa is only 30 though, same age as Johnstone and both are in their prime really, so I'm a bit surprised they're willing to move him on, wonder if there's more to it. Doubt he'd come cheap but feels like a position we may need to spend big on.

    Do we know who's decision it was that Brice wasn't worth the contract demands

    It wasn't just money...but there were no major problems that were insurmountable.

    We just didn't really fancy him enough.

    The list of "clear upgrades" is not a short one.

    I hadn't forgotten him, and would likewise like to know why we let a now French international slip through our fingers. It's done now, but your point is well taken.

    That said, we recruited better keepers in 2022/3 than we were able to in the most recent window. So there's a more recent fuck up which also needs looking at.

    Well it wouldn't have helped him being on a quarter of what Horvath came in on, with no prospect of even a discussion of a pay rise.

    I've no reason to think you've made that up, and assuming it is true, it's baffling on all sorts of levels.

    I don't think there is adequate football expertise in our price setting value judgements. That might explain it in part. Think it was four something, versus 20k.
