How about Kelle Roos?
Thought he was very good and a very well rounded keeper, many will disagree but from the numerous keepers we used last season, I was most impressed by Roos.

There's no doubting Matthews has great potential (particularly in shot stopping) but IMO there are weaknesses - a bit flappy on crosses and being too cocksure with the ball at his feet. Whatever, Norwich rate him very highly and according to a colleague there is a very good chance of him being their number one next season.
I like Roos as well - not sure there was any notable difference in ability between he and Matthews.
I think I'm right in saying that Roos is available on a free this summer, might be worth looking at.

Will personally be very surprised if Roos isn't our No.1 next season

You seem confident he'll join then! Hoping you're right :thumbup: :thumbup:

Shock horror. football player makes 'errors'. Hold the front page. Were you at Northampton? Must have stopped at least four one on ones.

I was at Northampton. Remi may have got MoM but he was the best of a bad batch. He sliced at least one clearance and communication with the back four was non existent. Distribution was poor.
Having said that everyone had an off day that day, and even goalies are allowed mistakes. I would take Remi as our first choice if we got the opportunity, but Roos also deserves consideration. Best case would be that we get both in the squad next season and they compete for no.1 spot.
