Stoke are apparantly weighing up a £2 million bid for Sheffield Wednesday keeper Lee Grant.

On the basis I think we could secure the services of Smithies for not much more than 2 million, I hope we stay clear. Grant is a decent goalkeeper though, but he's fairly unproven at this level. I'm sure we've been linked with him in the past haven't we ??? Can't see it myself.

Burnley are favourites to get him (Brian Laws link). Man Utd were rumoured to be after him in the summer and he has improved alot since leaving Derby. Perhaps we could use Soares as bait in a potential deal?

Well according to the Mirror James is pretty much a done deal so i dont know where this has come from. Really dont know why we keep getting linked with keepers its a decent bloody midfielder and striker we need!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But in those games he didn't really show anything to suggest he's better than what we have, so I can't see him ever forcing himself back into our first-team picture. Other than a good half against Spurs at the brit, he's never really impressed me. It's best for all partys if we try and move him on permanently IMO, although we certainly are going to have to take a loss on the 1.25 Million we paid for him. |

I hope so as good as James can be on his day i think we are much better off with Sorro. Age one and alot cheaper wages.

Seen Grant play many times here in Sheffield
Best keeper in the Championship I'd say. He makes up the top five with Paddy Kenny, Steve Harper, Andy Lonergan and Lee Camp

I can't comment on how good he is but if other Prem club are interested he can't be bad. What he does have in his favour over Smithies and James is his age. Smithies (good though he is) is probably too young to just slot into the first team and James has another season left in him at most. At 26 and with plenty of games under his belt Grant should hit the ground running and if he cuts the mustard could be our number 1 for years to come.
It all seems to point to a bid for Sorro from Munich in the next two weeks though. If he does go and if Simo leaves in the summer we'll still need another decent keeper as number 2 before next season starts.

I cant understand this one, especially if the James deal is very much still on?
Surely if we sign James, then there is no need for another keeper, unless Tommy is off.
We'd have James, Sorro, Simmo, Grant, Danzelle. Thats five keepers!?!
