great news if true. If he plays well he’s a possible 30m keeper. It is great news, two good goalkeepers battling it out for the shirt, neither should be nailed on starters imo, two good goalkeepers competing for the shirt is very healthy

But is it in our gift to not extend Gunn's loan into the second season? Does that not depend on Southampton's agreement? Unless there is a clause in our agreement with Southampton which says that Gunn must play if fit, we only have to tell him and Southampton that he will be 2nd or 3rd choice and they will want to terminate the agreement and seek a post elsewhere.

Bursik and Davies as 1 and 2 ,not fussed about the order, let them battle it out. All we need is a solid older pro happy to sit on the bench for a season as emergency cover. Are John Burridge or Dave Beasant still available?😀

Nixon Sensible to part company with Gunn, be interesting to see if we offer Davies a contract extension as well as that will give an indication of where he is in the managers thinking. But if Bursik’s is our number one next season I’m all for it personally...

I’d feel sorry for Davies as he’s generally been excellent for us but would fully support Bursik being number one next season.
That’s the life of a goalkeeper I suppose, only one spot to play for.

Liking the noises though atm, gunn going back, a possible move for Wimmer, with a bit of luck.Allen to move on as he's not hit it off in his stay here and on a big wage

We could get some decent coin for Davies.
Out of all the players we could cash in on, I think he's one we could afford to let go. Plus letting Gunn return and either showing confidence in another young'n or offering Grant a year deal as No.2 to Bursik

Havent we still got young Blondy as a #2 (was on the bench a lot this season) to develop as well if we were rid of Gunn and cashed out on Davies?
I prefer Davies to Gunn all day but would rather see Joe play and be #1.
Worst case we bring in an experienced #2 / journeyman on loan for the bench

Bursik is good news along with getting out of the Gunn deal. As for Davies I'd like him to stay as number two but I could understand, if he wanted to go and get first team football.

Plus letting Gunn return and either showing confidence in another young'n or offering Grant a year deal as No.2 to Bursik If Grant can demonstrate he can still cut the mustard as a keeper, then him as number 2 to Bursik would probably be the ideal solution. I'd be sorry to see Davies go because he is a decent keeper, but as you said, we'd get a fee for him which would help us pay someone else's wages - or help give Powell the improved contract he deserves.

Worst case we bring in an experienced #2 / journeyman on loan for the bench Given the injury crisis we know that can happen, we need a decent number 2 at the ready. I think we’ll get another season out of Davies and if he’s on the bench for the majority then he will want off. Blondy certainly isn’t at the required standard to step in.

www.hampshirelive.news/sport/football/transfer-news/southampton-goalkeeper-newcastle-united-transfer-5449511Angus Gunn will return to the club for pre-season training after a season on loan with Stoke City. It had previously been mentioned that the 25-year-old would head back to The Bet 365 Stadium next season but that agreement appears to have collapsed. The goalkeeper, who is understood to be of interest to newly-promoted Premier League rivals Norwich City, will assess his options later in the summer after being given the all-clear following a brief injury scare

Good news if true we have 2 perfectly good keepers and the wages saved can be spent on another position.

www.hampshirelive.news/sport/football/transfer-news/southampton-stoke-norwich-city-transfer-5451463Southampton and Stoke City scrap loan agreement amid Norwich City transfer interestAngus Gunn will report to Southampton, not Stoke City, for pre-season training later this summer ahead of the new Premier League season.
The 25-year-old goalkeeper was set to return to Staffordshire for another season on loan as part of a verbal two-year agreement.
Upon his arrival at the Bet365 Stadium in October, Stoke and Saints agreed that, all things being well, Gunn would remain between the posts for the Potters for the 2021-22 campaign.
But after a rare injury blow saw him back at Southampton receiving treatment, it was agreed that he would not return.
Saints are keen to ensure that Gunn will land first-team game time should he depart on loan once again this summer, but the club could opt to sell him should they land a suitable offer for his services, allowing him the chance at a fresh start elsewhere.

Can't see Davies being too pleased at being number 2 and may seek a move if so. Has he got long left on his contract? Unless they've snuck another year on quietly, he's one of the big gang who've only got a year left. So looks like it's quite a big call what to do with him. He certainly won't want a season on the bench or be in any hurry at all to extend if he's not No.1. So do we sell him this summer if Bursik is going to be No. 1? - and how much of a market would there be for him? Can't see anyone willing to pay big for him

Can't see anyone willing to pay big for him I can definitely see him moving on, I reckon circa 500k and he could be off with us bringing in an experienced Lee Grant type on a free to be no.2 / mentor for Josef.

What's the rush to 'bin' Davies? He's done pretty well for us, can't see him generating a big fee and there's no guarantee that Bursik has overtaken him yet. Is Grant the same player we saw here three seasons back?
The club has twelve months to allow the two to go head to head. That'll do me. Let's get the midfield sorted first and someone younger to rotate with Fletch.

There's no rush to "bin" him but it would make sense if we were to sell him should the plan be to make Bursik no.1 next season but it's all purely hypothetical. Davies is entering the final year of his contract and you'd imagine wouldn't be too keen on being Joe's no.2, so it wouldn't be beyond the reals of possibility that he could be sold in order to generate some funds. Again you've not read properly what was said, Lee Grant was merely used as an example of the type of older head no.2 that could be brought in to partner Bursik, it was never said go and sign Grant.
