Just checking on when was the earliest we've announced a Bosman free transfer
We announced Bardsley on 22nd May, Darren Fletcher on June 1st and Diouf June 11th - all "effective at the end of their current deal on July 1st"

Would be nice to annouce something early, especially a key signing like this one. Also thought he's looked excellent for an extremely poor team. Ranks in the highest GK for most stats too

I've seen him as a good shot stopper but Rotherham have never needed to play out from the back. I wonder if his distribution footwork and passing might be a risky unknown.

Number 1 priority is to stop goals. Good distribution is a Brucey bonus I don't think that is true anymore. Iverson pushed up as he got his minutes up and gave us 15 yards we had conceded before. We were then subsequently less susceptible to the ball over the top. If we are playing a 4 next year a sweeper keeper and someone who allows us to break the high press is a necessity.

Number 1 priority is to stop goals. Good distribution is a Brucey bonus Number 1 priority is to score far more goals However this looks like a sensible signing if we an pinch him If not go get Iversen

We should have kept and played, Adam Davies The same Adam Davies who has played a grand total of 10 games (including cup matches) in the last 2 seasons, for whatever reason. Hardly a glowing reference.

I advocated us signing Johansson two years ago, but now I’m not too sure. He’s had some great games against us but is he that good? I’m starting to warm more towards Iversen if it’s possible.

WhoScored had him as the third best GK in the league last season with people who have played more than 20 times

theanalyst.com/eu/2023/08/championship-stats-2023-24-opta/He comes in joint 5th in Opta's goals prevented metric - behind Hermansen (Leic 6.7), Gunn (Norwich 6.6), Rushworth (Swans 6.3), Cooper (Plym 4.7) and level with Patterson (S'land 4.3) For what it's worth, Bonham actually scores well (2.6) Travers not so much (-0.4) ....and Iversen poor (-2.3) in about 25th or 26th of players with a decent chunk of minutes With Begovic really poor (-6.8) and the Soton keeper, Bazunu, by far the worst (-11.5)

Other than 2 home games, 1 away game and numerous 2 minute clips of Rotherham on the EFL on Saturday nights I can’t provide a realistic opinion.
So for me if he does sign its fingers crossed

Get him in, or at least use this speculation as a way to get Iversen cheaper.
