My real worry is we will receive interest in Bart during the summer and the club will cash in.
The real issue is Mick has activated the pickles extra year on his deal and has already spoken about tying him down to a longer term deal. It really would be worst case scenario if Mick views Gerken as a number 1 keeper for a potential play off side.
Think it has now been proven, without doubt that Bart is the best keeper at the club and one of the best in the league. Gerken is fine as back up, but is not a number 1 keeper, or shouldn't be.
If Bart goes I would expect Mick to sign a new number 1 and not someone to battle Gerken for the spot. |  | | |  |

The Gerken arguments have already started and Bart is still here.
100% Gerks will be number 1 next season, and the more he fcks up the more MM will defend him, and more the MM crew on here will back MM for backing Gerken.
Gerken has had run ins with fans in past (Lincoln most recent) he's easily distracted and takes his mind off the game, no where near good enough as a full time number 1 |  |

What was his run in at Lincoln? Thought he did ok that night and was 1 of the only 1's who did.
Pickle is ok as back up, but if Bart is sold I would expect Mick to sign a proper number 1 to replace Bart, as Gerken isn't good enough for a play off chasing team | | | |

Completely agree. Good shot stopper, but has no control of his area. Poor on crosses. Defenders have noticeable less faith in him. Overall a very average keeper. | | | |

Bart is Fulham bound unless someone else comes in but family settled in Ipswich, so commuting distance only being considered. Heard it hear first. |  |

Had a go back at the fans after the full-time whistle when the fans were rightly giving the team pelters. |  |

He actually looked better yesterday than he has for a while. The context makes it hard to judge much, but bad keepers don't save penalties like that too often either. It was relatively impressive and compared to O'Donnell at the other end Gerken was a step up by some distance.
I think Bart's kicking is the reason he's at Ipswich at all. If he had the all round game he'd be well beyond us and many Champ clubs too. He was a real gem, but also has had spells of poor form and improvement like most players.
If we had Gerken and say Crowe next year the only benefit would be the assumption we'd use the funds on those in front of them. We've got lots of youth keepers coming through too which makes the position slightly interesting. |  |

My in laws are his neighbours on Mill Heath and his wife loves it around here, as you say if he does go it will be to clubs within a commutable distance I'd say. |  |

Was told Palace about a month ago. But no idea if that was anything more than someone looking at google map and guessing. What's their keeper situation even like these days?
Bart is clearly a devoted Dad given his tweets are pretty much that his glove sponsors. I can't imagine he'd do 5 nights in a flat and spend the days off in Ipswich etc. But then for 5 x times your wages working away from home isn't that unusual or a bind is it? | |

Palace still have the chance of being relegated so I guess it will depend on that although, as you say, wages would be a hell of a lot more than he is getting at Town. |  | | |

Bart seems like a top chap and a great family man. However, given his wage is likely to more than double and he's moved from the South coast to Nottingham and then Nottingham to East Anglia I see little credibility behind the 'his family are really settled card'.
Life in London and a massive pay rise/signing on fee seems win-win. |  |

Kids settled at a school, his missus has mates at local gym, they won't be moving from the area. Maybe he'll join norwich | |

When has Bart had spells of poor form? | | | |
