What do we think will happen here? Are we likely to keep both on?
If not it would seem silly to take the option on Gerken then not be able to sell Bart in the summer? I wonder if it'll be Gerken to go.

I think they'll both go, IMO.... and I wouldn't be against it. I do think the keeper department needs a freshen up and what with Harry Wright getting a new deal earlier on this year, I very much expect him to be part of the first team squad next season, whether as 2nd or 3rd choice. |  |

Same here.
I'd be really disappointed if we took up Gerken's option. Too injury prone and he's not going to improve. We need a younger keeper to make the position their own over the next 2-3 seasons. Start building from the back. |  |

A freshen up would be good. I'd be quite happy for Bart to stay though.
I really hope we can find a keeper who can kick well. Both of ours currently really struggle in this area. | |

...and one who is also comfortable with the ball at their feet. | |

and maybe one who come off his line and catch a ball and give his defence some confidence |  |

Gerken would be OK as a #2.
Bart has to go.
His wage cut will hurt him and his agent so I'll think he will go.
Is Harry Wright strong enough as a #2? |  |

I think we would probably want to get rid if Bart as he is on high wages and keep Gerken and get another one in.
Questions is, who would want Bart. Had a fairly rubbish season and if he is on near £20k a week, surely no1 is going to pay him that bar a premier league team who needs a third goalie? | | | |

Think both will go, interesting that we were linked to the Livingstone keeper this morning. EADT seem to think Harry Wright is an option if your looking for a ball playing keeper, others don't seem to agree.
I think if we were going to keep Gerken we would have heard about it by now. | | | |

If we can find a buyer for Bart we should definitely let him go. Been one of our worst performers this season on our highest salary.
Gerken's a trickier one. Would he even want to stay and play second fiddle to someone in League One? Also, no idea what his wages are. Personally, I wouldn't mind him first choice. He might feel he can stay and compete even if a new keeper is bought.
Would expect we're actively looking for a first choice keeper though. |  | | |

PL needs to build from the back and that starts with the goalkeeper IMO. DG isn't good enough regardless that we will be in League One. I'd be disappointed if we kept him on personally. Bart I'm more open to keeping, if we can get him back to the last couple of seasons' form, although his wages might be an issue, but he does provide invaluable experience. HW appears not ready for first team action. If Bart goes, it's important PL gets someone reliable in between the sticks, a keeper that is guaranteed to get 6/7 out of 10 week after week. Then build out from there. | |

Keep Bart and release Gerks |  | | |
| Gerken and Bart on 10:35 - May 2 with 3702 views | eddiespearitt03 |
Neither keeper are anything to shout about so release two wage packets straight away. . Build a team around Woolfenden, Marriott, Morris and Harry Wright in goal. Then get rid of at least 8/10 players of little worth to this club. Sign 4/5 decent,exciting players from the UK & European market with the ability to take this club forward. Back into the Championship play-offs. Norwich got the right players to do a job so why can,t Evans do the same ? | | | |

IMO one (but not only one) of the reasons we are where we are this season is because in previous seasons Bart (POTY for both supporters and players) has saved us probably 20 points. His drop in form this season has seen him drop form hero to 'nearo' (not zero though).
If he could rediscover previous form I would love to keep Bart, but suspect with a significant salary drop he would be able to find more money elsewhere, even as a bench keeper. Having said that, money hasnt always been his motivator.
Gerken is an adequate number two but a couple of years older than Bart and has had injury issues. We do ideally need a younger keeper coming through, don't know whether Wright jnr is that player or not yet.
Odd isn't it, this time last year we would have build the first eleven with Bart first on the team sheet. |  |

Same, think both are off. |
To be honest I think its time to peddle both as well as...
Chambers
Skuse
Sears
The old guard need to go. Bring in a few league 1 warriors to support our kids and go again. |  | | |

Agree with others, I suspect Bart will be touted around by his agent, if not the club.
I'd also be surprised if we take up Gerken's contract extension now. I imagine he'll probably think there's a number two spot in the championship for him somewhere. It's too late for him to become our long term goalkeeping option.
The keeper slot could be totally up for grabs this summer, which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's Bart with the actual #1 shirt, and Wright on the bench as the heir apparent, come August. |  |

Harry Wright is nowhere near ready on the evidence of what I've seen.
And he's still pretty small.... someone like Rhead would make mincemeat of him. |  |
