We've had sub standard keepers ever since being in the godforsaken division, and whilst I don't think that's the reason we're still here, I do think having a proper quality keeper is a major step for finally getting out.
Obviously he'll still make occasional mistakes, like at Bolton, but the confidence he brings by commanding his box, and making all the regular saves plus those that need a bit extra is a huge bonus. Not squirming in my seat every time the other team has a corner or set piece is a major difference to Holy and Hladky.

If the rumoured fee of around £150k is correct, that is an outrageous piece of business. Only 26 and has his best years ahead of him, could be our number 1 for several years to come. Reminds me a bit of Kasper Schmeichel in the sense he has the potential/ability to go through the leagues with us if we get it right. |  | | |

A decent (contracted) keeper is vital. No position to fill is more important. Walton is the best since Bart and may prove better than him in the long term. This is a really good signing. Well done all. |  | | |

Yep, this is a great bit of business. Has the potential to be a very good Championship level keeper if he continues to develop, imo, so really pleased to have signed him permanently and well worth paying the low six figure fee to secure him for the rest of this season and avoid a potential bidding war for his signature in the summer. |  |

Oh no, you have just reminded of Will "Chuck" Norris. He was useless and on loan from the Premier League. Back in the Premier league now as back up for Burnley I believe (well was last season anyway!) |  |

That 2.5 year contract makes me squirm a bit. |  |

The back line looks so much happier with him behind them. Very good signing for this level; to be honest, it would have been a good signing for the majority of Championship teams too. |  | | |

We have an option for a further year. | |
