Think either Darlow or Iversen would be great signings rather than Heaton, Foster or Butland. Would prefer Iversen out of the 2 - played very well for an average team, many games played as opposed to Darlow who hasn’t played much last seasonPreston have signed Freddie Woodman from Newcastle on a permanent deal. So Iverson won't be returning there and does that change anything for Darlow? Feels like the goalkeeping merry go round is starting to fall into place, piece by piece.

Darlow has been playing in the Premier League....he's the one we should get, no contest....I think Preston conceded Iversen wouldn't be coming back weeks ago, Leicester are apparently wanting a permanent move if anything happens and it's not cheap.
Newcastle are about to sign Pope, so Darlow will be third choice at Newcastle next season, which will open it up for us if we're interested.
I'd prefer Iversen, but Darlow will do and would be significantly cheaper.
I suppose it depends what we see Roberts doing. Have we brought him in to start (I don't get the impression that we have), as a number 2 who we won't expect to see much of or someone to develop for the 1st team. If he's seen as a potential long-term keeper then it makes sense that who we bring in will be number 1 for a season or 2 until he's ready to take over. That points to an older, more experienced keeper like Heaton.
I'm not sure I want someone like Darlow who we may have to replace if we are promoted and I don't want to loan a young keeper that prevents our own players developing. I wouldn't be up for paying big money for a keeper either. Seems to be very difficult to find a good one and an expensive one that doesn't work out might make us stuck with them for quite a while.
