What they're saying

"
If Guglielmo Vicario goes and Antonin Kinsky is not seen as the future in goal, this is a backward step. The team needs English players so an all-out effort for the likes of James Trafford would be preferable to the old 'cheap is best' that has failed in the past. Experienced back-up if needed, but mainly a mentor and leader to Kinsky as number one and also Brandon Austin.
