In terms of his development i think he needs to go soonish. He is an excellent keeper but to be an exceptional keeper he needs to work on some of the weaker elements of his game. A proper high level coaching team can still make a lot of changes to him before he hits his keeper prime time from 25 onwards.
In terms of £££ keepers are rarely fashionable for big bucks so it may have to be a bit then a bit more then a bit more.
Saying that some of the money being spoken about for the Southend lad was crazy.
@Bluebottle there's one other entity with a pecuniary interest in starting a bidding war. I wouldn't put it past 'sources close to WWFC' to be briefing that there are three clubs interested in order to alert suitors and kick-start a bidding war. Not only would I not put it past WWFC, I'd positively welcome such shrewd, commercially savvy media handling.
So is Alex Lynch is good enough to replace him?
Or do you think the club would get another keeper in?
I say give him a chance with a decent run of games.
We would have to get another keeper in as you can't rely on Richardson as cover for ever. The new keeper would then fight it out with Lynch for the number 1 spot.
@Right_in_the_Middle, I guess you are fully versed in the provisions of the Football League Regulations 64, especially if Clubs put offers to extend their players contracts ? speculation, contract offers and deals usually happens in December prior to the January transfer window for a reason.

A big step up for any keeper I think. That will be a lot of bench time I reckon.
Well lets hope that any deal means he stays here on loan till the end of the season. If of course it actually happens and he moves on.
Agent story?

Am pretty sure Forest have a transfer embargo until the Summer so unlikely they would be in for him.
Agent story? From what I recall, his agent is his Mum.

How old is he now?
@TheAndyGrahamFanClub totally agree..
