I was wondering that or if it could be something to do with a release clause? But it says an extended deal

Judging by previous keepers he's signed, categorically no.

Surely he'll buy a new keeper this summer? And Al Habisi was awesome when i watched him play for Bolton against Fulham, yet not as good as Jussi according to Coyle?

I'm not sure STeve Banks is still playing these days, but he might put his boots back on for the right offer.

Let in 4 against The Arsenal ;) But given we should have scored about 10 he didn't have a bad game... :P

Dennis Peacock. Now THERE'S your man !!

Here's a picture of him NOT dropping the ball or picking the ball out of the net. These pictures are rare ; -

Not unless that was agreed this time last year; why should they get preferential treatment in a seller's market? Like anyone else, they had to pay to borrow him; like anyone else, they'd have to pay to have him.

I'd be amazed if Mr Whelan would end up paying £6m for his services. I suspect thats how the de facto deal will pan out.

£6m? Why are you adding on the money they've already spent, money which would seem quite a bargain considering he was Player Of The Season during a campaign in which they stayed up by the width of a fanny hair?
