Obviously age is a factor, plus Guaita is often linked with going back to Spain. I would think VG the better player currently but we won't know unless we give the new guy a try.

Red and Blue Army!

My Baggy mate describes him in a way that makes him sound a bit like Hennessey. I'm not totally convinced that he's better than Butland let alone VG

Get fit first. Show what you have in the Carabao Cup. At some stage this season Vinny will drop out with some injury or other, then show what you can do. Then is the time to have the debate, not now. Move Butland and Matthews on, Joe Whitlock looks more than capable as a back-up.

Guaita is a proven lower prem keeper. Johnstone is not. Guaita is the incumbent but he's a reflex keeper who's getting older.

Therefore Johnstone has an opportunity, but no more, to try to displace him. But from what I've read, Johnstone won't be the answer unless he's been badly coached and is willing to work very hard to correct his flaws.

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

My feeling is that this is more an indication of what PV thinks about Jack Butland and Remi Matthews.

I imagine he was brought in as 2nd goalkeeper in case Guaita gets injured (which is not an unusual occurence - not long term injuries, but they do happen).

It's a shame for Jack Butland, as I think he did well for us at the back end of the last season.
