    I don't think Palace are completely happy with Henderson and Johnstone - I think Travers would be going there to compete for the job.

    Well Johnstone seems to be going, so it would be Henderson v Travers. The problem is that I'm not sure Travers' all round game is good enough to win that battle. I'd rather see him playing regularly in the Championship and improving through experience, but I appreciate Palace will likely be able to blow most Championship teams out of the water in terms of wages.

    Blackburn appear to have moved on to someone else now.

    Kepa confirmed now on loan for the season with no option to buy. Would assume Bournemouth will only let him leave on loan for this season.

    Talk of Neto going to Arsenal to replace Ramsdale, meaning Travers will be forced to stay put.

    Forced to stay put and start? Is he still #2 behind Neto there?
    You can't spell failure without FAI

    He's technically third choice now that Kepa was signed.

    Kepa and Neto. Nominative determinism at its best.

    Shows how bad a shape Wolves are in - they couldn't afford Ramsdale so they plump for Johnstone for £10m (and I don't think he is even worth that).

    Makes him by my count the 13th Irish player to feature in the Premier League this season. Not bad despite our supposed poor squad - you could pick a full team of Irish Premier League players from this season and have a couple of subs left over.

    He's only playing because Kepa can't play against his parent club (Chelsea) but Travers hasn't put a foot wrong so far.

    We're doing a bit better there than we were. I'd rather more of them were starting, and not so many of them were likely to be in the mix for relegation, but it beats calling up league 1 players.

    Travers' career isn't all that critical to our success really. He seems unlikely to push his way into starting for us, and he's fantastic cover. Still, for his own sake, you'd hope he can pick up more games here and there this year.

    Worth remembering that Kepa, for all criticism he has faced is, at €80m by far and away the most expensive goalkeeper in history. That's who Travers is up against as competition.

    The second most expensive goalkeeper? Of course that's Kelleher's rival for the no.1 shirt at Liverpool, Alison.

    When people unfairly make unflattering comparisons of Kelleher, Bazunu and Travers and very mediocre GKs from the past like Forde and Randolph, it's should be considered at just how high a level these guys are operating. Certainly the most talented collection of goalkeepers we've had in my time watching Ireland.

    A team of players from PL matchday squads this season:

    Kelleher

    Coleman, Omobamidele, O'Brien, O'Shea

    Collins, Smallbone

    Ogbene, Szmodics, McAteer

    Ferguson

    Subs: Travers, Doherty, Murphy, Taylor, Umeh, Harness, O'Mahoney

    Had to dig down a few pages to find Travers' thread, but he got a start today for Bournemouth as Kepa was injured and was apparently outstanding. Would be good to see him get a run of games off the back of it, if there's not a lot between the two keepers you would think it would make sense for Bournemouth to stick with their own contracted goalkeeper. Kepa is likely more comfortable playing out from the back than Travers though.

    FWIW Travers has made more Premier League Appearances than Kelleher - 21 v 17. He has also scored more senior goals - 1 v 0

    Has impressed now in both PL games he played this season, the other being against Chelsea.
