I think Max O'Leary is a better Championship keeper than Bonham. Any time I've seen Bonham he has looked poor and made a mistake to cost his team a goal. Was signed to be a backup keeper by Stoke but has got in because their previous first choice (Butland?) hasn't lived up to the hype.
The Irish keeper order for me would be Bazunu - Kelleher - Travers - O'Leary - Randolph - Bonham. I doubt Bonham will ever win a competitive senior cap for us, but at the same time we should be happy that a keeper who is a regular in the Championship may only be our sixth choice. A lot of countries our size find the keeper position very tough to fill at a decent level (NI/Wales/Scotland/Norway).
Edit - Bursik was the other keeper, not Butland.
