Yet still England's number one, sorry BB I cant agree.

 

I'm sure i was TB, the lad had the xfactor. Just like Cullen and O'Brien you could tell straight away they would go onto better things. Can't see Lewis being in league 2 next season.

 

Not a div 2 keeper. Div 1 or championship level.

Great to have a keeper that is above the level we are currently at.

 

Lewis isn't anywhere near as good with his feet as Pickford and it's a stretch to suggest that Lewis will get anywhere near those levels.

You've also got to factor in that Pickford was much younger and had more time to develop that Lewis will have who came into senior football quite late.

 

Can't disagree with that. The best similarities between them both is that they both have the ability to win points on their own performances. I still remember Pickfords performance away at Preston, one of the best keeping displays i've ever seen from a city keeper.
Whether Lewis will ever get anywhere near those heights, only time will tell. But he's definitely got the attributes to go a lot further up the league ladder. From there a lot of it is a case of being in the right place at the right time.

 

His time here will prove short lived, I agree, but if we get a season out of him then we’d get more games than we got out of Skippy before Middlesborough snared him.

Love Harry. Great character and quality keeper. Huuuuuuuuuge upgrade on ROD and Hornby.

 

Better hope we get promoted or else he’ll 100% be gone.
Could easily see a mid to top Championship club taking him for 1-2million

 

You see some very average keepers in the lower leagues, this lad stands out like a sore thumb. Has the skillset to play at a higher level and having seen some of the keepers in the championship, he could more than hold down a place there. If i was a club from that level and i felt my keepers weren't at the level required i would definitely be looking at him. How much that would be dependant on how desperate a club is for his services.

 

Anyway, if we go up and show intent to challenge again in league 1 then we have a chance of keeping our better players for another season

 

Funny enough, Harry is from Shrewsbury too. His grandad is former goalkeeper Ken Mulhearn.

 

Are these clauses usually in favour of the player? I thought they were always in favour of the club as a way of protecting their asset Kev?

 

A friend of mine knew BFG really well, same synagogue and some business dealings. As soon as he took over he told me he'd bankrupt the club. A man with great vision and ideas let down by being a greedy narcissist, so I never really took to him. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the highs but I expected that he'd leave us in the shit. Such a shame really

 

I do agree that with league 2 keepers you aren’t going to be looking at huge sums, at the same time like others I believe Lewis is the real deal and worth far more than such a poxy sum like £100k. He simply wouldn’t be worth selling at such a price, if the contract extension is in our favour he’s with us until 2025, I’d rather lose him on a free in 2.5 years than have such a small fee. By then he could be a league 1 keeper, or higher anyway.

 

Super!

I hadn't heard of him before, but everything I've read is very positive - could potentially be an improvement on Bass.

Let's wait and see though.

 

Maybe he's after a keeper who doesn't kick it into touch most of the time like his recent predecessors!

 

Well done Daily Mail for breaking the news of this signing 36 hours before the club announced it!

A big welcome to the club, and let's hope he cements his place as our new number 1 for years to come.

I had never heard of him, obviously Mark Hughes knows him well and appears to rate him highly.

 

Hughes obviously knows all about him. Coming from a premier league club, he must have a decent pedigree. Could be a really good signing this. Decent age and could have a re-sale value if he does well. Mark Schwatzer comes to mind.

 

Why do the club embarass themselves by over egging signings like this? How on earth is highly rated and by whom?

He hasnt played a lot of football. Just 1 spell at in Scotland.

 

I remember watching him , maybe his debut at Colchester , he gave them at least one goal…..dreadful!
