So what you are saying is we need a keeper better than Moss.  Younger than Moss. Not an import.

Luckily there are hundreds of those floating around...

Only ticks two of those boxes.

At least he ticks the right two. With game time etc he can get better but if he was a 35 year old Bulgarian he couldn't all of a sudden get younger or un-Bulgarian.

He's had plenty of game time at the club (mainly for the WeeNix), and he hasn't got any better in the areas that are the concerns... so I'm not sure why just giving him more gametime willy nilly would change that at all.

Because goalkeepers get better with time and experience.  Just ask Doloras.

I would retain Italiano ahead of getting an unknown quality keeper from third grade UK comp, unless it is Italiano who wants out.  But why would he? Isn't this his best chance at the Nix to take the prime goalie spot, as Mossy has decamped to Newcastle?  If I was Welnix I would not try to fix what ain't broken, and keep our money for our new coach's shopping list.
