I doubt he will go there

They all want to stay at derby.

Can we offer roos instead.

Thought he might get himself a Championship gig. Proved himself a solid option with us last season.

How many keepers do they need?

[Sparkle]

He hasn’t gone anywhere yet and it would be prudent for him to see what others are prepared to offer him which doesn’t mean he will sign for them 

[therealhantsram]

Realistically, goalkeeper is often the easiest position to fill. Don't panic

Alnwick will be 3rd choice. Smithies leaving on a free so will be looking to replace him

Allsop would be to replace Smithies who they’ve released.

Incidentally, Smithies was always a goalkeeper I remember being pretty highly rated a while back. Clearly gone sour for him at Cardiff and he’s lost his way a bit, but there’s definite ability in there to be unlocked. If our coaches could get him back on track, he could be a potentially excellent experienced replacement for Allsop for us.

Rather keep Allsop if we can get contracts sorted soon.

I rather keep asslop to mate but maybe rooney will have a look at new keeper if it happens.

[Loughborough Ram]

I think Allsop will still be with us come the start of next season

[Mckram]

I’d have thought at his stage in his career money will be a factor, it’s a long time retired for a footballer.

That said, I can’t imagine Cardiff will be offering huge sums and surely when you’re at the back end of your career it’s better to be in a side that has more potential to win games and keep clean sheets.

Who knows, it wouldn’t totally surprise me if Cardiff were pushing for a play off spot next season ?

[Loughborough Ram]

They seem to think that they have a chance of signing Gareth Bale, so they may have a chance

Agree money will factor into a lot of the player’s thinking, hopefully the team spirit Rooney has created keeps some of them at the club as they’re settled.

As a 29 year old keeper Allsop is far from at the end of his career, goalkeepers tend to play until their late 30s, normally lasting longer into their careers than outfield players. He’s got a good 6-9 years left provided he stays fit

To be fair I thought he was more like 32/33 and might be looking for that final decent 3 year contract.

Now I know he’s 29 I fear even more that he will leave. Most of his appearances have been league 1 so at that age he will be looking to push himself you’d have thought.
