Dom and Jordan discuss the goalkeeper situation at Newcastle United, on the Geordie Journos YouTube. Will NUFC kick the can down the road - or will they address things this summer?

00:00I do wonder if the goalkeeper situation could be kicked down the road for another season whilst to prioritise strength and outfield positions because obviously James Traffad is the one that everyone's talking about, had an unbelievable season in the Championship to be fair.
00:1829 clean sheets, only conceded 15 goals, had a remarkable season. Newcastle last summer, as we understand, were quoted £20 million or just over £20 million. Obviously the deal didn't happen in the end for various reasons. PSR situation, Odyssey's Vakademos comes in and Newcastle have got a five-man band of goalkeepers.
00:39I think this summer, James Traffad's price tag potentially doubles and I do think from Burnley's point of view, do they have to sell him? Can they afford to keep holding another back in the Premier League?
00:54I think they could still sell him but I think negotiating with a Championship club in regards to a Premier League club is a lot easier and I think Burnley coming up puts Newcastle in a more difficult position to try and get him through the door.
