There have been some good transfer rumours come to light in recent days and the one involving Angus Gunn is particularly exciting me.
The young goalkeeper excelled this season at Norwich City as he played a huge amount of games and pulled off a great deal of saves.
Indeed, I think he is good enough to play in the Premier League during his career and so if we can bring him in – as per Phil Hay on Twitter – it would be some signing:

How have our fans received the news on Twitter, though? Let’s take a look at their reaction:
Gunn is a future England no.1
Played 40+ games for Norwich last season … would be a class signing and real show of intent— Ty (@NOHSPUT) May 21, 2018
Guaranteed some fans would still moan

Not required. BPF will do just fine as #1

So your not planning on having a back up, no?

Gunn wouldn’t move to be backup

Why am I getting the feeling that we’re taking it seriously this year?

Interesting one. Probably the best way of having competition and cover whilst also showing BPF that he has a chance

Pointless imho

This ambition we’re showing is so unlike Leeds

The Verdict
He’s a very good young keeper and better than BPF.
I do hope Bailey gets a chance to progress with us as he is a good stopper but Gunn is a level above and one I’d love to see in goal for us.
If we can pull it off, it really would be some statement of intent.
