It says about a new keeper coming in, ive heard off a friend that its a young lad playing for kidsgrove, he was previsloly at man city.

It looks off the website that GH is looking at lower league for the players.

Yeh, the Duke is correct
At the forum something was mentioned along the lines of "Accy comes in and does the job and the arrangement suites both parties, but we need a young keeper to 'push' Stuart".

This is in no way a dig at Stuart. If you look at the professional clubs, they all bring in understudy keepers and some hang around for years without getting many games. I guess the theory is, a keeper can get complacent if there is nobody around to challenge for the jersey.

I remember a local lad joining Liverpool called Steve Ogrizovic, he hung around for 5 seasons and got just 4 games (but has got plenty of medals to show for his time there including 2 European Cup medals !). Ray Clemence, the England keeper kept him out and his presence must have kept Clemence on his toes.

Incidently, you could say he served a good apprenticeship, Ogrizovic went on to play over 500 top flight games for Coventry, winning the FA Cup and scoring direct from a goal kick !

Any footballer needs pushing.  Having a bloke after your place keeps you on your toes.
