' NEIL WARNOCKS THREE GOALKEEPERS '

Lee Camp Warnock's first-choice


Neil Etheridge 2nd choice


Brian Murphy backup


Are you happy with Neil Warnocks three goalkeepers for 2017-18?


My opinion Warnock has already done well here, first by saving a fortune, these three don't even add up to McGregor's wages, never mind the money that wasted on Ben Amos.

I also believe there is healthy competition there and we will be ok in goal :thumbright: :bluebird: :bluebird:

' Lee Camp '


The 32-year old former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper previously played for boss Neil Warnock at Rotherham.

"I'm really pleased to have signed for Cardiff City. The manager has always been fantastic with me and I'm delighted to work with him again," the Northern Ireland international said.

"I'm looking forward to playing in front of the Cardiff City supporters."

"Lee is what I call a 'Steady Eddie'," Warnock said. "Lee has always done well for me.

"We've now got a really good trio of goalkeepers. Neil Etheridge - a big lad with plenty to prove, Brian Murphy - who did well for me last season, and Lee, who offers experience, reliability and good decision making.

"It is down to the goalkeepers now to see who can cement their place in the team, and keep that number one jersey."

I think it's been great business and probably paying half what we paid Amos and McGregor in wages and not spent a penny on them and 3 good options.

I feel sorry for Murphy as he was stellar in goals last season, didn't put a foot wrong in all fairness but I am happy with what we have, a strong 3 keepers to fight it for a starting place.

I've been very impressed with Murphy whenever he's played. Good competition and I don't think Camp can afford to have many poor games.
