The keeper situation did need attention. We needed a second keeper. Signing Kennedy or Arcaba would have resulted in comments of "signing same dross as last year". Signing Bray or Italiano would have drawn "While cheap it isn't going to put pressure on Duncan". Instead we've gone with the comments we'd have got for Moss, Galekovic or Reddy that we are seeing now.

When the whole recruitment picture becomes clearer later this year, then we will know whether it's a good pick up or not.

There's a lot of unknowns - how much Moss is getting paid (which may sway people's views one way or another) and how much remains available to recruit players.
I would have signed Arcaba. He provides good competition without wasting salary cap $$$ on a bench warmer (be it Duncan or Moss). Only the clubs in the ACL need 2 out right #1's imo.

In all likelihood we are spending a lot more on Moss than Kennedy in the salary cap, without any of the loyalty allowance. That's less to spend in the midfield/CB where we need it most.

In saying that

Its likely Ernie just doesn't rate Duncan. He may have seen weaknesses and targeted him in the past, and figures it's worth spending the money there. So has gone out and signed another #1. And as new manager he has every right and makes sense to go with a keeper he trusts.

I personally don't agree and certainly don't buy the argument that this has anything to do with competition or Duncan is the incumbent.
