Preston keeper Andy Lonergan has joined United on a three-year deal. This is our 3rd summer signing and adds competition for Paul Rachubka. I think this is an promising signing after the stopper was attracting interest from Everton. Lonergan was North Ends player of the season in 09/10. He has been a long-term target for Simon Grayson and will hopefully be able to fill the boots of Kasper Schmeichel.
Rachubka has had an impressive pre-season so come August Grayson will have some tricky decisions to make, but having competition for places keeps you on your toes therefore raising your game. I look forward to watching them fight for their place, hopefully their combination of experience will help breed the young Alex Cairnes through as well.
Who will be No.1? Rachubka v Lonergan!
