'Was it necessary for us to buy a goalkeeper?'

Former Ipswich defender Mick Mills has questioned the club's decision to sign goalkeeper Arijanet Muric in the summer, and wonders whether the Tractor Boys have a better goalkeeper on the bench.
Speaking to BBC Radio Suffolk's Final Whistle, Mills said: "The goalkeeping situation has been very strange for the last 15 months, I firmly believe we had a good one - Christian Walton was a good goalkeeper and he must still be, but we're not able to see much of him.
"He was in charge at the start of last season and pre-season in our Championship year, he was the number one goalkeeper, he had an injury and allowed Vaclav Hladky to come in who grabbed his chance so well that we didn't see any more of Walton for a whole season.
"There was no great effort in renewing Hladky's contract and instead of going with Walton, we go out and buy a goalkeeper and I must admit I wondered if it was necessary.
"As a supporter of the club I want us to constantly improve all around the team which gives us the best opportunity of staying in the league.
"But, having seen all three goalkeepers, I still think Christian Walton is the best one - which is quite staggering."
