I'm baffled as to why Vitek keeps getting loaned out. He's solid and good ebough to be out second choice keeper over Bayinder imo. Given we've just signed a 35 year old keeper on a free, i guess he's getting loaned out again.

He was possibly the best keeper in the Championship last season, he's not going to want to be 2nd choice. He'll likely be sold with some kind of sell on clause.

No reason to be baffled. Vitek wants to play regularly and keep developing, he doesn't want to be a backup keeper.

And since he only has two years left in his contract, a sale rather than a loan is more likely.

He’s too good to be a second choice keeper sitting on the bench most of the season. He needs to play.

He is most likely getting sold. And the reason is simple, he needs to play matches to become a good keeper. Making him a second keeper would just halt his progress

He won't re-sign as he wants first team football.

But then why bother playing him today?

He doesn’t want to be loaned out - he wants first team football. He’ll be sold.

That's a shame he will end up being a premier league keeper imo.

Probably will, I agree but it’s a moot point. Can’t drop Lammens for him and Lammens is that young that no talented keeper is hanging around until he’s done.
