You can spot a genuinely good goalkeeper at just about any level. Being able to kick the ball is often a good sign, as is catching crosses.

 

 

 

you've just named Forster two weaknesses,  especially the kicking.

I haven't seen much of Forster but if he's better than Krul he must be pretty good. Krul makes the odd gaffe but I would still prefer him to the majority of premier goal keepers.

Krul appears to be weaker in both areas to me.

Harper was a very good kicker of the ball when he first came through the ranks, but years of warming the bench seemed to have an effect on that, for some reason.

 

Mike Hooper was a hell of a striker of the ball. Not surprising given his heft.

Today in Hollands biggest newspaper: First team or I'll leave

 

time rolling up refuses as a second aim man return to Newcastle United. Last season he reached 25 duels under the lat at the club from the prime minister League and that tastes to more. Time rolling up dives to the ball during the training of orange. By Cillessen looks on. Photograph: DUTCH PRESS AGENCY „I am 23 years and want now simply a complete season play. That I will tell the coach also if I return after the holiday at the club. Rolling up has high hope that this will be at Newcastle. „Initially replaced I aim man Harper, but arrived on the bank then Alan Pardew it took over of Chris Hughton. Afterwards Harper again touched injured and I to the end of the season a good serial have put down and trusted the manager me also that I am the first aim man. Something what rolling up for the new season gladly learns nogeens. „Differently have to it remain no sense at Newcastle.

Hooper ffs, he was like a beached whale. What on earth was Keegan thinking bringing that buffoon to the club?

It seems like he is trying all methods available to secure his No.1 position.

 

 

But if he still commits silly error like in the last few matches, I'd rather play Harper instead.

Trying all methods?

State those comments to the media, getting personal assurance from Pardew...etc. The next thing is to do a Given - threatens to submit a transfer request if not guaranteed a regular starting place.

Hope Pardew won't make the mistake of giving Harper the Nr. 1 shirt next season. I don't really care if it's Krul or Forster (I would prefer Krul) but giving it to Harper again would be a mistake.

 

We have to look into the future and Krul/Forster are the future.

Krul said: "I'm 23 and I want to play a whole season.

 

"That's what I'll tell manager Alan Pardew. Otherwise it makes no sense to stay."

Two subtly different sets of quotes from Magpies 'keeper Tim Krul surfaced on Wednesday, after the player spoke to reporters while linking up with Dutch senior squad.

 

From the Dutch media, Wednesday (translated):

 

Tim Krul refuses to return to Newcastle as the second choice goalkeeper. Last season he played 25 matches for the Premier League club and wants more.

 

"I am 23 years and now just want to play a whole season. I will tell the trainer when I return the club."

 

"Initially I replaced goalkeeper (Steve) Harper, but was on the bench when Alan Pardew took over from Chris Hughton. Harper then got injured again and I played a series of good games to the end of the season when the manager trusted me as the first-choice goalkeeper.

 

"Something like that has to happen in the new season, otherwise it makes no sense to stay at Newcastle."

 

Tim Krul quotes, North East England media:

 

"I’ve been lucky enough to play a few games this season. The national manager said when he named the last squad that I’m on their radar, but I wasn’t playing at the time. It’s different now, and it’ll be fantastic to be involved.”

 

"I think (Alan Pardew) will want me to go away and enjoy myself (playing international football) – the experience will be amazing.

 

"Then I’ll fight pre-season – it’s one big fight, and I’ve got to make sure I’m fit. I’ve played 25 games this season, and that’s more than I expected. I’m more than happy with that.

 

"It’s been a great season. There’s been ups and downs, but we should take the positives and build on everything we’ve done.”
