AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 He's a good goalkeeper but he's not like Cabaye levels of too-good-for-Newcastle-to-keep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I don't think we've ever had a player too good for Newcastle United to keep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 He's been shite this season by the standards I expect of him. He's hit a ceiling and I doubt he will get any better than this, seems to lack the intelligence to take him to the next level, see his kicking for example. He's got better form in him, I just don't see it clicking with him for some time, maybe in his 30's he matures but he'll be long gone by then.

Ronaldo Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 He's 25, man. He's quite possibly 10 years off his prime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 He's 25, man. He's quite possibly 10 years off his prime. Which keepers are hitting their prime at 35 these days? The ones that do have one thing, intelligence. They are usually the one who can influence a game, not just stop shots. He's just not that keeper.

Dokko Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Don't get me wrong, I want him to see out his career, he's the one player I'd be gutted to see leave out of these shysters, however his potential drips away each season and the early promise he may have fulfilled at another club has gone.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 He is a very good shot stopper but poor to average at everything else. He can improve though and in a more challenging and more focused environment he will. He is Italy bound soon, he has even been learning the language for a good while now.

Ronaldo Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 So he's poor to average at dealing with crosses, for example? Fast becoming an embittered moaning old woman, HTT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably done so to shout at/give instructions to Santon from time to time. Krul's the least of our worries. Admittedly he's had a bit of an indifferent season but there's no doubt who should be starting between the sticks week in, week out. I question Andy Woodman's coaching tbh...

Ronaldo Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Wasn't he voted the worst player in their history? They misjudged him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Wasn't he voted the worst player in their history? They misjudged him. Could be down to the fact he played about a dozen games for them in 3 years after they have spent about £14m for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 He might not be improving at the rate he probably should (quelle surprise) but you've got to be off your tits if you think flogging him is a good idea. With our limited to non-existent buying strategy once more you'd be trading him in for something poorer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 So he's poor to average at dealing with crosses, for example? Fast becoming an embittered moaning old woman, HTT. Embittered yes, moaning yes, old getting there, but a women? I resent that, I have fucking hairs on my hairs I'll have you know Is he poor to average at coming for crosses? I would say so yes. He will either catch them or totally flap at them and in a way that sums him up, he is either brilliant as evidenced away to Spurs or just plain old mediocre as evidenced at home to them. He is the least of our worries though and I personally rate him and regard him as one of our more honest players and certainly most likeable. If he has any ambitions though he will surely be looking to move on from us sooner rather than later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I interviewed a Real Madrid fan after we sold him (for this site) and he liked him as a player and was happy they signed him, saying he was technically different to a typical English defender.

Cronky Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 One or two more errors have crept into his game. He just needs to steady himself. He made that breakthrough the season before last, and the expectations are now a bit higher. I think he's put himself under a bit more pressure and keepers have to stay relaxed so that their judgement doesn't become impaired. I'm sure he'll come good again.
