nufc4eva Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Always liked Krul but he should have done what Forster did. We have been mismanaged for years and as a result he has become an average keeper where he probably had potential to be a top keeper in the early days. A move would suit both player and club at this stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Liked him in the early days but it was going this way before the injury. He was playing poorly and surviving on reputation. Looks like Rafa's seen through that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I always thought he was a cracking keeper but the lack of clubs beating our door down to buy or even loan him makes me think there are other issues with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papavasiliou Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Got to be something going on behind the scenes. No way he just forgot how to catch a ball in the the time he was out injured. Has to be a personal problem of some sort. It would explain why he was quick to take two loans in a row back in Holland and why he doesn't seem to be even considered now he's back in the North East.

Robster Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 All the vibes around the club at the moment are negative and shit. This isn't going to be a good season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Never bothered to learn how to kick a football. I don't really care if he had some shite coaches over the years. That's all on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pungen Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Would guess it's because we don't want four keepers training with the first team squad at the same time, and the other three are ahead of him in the pecking order atm. Seems harsh on him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dabe Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'd trust that it's been done for footballing reasons; which could be related to his injuries over the last couple of years. Either way, not sure why it would be seen as harsh, we don't know how he looks during training, could be slower than Steve Harper these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 He's part of a crew which helped prop up Pardew's tenure, along with Coloccini and co. I have little sympathy. He once had huge potential. That said, we need a new keeper very soon. What does this even mean? How did he prop up Pardew's tenure? Well, I'm coming from the stand point of the rumours at the time. There were loads of stories that Coloccini, Jonas, Cabaye and Krul were trying to push out certain members of our squad; Ben Arfa, Marveaux, Mbiwa and Santon.

Ronaldo Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Harsh way to treat him after 10 years service imo. Yep. Rafa'a ruthless but there's got to be more to it than his awful kicking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 TBH Krul should already be gone. We extended his contract by a year in the same way we did Sammy's a year earlier, hoping a loan deal would produce a buyer - both times we've ended up lumped with the player for an extra year.

STM Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 It as probably just a case that Rafa hasn't seen the desire from him to get back into the squad. Compare him to De Jong, who is practically begging to be back in the fold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I wonder who's idea it was he go out on loan? If Krul told Rafa he didn't want to play in the Championship again and asked to be loaned out maybe Rafa has some hard feelings. If Rafa wanted to send Krul out one can only assume that Krul has done something to piss him off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Mind you, none of it explains why it's only him. You would think Lazaar, Saivet and Haidara might be training with him. Very odd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Maybe he is getting a chance, but he's just not ready to play the pre-season games. He's training with the reserves I know, just could be because he needs training and isn't ready to be with the first team. Dunno. He was on training pics earlier in pre-season with the first team though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Krul told Rafa he didn't want to play in the Championship again and asked to be loaned out maybe Rafa has some hard feelings. If Rafa wanted to send Krul out one can only assume that Krul has done something to p*ss him off. More likely told him that he wouldn't be able to step straight back into the team after he recovered so a loan was a better option than sitting on the bench for the whole season waiting for Sels to fuck up or get injured. In hindsight it might have been better to wait it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Everything doesn't have to be a conspiracy theory. Rafa obviously rates our other keepers higher. Krul was playing poorly before he got injured two seasons ago. I doubt he's improved after being out injured for a season and then only getting half a season of starts in the Dutch league. You can't have 4 goalkeepers training with the main squad. Thanks for the good times Tim but I don't feel sorry for him. He's on good wages. There's no room for sentiment and quite right too.

Leazes_End_Mag Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Some kid off twitter who got his pic taken with Krul today claims he overheard Krul on the phone saying he had told Rafa to f*** off and that he deserved better after 10 years of service. Very much doubt its true as he doesn't come across that type of bloke but you never know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
