I mean, I'm fairly certain Krul is better than Elliot - so in that sense it weakened us. Wouldn't want him as a starter though, but a better back-up than Elliot.

joeyt Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I don't remember reading that he didn't fancy the Championship. Thought he was just injured and we signed Sels so Krul was going to be low down the pecking order Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Eh, we're safe and Dubravka seems a more all round complete keeper. He's got communication, and both ball playing skills and the ability to command his box at a level Timmy could only dream of. Plus he'd listed on in our goal for so long he'd got stale and complacent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Dubravka has a lot more about him. Krul was great for a few years but I agree with the lack of competition point, plus Pardew / Woodman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Take away the rose tinted view of Krul's early seasons, and you see why he's gone. If you had only seen his last 18 months before the injury, you wouldn't be able to get rid quickly enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had only seen his last 18 months before the injury, you wouldn't be able to get rid quickly enough Similarly, take off the brown tinted glasses and you'll see he was one of the only players that was actually trying the games before his injury (proven by the fact he'd been called up and was playing for the national team) and that people correctly predicted that was our season over and we were down the second Krul hit the floor.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/ex-newcastle-keeper-tim-krul-14758780 Why ex-Newcastle keeper Tim Krul could become a shock target for Barcelona as Brighton deal ends Former Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul failed to make a single Premier League appearance for Brighton and Hove Albion By Chris Waugh 11:00, 8 JUN 2018 Former Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul is set to be released by Brighton and Hove Albion this summer - yet the reigning Spanish champions Barcelona are reportedly interested in the Dutch international. The 30-year-old failed to make a single Premier League appearance for the Seagulls during his season on the south coast, finding himself as deputy to Mathew Ryan, and his contract expires this summer. Yet, despite Krul’s lack of football over the last few seasons since suffering a serious knee injury in October 2015, the Netherlands international is claimed to be a target for Barcelona. According to Mundo Deportivo, should back-up Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen depart this summer in search of first-team football, then Krul has been mentioned at the Nou Camp as a potential replacement. Rui Patricio, who has had his contract rescinded at Sporting Lisbon, and Everton’s Joel Robles are also mentioned as targets - seemingly with Barcelona unwilling to pay a fee for a new back-up keeper to Marc-Andre ter Stegen. At this stage it seems Barcelona are merely keeping tabs on Krul’s situation. It is understood that Brighton manager Chris Hughton would like to keep Krul, but the goalkeeper is keen for first-team football and will look to depart having made just five cup appearances for the Seagulls last season. However, a move to former Champions League winners and current La Liga champions Barcelona would surely prove too tempting for Krul to turn down, even if he was to be second choice, should an offer materialise. The story summed up: - Tim Krul is set to be released by Brighton and Hove Albion. Chris Hughton would like to keep Krul. Krul is keen for first-team football. Krul would move to Barcelona to be second choice should an offer materialise (which it won't). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
