Optimistic Nut Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Simple fact he's better than Harper and Elliot. Can't see him coming as a reserve though. Find it quite odd he's not been picked up. Clearly a talented keeper, surely someone would take a gamble on pay as you play/1yr deal unless he's ideas above his station. Lloris will poke his eye in training and Cudicini will stub his toe, meaning Spurs will sign him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Out for two to three games in Toon speak usually means five, its a massive blow losing Tim but I would much rather Harper than Elliot to stand in for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 TBF, he could push Valdes out of their team. He wouldn't push Valdes out but i certainly rate Krul over Valdes, i've always thought Valdes is overrated and would get found out in a poor side, his distribution and his actual footballing ability are the reasons why he has stayed in goal for Barca as he does suit their style.

That's pretty much it, really. Valdés' strengths are so tailored to our play style it's ridiculous. Apart from his distribution, his main virtue is one-to-ones, which is our main defensive weakness as we play with such a high defensive line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcelona should be in for someone like Neuer imo, and the confidence he would give the back line would be far superior to Valdes' skills. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a habit of playing pretty far out as well which would help dealing with through balls and those trying to expose the space behind their defensive line. Plus he's fucking frightening in that typical German way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Neuer has fantastic ability with his feet so your losing nothing tbh. Anyway it would never happen as Bayern never sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyeyzzon Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Love how this thread started exactly two years ago in that 1-0 away win at Everton when Krul came on for Harps, only to find ourselves in an exactly reverse scenario now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I think Tiote is a more important player for us in that he is better to dominate a midfield and is better to control the tempo in a game. Cabaye is needed for his offensive play and is, on his day, a very good footballer. But when is the main star in a team I think he struggles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 We're missing this guy more than anyone imo. Would likely have saved two of the goals today and his ability to organise the defence is far greater than Harper's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
