Tim Krul (now playing for Luton Town)

"Chris Hughton just wants to keep everybody happy, especially the experienced lads.

 

No doubt his Dutch U21 coach told him to say that!  :angry: Next he'd be telling him to get a move.... you're too good to be a No.2, you're too good for the Championship blah blah blah, etc.

 

Does Krul really expect to be a no1 after his performance against Huddersfield? (Not forgetting Steve Harper's 4 clean sheets.)

 

Get lost Krul....... you're good but not that good.

 

Sigh... some footballers are just wankers. :facepalm:

Tim Krul is hoping Newcastle's protracted sale is soon finalised.

 

Mike Ashley is still trying to sell the fallen North East giants, but as yet a deal does not seem imminent.

 

As the sale has not gone through, caretaker boss Chris Hughton remains in charge.

 

And Krul admits he will not get a chance to push Steve Harper for the number one jersey until a permanent boss is brought in.

 

Krul told Dutch magazine Sportweek, that he would like to see Barry Moat brought in as he would bring back Alan Shearer to the club.

 

On Hughton, he commented: "He wants to keep everyone happy, especially the experienced boys.

The lad is spot on - let's hope we get a response from Hughton by not putting Butt in the starting 11 when fit!

I'm amazed more hasn't been put on that statement.

 

In response to his U21 manager giving us grief for not giving him enough games.

 

 

Are you referring to the keep them happy bit?

 

Aye.

 

His U21 manager came out and said he needs more games and is unhappy with his selection at Newcastle. Now Krul comes out with this. He's just had his ear bent a bit, and considering Krul's comments are to a Dutch mag or something i guess what his manager has said was put to him and this is his answer.

 

Having a sly dig, but at least he's not throwing in transfer requests...yet.

 

 

Aye true, I'm just more surprised a journalist here hasn't ran with the quote and twisted it.

 

Unfortunately there is time.

 

With the Internationals on ATM they've got something else to write about, this can wait for a dry week.

 

One step ahead from Kez and TT.

  • 4 weeks later...

EUROPEAN giants Bayern Munich and Juventus have joined the queue of top clubs trailing Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul.

 

Having watched Krul in action for Holland’s Under-21 side, both Bayern and Juve have looked into his situation at St James’s Park, where he is understudy to Magpies’ No 1 Steve Harper.

 

With several Premier League big guns and the three top sides in his native Holland also interested, United face having to fend off bids for Krul in the January transfer window.

 

With little prospect of the experienced and in-form Harper being usurped as first-choice, the key to keeping Krul on Tyneside in the long term may be a new contract.

 

The 21-year-old’s current deal expires at the end of next season, and is worth a fraction of the wages he could expect to command elsewhere.

 

Krul was warned last month by Holland under-21 coach Cor Pot he risks his international future while he warms the bench at Newcastle.

 

However, since starring as a half-time substitute for Harper in United’s 1-1 draw at West Brom on the opening day of the Championship season, Krul has been restricted to 180 minutes of Carling Cup action.

 

It is now almost three years since the youngster signed by Graeme Souness from Den Haag as a 17-year-old made his first-team bow in a UEFA Cup tie against Palermo.

 

However, despite starring that night amid a hostile atmosphere in a 1-0 win, Krul has made just three senior starts for United.

 

Arsenal lead the domestic interest in him, but all of the current Premier League top six are keen on a player who has spent successful loan spells at Carlisle and Falkirk.

Can't blame the lad for wanting his chance. I am still not all that keen on Harper tbh, think he still looks indecisive at times.

agree, even though harper is probs one of the best keepers in the championship he is so slow and laid back ive never seen the bloke run.  That said Krul has let at least one poor goal in each time he started in the cup games. also not sure we should be giving young players in key positions that many chances this season, we need out this league this season, we are not conceding goals so why tamper with it, it might cost us Krul but getting promotion is more important

At the moment Harper's a far better keeper than Krul. 3 Years time and maybe we should consider Krul as 1st choice goalkeeper...And despite a fantastic game at West Brom, he looked far from pefect against Huddersfield and Peterborough.
