Guest firetotheworks Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I know. But he wouldn't do that. Not in a standard run of the mill game. Much like Green, and most other pro goalkeepers. In the World Cup it's always a possibility. Harper is just as prone to making mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harper shouldn't be there but neither should Green. He made 4 mistakes last season leading directly goals, more than any other player in the Premier League.

Aye, but then so has Harper. Especially recently. Not that I don't rate him, he's just not near England standard imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of England's main problems is that Harper pretty much is England standard, sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Harpers terribly average. Forster should be our long term number one. Harper simply gets the gig for his loyalty to the club rather than his (limited) ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Sorry to have another Harper thread on the go, but I have to bump one of my own like, especially with the poll. Next season simply has to be Krul and Forster battling it out for the No.1 place. Harper is past it and we will only suffer with him playing all next season. Lets concentrate on the future with our young keepers. Having said that though Pardew plans to sell one of them doesnt he? Lets hope he changes his mind on that one first and foremost.

Chase Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Unfortunately I can't see Harper being sold or dropped, he's got too much of a sympathy vote for "all the years he waited behind Given" so for that I think he's going to stick around for a lot longer unfortunately. I'd like to see us drop him and put Krul in for the remainder of the season but once Forster comes back from Celtic things are going to get intreresting as I think he's thrown things on their head over his last two loans spells as Krul was always the most promising prospect yet I now think it's Forster.

oldtype Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Depends on how good Forster actually is. Krul is still a good distance off from being able to replace Harper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 When it comes to young talented players, Carroll was very much the exception. 99% of the time you can tell by the time a player gets to 20 whether he's got what it takes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember some people saying something like that about Carroll when he was younger. I wouldn't go as far as to say Krul has no future, but he clearly needs more experience at a lower level. Raw talent is all he's got right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Krul blatantly isn't ready. ... and very likely will never be. I remember some people saying something like that about Carroll when he was younger. Well I certainly didn't. Which is to say that Carroll has always appeared to have the mental toughness required, which was clear in his first few outings in the season we got relegated. Krul hasn't shown that to me. Maybe this is his shaky season, maybe he will improve and make a solid goalkeeper in years to come, but I very much doubt he'll be ready by the start of next season.

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Yes. Krul out on loan as well. Although I don't really know how Forster is progressing- he may well be up to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
