Spider Jerusalem Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Left Back x 2 Striker Right Winger Right Back Center Half New owner New Local Press Another borehole New caterers New Cantonese restraunt in Stowell Street New Tea Lady New Goal Keeper That's about the order of things that we require (and there's probably a few things between new tea lady and 'keeper). Most fucking pointless transfer since Damien Duff strolled through the door if true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Unless I'm unaware of something regarding your young keepers, this makes absolutely no sense. If the club wants an experienced head besides Krul or Forster you could stick with Harper, to be frank. Well Green would be our best goalkeeper if he came (he's just pulled off very smart save for West Ham as I type) and miles better than Harper. Problem is that he would get in the way of our youngsters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_Taylor Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Just another one of them 'Sky Sports Understands' bits of bullshit to fill up TV space before the put the same 3 stories on a loop for the next 5 hours. Not to mention Pardew already denied it, and we don't need a keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Would be sheer lunacy to sign this clown in or current predicament, with the luxury of an up and coming keeper in Krul and Harper to back up, GK is the surely the last position we need more bodies. Green's also bound to be on a fair old wedge too. Would much rather use those wages elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Green is an awful keeper. I felt sorry for him during the world cup, became a complete scapegoat. However the season before he made a frightening amount of mistakes that led to West Ham conceding. Not the type of keeper that inspires confidence in defenders. Crap source but prett sure these stats are from opta: http://www.goal.com/en/news/1863/world-cup-2010/2010/06/13/1974375/numbers-game-robert-green-made-more-errors-than-any-premier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that he would get in the way of our youngsters. I used to rate Green, but he seems the quintessential confidence player. Reminds me of Gomes regarding the incredible saves/awful clangers ratio. Personally I don't think you have an urgent need to improve on your goalkeeping and at least Krul (I haven't seen Forster play much) looks a better prospect.

Ryan_Taylor Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Surly this is just something Sky have picked up late on?

Punk77 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Captain or not, if a club comes in with a decent bid he'll be off. It has to be more than decent to offset the risks of selling him..The defense is shit without him, both MA and Pards know that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Green would be the best keeper at the club, without a doubt for now. We have a couple of good prospects though who i'd rather see in goal, plus the funds would be far better off improving other areas of the pitch. If our 2 keepers for next season were Green and Krul i'd hardly be unhappy like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
