LFEE Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 It's been particularly pleasing during my time here to have worked with Tim Krul and played a part in him rising through the ranks to become the Club's first choice goalkeeper and a regular international. *snigger* Wasn't he already first choice before Woodman and Pardew arrived? Yep Harper was wasn't he? Krul became a regular the season we beat Sunderland 5-1 which was under Houghton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Nah he filled in when Harper got injured. He became a regular the season we finished 5th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cort Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Krul played more games than Harper in 2010/11 season. Yes but he wasn't first choice. Which is why Hughton reverted back to Harper after he had recovered from his injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

healthyaddiction Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Seems a bunch of old players are pushing for Harper to be our next Keeper coach. Seen tweets from Given & Lee already which people seem to be wetting themselves with excitement over. Personally I'd prefer someone experienced and with a track record of success at developing players and a strong reputation in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Rob Lee is such a twat. Yammering on about Harper loving and knowing the club. Has no one learned a lesson from the Carver debacle? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nattfare Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Yeah, having the passion and being a local means fuck all if you're a shit coach. If he comes here it should be to learn under an experienced coach. Best would probably be if he went elsewhere and learned the trade for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 To be fair to Harper I think GK Coach is a bit different to other coaches in that the keepers work together in twos or threes and coach each other and we developed Krul and Forster during Harper's senior period. So I think we do miss him to that regard and he will make a good GK coach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattypnufc Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Harper has all of his badges. Used to coach in the same kids division as my mates team. Think he's up to the proper level too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhaircut Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 If he has potential, he can do one and realise that potential elsewhere before coming to us. We aren't some learning school, we're one of the richest clubs in the world. If another recently retired keeper who'd never coached was being suggested, this wouldn't even be up for debate. So the fact he's a Geordie is the only reason he's a contender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
