Ketsbaia Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Adrian would be pointless, like. If we're going to buy a goalkeeper at least make it decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 My impression of Adrian is he was decent a couple years ago and has declined. That's probably mostly informed by fantasy stats though. Maybe Bilic just doesn't rate him? Some keeper stats here. No save percentage, but you can calculate it from shots on goal and goals conceded. It looks like Adrian had some dropoff from his previous high level in the past season, but still saved a higher percentage than Randolph, so Bilic must have gone off him for some reason. Even if it was high profile howlers, Randolph didn't do better on average in the same team. In 14/15 Adrian conceded two more goals than Rob Eliot, despite facing 44 more shots on target, nearly 50% more. Even allowing for differences in shot quality, that's a huge difference. Some people praised Eliot for not being as bad as expected that season, but I reckon a better keeper would have kept us up. http://www.foxsports.com/soccer/stats?competition=1&season=20150&category=GOALKEEPING&pos=Goalie&team=0&isOpp=0&sort=6&sortOrder=1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I understand we need a squad but if we're signing players purely to be a backup (signing Joselu to replce Murphy) won't we have the same problem this time next year when we can't shift them? I was thinking exactly that with some of the names mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing though, getting rid off Darlow and Krul for the price we want is not an easy task Not sure Adrian is 'that' much better than Elliot, he's been out of form for a long time now We have a limited budget and we need to focus on more important areas in my opinion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Last week im masturbating over Correa, now we are talking about Joselu. A guy who spent most of the season behind John Walters. Fuck off and sign some talent. Season starts a week on Sunday for us. And nobody else will be in by then given our track record. Fucking sack Charnley he's an utter slug.

A guy who spent most of the season behind John Walters. f*** off and sign some talent. Season starts a week on Sunday for us. And nobody else will be in by then given our track record. f***ing sack Charnley he's an utter slug. The big question for me is where the hell did the 40 million surplus go from last season, we have a net spend of less than 20 million so far. Criminal that it's not been re-invested.

Tiresias Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 The thing is the answer to most questions on here are: ashley is a cunt. There's not a damn thing anyone can do about it and got to hope Rafa find a way of working within the system. It is ludicrous we're having to sell shit to afford bargain basement players but sadly that's where we will be until ashley sells or dies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And nobody else will be in by then given our track record. f***ing sack Charnley he's an utter slug. Joselu surely is/was intended to be a replacement for Murphy, surely. I posted last night I'd love Correa here; someone who I'm going to be excited about going to watch as I've only heard about him recently and what I've heard is really good, plus he can play a striker, which we're desperate for. I can't see us being ambitious enough and trying to get him. Ashley doesn't want the club anymore and so won't put any of his 3.5bn fortune or whatever the f*** it is into something he doesn't want. And the press know f*** all regarding incomings. Merino was out of the blue, as was Manquillo, and the Correa talk from 2 days ago from Ryder and the Chronicle has just evaporated it seems.

Guest ElCid Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 it's going to be a long hard season as this squad is going to struggle big time. Not surprised in the slightest with this owner. Thought he couldn't be as stupid as he has previously though as I said not surprised at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 We're also clearly not trying to be creative and getting any sort of financing facilities to jump into the transfer market with either, which is also frustrating. There seems to be no plan to finance or hedge the TV money coming in, or portion of it, to give the team a solid foundation to get deals done. That sits squarely on Charnley and that fella from SD and Mike Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
