SUPERTOON Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I like all 4 of our keepers I can understand why Rafa wants an experienced keeper but I between Krul, Elliot and Darlow he has enough. I'd personally sell the lot, buy a top keeper and have Woodman on the bench. Wonder if we could tempt Forster back? Wouldn't mention top keeper and then Forster in the same sentence, he is massively overrated. I think he's very good for where we are, he'd be a top keeper for some time if he came back. We couldn't afford Hart and Butland wouldn't sidestep (or currently drop a level) for us. Outside of the league I'm not sure of a top keeper who'd join us. Yeah I'm not saying he wouldn't be good for us, just when you said top keeper I thought you meant it as world class. He would more than do a job for us.

Sell/loan out either of Krul or Elliot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Rafa clearly doesn't see him as the solution, so turning down 5million seems a bit strange, there must be multiple interest in him I would think. Darlow was the best keeper in the championship last season His stats are very good played 34, conceded 32. 34 games and 13 clean sheets. Not many better according to the stats http://www.foxsports.com/soccer/stats?competition=23&season=20160&category=GOALKEEPING&pos=0&team=0&sort=6&sortOrder=1 This is a sarcastic post, right?

Away Toon Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Play Woodman and fuck it. He can't be any worse than the rest of the average keepers we have, and he has the potential to be a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes such a spaz. Worrying if our range is 5-10mill. I wonder where we would finish if we didn't sign any more players. I don't actually think teams from say 12th to 17th last season are anything special, that's not to say we wouldn't just go straight down but we definitely have a few players to make the step up and play better than 2 years ago.

afar Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I'd want more than £5m like, he didn't cost us much less than that. He's a decent goalkeeper with a promising future IMO. It was 5 million for both he and Jamaal, I think Jamaal was probably 75% of that fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually aligned to that way of thinking also, he's young and obviously will be raw but we won't know what we have until we play him, showed in the summer that he can handle a big stage.

54 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Out of our current crop of keepers Krul should be number 1 with Darlow number 2. Get rid of Sels and Elliott, and send Woodman on loan with a bring back clause incase either Krul or Darlow gets injured. I would be relatively content with that, if it means spending money in other more crucial areas of the pitch. Edit: Forgot Sels had already gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 You can't have bring back clauses anymore, it shafts the club he's on loan to. I'd maybe loan him out until January or keep him until then to learn from a new senior keeper (ie Reina) and then loan him out second half of the season.

geordiedean Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 did Ryder say in that interview we are looking at 5m to 10m players??? get them maps out for Burton again lads if thats the case as no way this club will stop up shopping around that market.....premier league club pays championship fees for players. yet Bournemouth and Leicester spend 20m plus on players.

SEMTEX Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I'm sure Woodman sitting on our bench would do wonders for his career progression.

Oh dear He's absolutely spot on, I don't see how anyone could argue that Westwood isn't the best keeper in that division. All you had to do was watch him in the games against us as well.
