xLiaaamx Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 His finding is also a reminder of how big a win getting a good player from a smaller league can be. Obviously we need more proven quality too, but I think we could have done with casting the net a bit wider in the past. We've never gone as far east as the Czech republic lately.

Well we did get Cisse from that obscure Bundesliga competition in Germany, but yeah we have previously generally only bought off agents that were known to the club and one would assume could hide their fees well judging by the transfer policy we seem to have been following for the past decade or so.

jimmymag Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 We should definitely sign him, but he did look very nervous v Liverpool and his distribution yesterday was average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 For the fee, it's a no brainer, assuming we stay up. His age is probably something the owner doesn't like, but he's still a good age for a keeper and perfect really for Woodman to understudy for. There may be other options though in the summer, Hart (please god no), Butland (if Stoke drop, others though will surely be in for him and pay way more than our 5 million , could cause a ripple effect though, making other keepers looking for new homes, and Rena I'm sure will be back on the rumour mill again.

David Icke - Son of God Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 We haven't had a keeper that can command his area like this in an absolute lifetime. It's not very Newcastle United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 He hasn’t really been tested yet in terms of shot stopping, but he commands his box fairly well and he’s a talker and organiser which is a huge element of being a ‘keeper. Given the nature of his game in that he wants to come for everything and is quite lively, he is going to drop a clanger every now and again and I accept that because unless you are buying the very best, most ‘keepers will drop a clanger here and there. He is such a big upgrade on what we have. He fills you with confidence when it comes to crosses in the box and when the ball is at his feet. I like what I’ve seen and hope we sign him permanently.

Kanji Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Made 1-2 great stops in all 3 matches he's played for us man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Get more cash for Darlow. Elliot's more likely to be prepared to hang around as 2nd/3rd choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Sell them both, put Woodman on the bench & make a profit... GWWA? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 He literally never shuts up! Very impressed so far and for the fee, he is going to be an absolute bargain! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 He's been absolutely solid so far. Demonstrated by the reaction to his howler on Saturday. If that had been Darlow in his 4th consecutive game, I think the sky would have fallen in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Made 1-2 great stops in all 3 matches he's played for us man. 4 matches and little to do in either, I’m not questioning his shot stopping btw, just saying he can’t really be judged on that at the moment, not that anyone is.

54 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Shot saving I’m talking about. He made two excellent saves against Man United, the one right at the death, and the one on one with Martial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMcQuillan Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Apart from Anfield (which I didn't see), the only time he's conceded has been at Bournemouth (and only after he was nearly knocked out by Shelvey, and I'm convinced wasn't moving freely).

Figures 1-0 Football Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 If we had Darlliot in goal, we’d easily have 3-4 less points than we do now. Superb signing, sign the fucker up for the nominal fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
