Kanji Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Didn't he just sign a new deal? Feel bad that's leaving but also good on him for what he turned his career into! Will wish him well no matter what. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 This is a stupid move that I don't really feel benefits anyone tbh. Not us or Man United, and it's only really benefitting Dubravka because he'll get to play a few european matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes more sense for them than it does for us, but if he wants the move I don’t think we’ll stand in the way out of respect.

Doubt it will prove a good decision for him, particularly if something goes awry with Pope (form or injury). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Wonder why Dubs didn't look for a club where he'd be first choice? Guess you play almost the same number of games if you play in all of Europe and cups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be going to Man Utd as their Cup keeper more than likely. If we'd cup-tied him for a competition he'd likely get a fair percent of his games it'd have put a spanner in the works.

James Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Don’t feel too bothered if Darlow is number 2. id expect Pope to stay fit and play all league games and any major cup games if he doesn’t, the team have improved enough to mitigate Darlow. 2nd choice keeper then becomes next year’s problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having to rely on Darlow instead of Dubs for any amount of time could easily be the difference between top 7 and lower midtable. Edit: I’d say good cover for GK is even more important than good cover for Wilson. We have other players capable of scoring goals (as we saw last year when Wilson was out injured), but against good opposition we still give away plenty of chances, so a top goalkeeper for cover is crucial for our ambitions.

Ste Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Personally wouldn't have any dealings with Man United, but out of respect for a keeper who gave his best during the dark years, if it is his wish then so be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda my thoughts regarding him chucking his dummy - he’s pretty much been first choice since he came here and first time he has to fight for his place he wants away. That speaks volumes to me so screw him - let him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 So many conflicting feelings. I don't want to deny him a move at his age. But it's Man U, he's moving to sit on someone else's bench which irks me whether they're in Europe or not, I don't trust Darlow one bit to be deputy, and it's Man Fucking U.

AJ9 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I presume the reason he’s allowed to move is because of team spirit. No time for cunts that don’t want to be here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 We let Woodman go as his career was going nowhere, Darlow is seemingly happy to be an understudy (and 3rd or 4th choice at that). We should tell Dubs to put his toys back in his pram unless the deal suits us and not his preference to sit on Man U’s bench as opposed to us. Makes no sense for us in the terms mooted.

Stifler Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I was listening to Talk Sport the other day (I know, but got nothing else to listen too at work). Anyway, Forster was on and he was saying that he’s up for a move (free transfer) and would even be willing to be a number 2 at the right place. Maybe he is worth a shout out if we let Dubs go?

Sure I listened to him the other week and he was saying he's enjoying the time off and wasn't sure if he'd be bothered about getting back into it.
