The Butcher Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Might had a gentleman's agreement with him? He's too good to sit on the bench for a midtable side. Been a great servant and I wish him all the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henderson hopefully have a good season and will be sold for £20-25m and we'll retain Dubravka. I would imagine there's a £1-2m loan fee, plus £5m buy option, and then his wages off your books. Don't see how it's an awful deal to be honest apart from that you're strengthening us. That's only an issue if you see us as rivals though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just want it all. He wanted out. We needed a keeper off the books. We’ll get at least a few million for a 33 year old keeper with a poor injury record. Darlow is competent but not particularly great. That’s why he’s a no 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 It only becomes a ‘bad/terrible/shite’ deal if and when Pope gets injured. Up until that point, it’s money for nothing. Hardly anyone has a quality second keeper these days. The days are Given and Harper are becoming less and less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 God I hope we've got a replacement lined up. Don't want to have to endure watching Darlow anything this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do people not get about the fact we don’t need 4 keepers. If there was any hint of Darlow going Dubravka would be staying. I’m confident in saying another keeper won’t be brought in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I'm not attached to him as others are on here. He was a solid keeper under Rafa, who's form tailed off under Bruce. Every injury he came back worse, then since the Euro's has been a liability. It's taken to see what a proper goalkeeper looks like in our team for others to switch on. He doesn't have the time or the mental attitude to try and challenge for his place, and I can guarantee the period Pope would pick up a knock for us, Dubs would be a game or two behind. I actually though Darlow did well the other night, and I don't rate him at all. Maybe Howe has seen Darlow Vs Dubs in training and Howe doesn't see too much in it, which could easily be the case if Dub's heart isn't in it, as even when it is, he's not good enough.

Lazarus Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I cant be angry at him leaving. I think were all forgetting just how good he was in his debut against manure - and afterwards, literally transformed our defence. Things seemed to change after that Euros were I think he made a couple of errors not just the one linked above. Good luck to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I think we are still slowly trying to move older players on, especially ones who are not in the starting 11. Yes we would have kept him but long term it will be the right decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m confident in saying another keeper won’t be brought in Well I've got a massive problem with our two remaining keepers if Pope gets injured. It should have been Gillespie or Darlow being let go, we're in deep shit if Pope picks up an injury now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggys First Goal Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Not annoyed at Dubs. Players come and go. Nobody owes anybody anything. Thanks for everything and good luck for the future. Just hope we haven't been rinsed by Manure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
