Dubravka was a bit of a revelation when he first came here and contributed lots when, at the time many thought we didn't really need a new keeper.

 

But I do think that, as well as being a bit rusty recently, he just doesn't suit our style of play now - nobody's fault, it happens.

 

Under Rafa we tended to sit back more, so his shot stopping and then onward distribution were pretty key.

 

Now, we need a keeper who comes off his line more than Dubs is used to or comfortable with. That makes him look worse than he would be in a different set up, and probably hits his confidence at the same time. As well as clearly being second choice here when Pope is fit.

 

Then there was the Man U loan, probably as a result of being second choice where he basically then didn't play either, which set him back further.

 

I'm sure he could do a job somewhere and if that's Celtic, then great for all concerned.

Apparently said this when asked about our move for Trafford.

 

"If I'm honest, I don't care what happens anymore. I defended my place and did my best for the Club. If they decide to bring someone else, I won't influence it anymore. This is going on aside at the moment, I'm trying to concentrate on the national team now. I leave the rest out of my head."

Whereabouts was this published?

Nobody is paying that for a 35 year old.

He’s a gk. 5m for a 35 year old gk with experience isn’t bad.

Especially in an FFP world. Zero sell on value and a couple years out of him.

Was decent when we sat deep all game and so he didn't face as many balls over the top and dealing with one on ones.

 

And now not so much. Cost Slovakia today with some horrific play for Ukraine's second.

As soon as I saw that pass I knew it would be a goal. He just can't command the box in anyway and how does he manage to make himself look so small in goal? He's been a great servant to the club but he's finished.
