At the same time Dubs probably wont be content to sit on the bench after being our starting keeper for 5 seasons.

Skeletor Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 They'll have to sign another keeper then if Dubravka is used as leverage. Can't have Darlow costing us points again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaztoon Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Just put Ben Foster on bench till Jan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 He's injured too often for a keeper to be relied on. Great to have as a No.2, but I'm glad we've got a keeper in Pope who might last a full season without missing too many games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Use him as bait for Maddison then swap Darlow for Krul. Upgrade as number 2 and he's also classed as an Academy product for when we're back in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having one of the best midfields in the league at the cost of Karl Darlow having to play a few games definitely isn't pointless, imo. I don't rate him obviously but he's hardly the worst backup goalie around, just a worse backup than an actual first choice goalie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 He’s very bad vibes but you could probably get the Fozcast in for a season if needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Pope played 39 in all comps last season and 33 the prior. Dub played 27 in all comps last season and 14 in the prior. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your point that it's definitely not pointless, but I might just disagree with you that Darlow wouldn't be one worst back ups in the league. He's absolutely bloody awful IMO.

Dokko Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I'd clear the decks of our goalkeepers from last season, then bring in a couple of young talents such as Toby Savin and hope one comes good. If need be get a serial 3rd choicer to bring experience. Not really fussed in seeing dubs or darlow on the bench. Rather take ours chances on the future and if something bad happens to pope then you use the next window to bring in competition/more suitable cover.

TorchyTBB Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Darlow would be fine on the bench, imo he's nowhere near as bad as some would have him. Just like Dubravka imo is nowhere near as good as some would have him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Dubravka imo is nowhere near as good as some would have him. On balance of relative benefit to the team, I would certainly be happy to let Dubs go (expected him to chuck the dummy anyway, when we signed Pope) and have Darlow on the bench, if it swung the Maddison deal.
