Martin Dúbravka

[Abacus]

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."

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.

Lets see. I dont think there is a club out there paying 5m for him.

[Dr Jinx]

Don't think he could have done anything about that.

[Beth]

£5m If he has a decent tournament we'll get a nominal £1-2m for him.

[Upthemags]

Dubs clean sheet in the biggest upset in Euro history?

 

Respect this man's name (and give us 10m for him!)

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