Doesn't everyone have a rubbish old goalkeeper as third keeper? Man City have Carson, Liverpool have Adrian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed think my wider point is it's a shame our 3rd choices isn't an up and coming under 23 rather than someone in no one's plans to provide training alternatives to the other 2. Not sure I can celebrate the loyalty when it's been an amazing payday to be a training tool. Edited May 22 by nufcjmc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled in Texas Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Sounds just like how Eddie stepped in to praise Lascelles as Captain even when not getting much game time. Public praise goes a long way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I can celebrate the loyalty when it's been an amazing payday to be a training tool. I’m not sure riding the bench as a #3 GK does much for a young player’s development. Nor does it much benefit the team (what wisdom are most 18-year olds going to impart on their more seasoned colleagues?) Much rather than an experienced pro in the role, particularly one who’s a teacher of the game, and send the young guys out on loan to get game time.

Also undermines what he does, yes training tool but if that tool improves the finishing of Gordon, Isak etc even 10% then it’s worth his wage. You don’t want Pope and potentially the back up keeper doing long stints after training as it could impact performance / energy levels. Same goes for a younger developing keeper who could be susceptible to injury with the additional workload. Finally 10K a week to a top premier league team, pocket change really Edited May 23 by Monters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Good on the lad, half a million quid a year to train with the first team and gets to watch every home and away game in some cracking seats. Living all our dreams. Imagine this will be his last year. Reckon by this time next Summer one of the keepers we have coming through should at least be ready to be third choice.
